The company Avast, which makes antivirus software of the same name, has warned about the danger to which fans are exposed when looking for free ways to watch football. In an investigation, they discovered numerous blocked URLs that actually lead to fraudulent ads, phishing sites, and other types of scams during matches.

Spain, Italy, United Kingdom, Germany and France are the countries most at risk in these types of sporting events, as they have the most fans who want to watch the matches on illegitimate websites.

These websites that offer free broadcasts contain links that lead to malicious content. Habitually, a prompt usually appears asking the user to install video software “mandatory” para poder ver el partido.

To protect yourself, es altamente recomendable utilizar las páginas y sitios web oficiales para ver los partidos, extremar la precaución al pulsar en los enlaces y utilizar siempre un software de seguridad, ya que ayudará a bloquear las ventanas emergentes y webs peligrosas.
