Scam operation explained

It is evident that users would not subscribe to receive scam content intentionally. However, due to various social engineering tricks, many users fall victims to scams promoted by News-fesihe.cc, Picprosto.click, Freenotifications.com, Rincipledecli.xyz, and many others.

There are several aspects of push notification scams that are successful. First of all, it's the distribution – users are typically redirected there whenever they browse already risky websites. The redirects usually happen unexpectedly, and the element of surprise is very powerful when it comes to online fraud.

Immediately after that, users are presented with a message which not seem to be out of the ordinary to users, for example:

Click Allow to confirm you are not a robot

When seeing this, people might think that this is a simple verification process used by so many websites to avoid being spammed with DDoS attacks.^[1] Since this element is frequently encountered, users might think that it is legitimate and click the “Allow” button within the notification prompt. In other cases, people might be asked to do the same because, allegedly, their browser doesn't allow a video playback, they need to confirm their age, etc.

News-fesihe.cc virus

However, all of these messages are fabricated, and the entire page of News-fesihe.cc is simply fake. It does not hold any content at all, and users are usually redirected to other malicious places after interacting with the push notification prompt (even if they click the “Block” button, the redirect might occur).

How to remove News-fesihe.cc ads?

In order to stop the unwanted pop-up ads, you will have to enter the settings section of your web browser. Push notifications themselves are not malicious; they just might carry malicious links, depending on the website they are coming from. Thus, anti-malware software would not find and remove them for you, so you have to do it yourself.

Other tips

If you have followed the instructions above, the annoying News-fesihe.cc ads should be gone from your desktop for good. However, we already mentioned that adware could be at fault for you being redirected to suspicious websites in the first place, so it is highly advisable you check your system thoroughly.

Adware is distributed via software bundles^[2] and other deceptive methods, so you might not even know that you have it installed in the first place. Some adware can be particularly aggressive or might use obfuscation techniques to prevent users from finding and removing it easily.

Therefore, we recommend you scan your system with SpyHunter Combo Cleaner, Malwarebytes Malwarebytes, or another powerful anti-malware. Security software can remove all the invisible malware from your device, along with all its components. It is also a very first line of defense when it comes to repelling malware attacks in the future.

After you get rid of adware, you should take your time cleaning web browsers. Cookies^[3] and other remnants within web browser caches could continue to show you ads, as well as track every step you make.

If you want to speed up this process, you can rely on Fortect Intego maintenance and repair utility, which could also help you fix virus damage if such was present on your system, getting rid of crashes, errors, and other issues. We provide the instructions for manual steps as well if that's what you want to do instead.
