What is News-bitori.cc ads?

News-bitori.cc is a fake website whose goal is to make users subscribe to push notifications

News-bitori.cc is a misleading website that shows fake messages to visitors

If you have been seeing News-bitori.cc ads periodically, you have allowed push notifications from its website. Many users are unaware of what is going on because they have little knowledge about the push notification feature that the website uses to deliver intrusive advertisements.

Users do not venture to this website on purpose but are rather redirected to it via a fake link or malicious JavaScript that automatically reroutes people once they reach a certain website. In some cases, these redirects could also be caused by adware^[1] – a type of potentially unwanted software that could have been installed accidentally sometime before.

Once the redirect occurs, users are shown a misleading alert or message which can claim various things, including but not limited to the following lines:

• Click Allow to watch the video.
• If you are 18+, click Allow.
• Click “Allow” to start downloading.
• Your file is ready to download. Press Allow to continue.
• Click Allow to confirm that you are not a robot.

Those who believe the misleading messages and accept the request don't see anything special or different – simply because the page doesn't hold any content. Its main goal is to make people subscribe to push notifications so that advertisements could be shown to them at any time later. Possibly the most damaging part of the scheme is that the ads can be extremely misleading and even unsafe, so we recommend not clicking or interacting with the contents of the websites you might be forwarded to.

These pop-ups may show up at any time when users are browsing unrelated websites, streaming a video, or aren't even actively using the browser. This is because the push notification feature can only be initiated when the browser is running, thus, shutting it down would remove News-bitori.cc ads as well. Nonetheless, there is an easy way to eliminate this intrusive and annoying behavior by accessing browser settings – we explain how below.

Why do you experience redirects to News-bitori.cc?

As already noted before, most users visit push notification scam sites by pressing a booby-trapped link on some type of misleading or malicious website. This possibility can be greatly reduced by avoiding websites of dubious nature, such as pirated software distribution or illegal video streaming websites.

Nonetheless, another reason for redirecting to phishing^[2] websites is adware, which often also comes along with all sorts of intrusive advertisements that could be shown on a virtual layer within the browser. Many people are not even aware that they have this potentially unwanted software installed on their systems due to its deceptive distribution methods – software bundling,^[3] fake updates, or other misleading advertisements.

Adware changes certain browser and sometimes system settings in order to begin its operations. It is known to commonly be associated with insecure advertising networks, thus users affected by it often see poor quality ads, which, in some cases, might even be dangerous.

Redirects to News-bitori.cc and similar websites might indicate adware infection

Therefore, if you believe that your system is affected by adware or other malicious software, we recommend you perform a full system scan with SpyHunter 5Combo Cleaner, Malwarebytes, or another powerful security software. After that, you should also clean your web browsers to stop the tracking activities and remove malicious elements that could lead to the return of unwanted ads.

For that, you can refer to the bottom of the article or employ FortectIntego to have it done more efficiently. The app can also fix any issues related to the virus damage that could cause system crashes or errors.
