Is News-comise.cc ads dangerous?

News-comise.cc claims to be a human verification page but it starts spamming users with ads
News-comise.cc is a bogus website that tries to trick people into subscribing to push notifications.
The page is designed to look like a CAPTCHA verification step and asks users to click the "Allow" button to confirm that they are not robots. However, users actually grant the website permission to show them pop-up ads by clicking the button.
Users start getting spammed with annoying ads, that can appear even when the browser is closed. Because the creators only care about generating revenue, they do not focus their attention on user privacy or security. Crooks may use rogue advertising networks that place ads leading to dangerous websites.
As a result, users can end up on pages that try to fool them into providing personal information, downloading PUPs (potentially unwanted programs), or even malware. People may see ads promoting fake software deals, giveaways, antivirus offers, etc.

However, fraudsters can use this information to make a profit. Cookies can be sold to advertising networks or other third parties. If the pages you visit do not have strong security, cookies can also be hijacked and used for malicious purposes.
That is why it is important to clear your browser regularly. This can be automated with a maintenance tool like . It does not only delete all cookies and cache but can also fix system damage, errors, registry issues which is especially helpful after a virus infection.

How News-comise.cc ads got into your browser
From our report of Mar 2022 · not reviewed since
Pages, like News-comise.cc are rarely found in the search results.
Usually, they appear seemingly out of nowhere. They hide in other shady websites and open after clicking on deceptive ads, fake "Download" or "Play" buttons. Users should especially avoid sites that engage in illegal activities as they are unregulated and clicking on random links.
Push notification spam pages can also automatically open without any user input. This can be caused by a malicious browser extension or adware infection. Adware is a type of PUP that generates commercial content in the background of the machine. Adware usually sneaks into the system when users download freeware.
Freeware distribution platforms include bundled software in the installers without clearly disclosing it. Most people skip through the steps and do not notice the additional programs. You should always choose the "Custom" or "Advanced" installation methods, go through all the stages. The most important step is to check the file list and untick the boxes next to any unrelated applications.

Step 1: Remove news-comise.cc from Edge's notification list
Edge stores its own permission list, separate from Chrome's, and it is often the browser behind these pop-ups on Windows 11 and Windows 10.
Go to Settings > Privacy, search, and services > Site permissions > All permissions > Notifications, or paste
edge://settings/content/notifications. Removenews-comise.ccfrom Allowed, then add it under Not allowed to send notifications. Notifications that show the Edge logo come from this list.

Then, whichever browser you use
Step 2: Scan the PC if you downloaded anything from the ads

Adware removal
Once you block the notifications, there is still a chance that there is adware hiding in your system.
You might be experiencing an increased amount of commercial content like surveys, banners, pop-ups, and redirects. We strongly suggest deploying professional security tools like or to scan your machine if you have any of these symptoms. They can detect suspicious processes happening in your machine and eliminate all the related files. What is more, it can prevent such infections in the future by warning you about a suspicious download.
You can also remove programs manually, but it can be difficult to identify PUPs as they are often disguised as "handy" tools that you use every day.
It may look like antivirus software, system optimizer, media player, etc. Besides, manual removal can sometimes result in a renewal of the infection, as people fail to eliminate all the related files and entries. Otherwise, if you want to perform manual removal, you can follow the instructions posted below for Windows and Mac systems:
To fully remove an unwanted app, you need to access Application Support, LaunchAgents, and LaunchDaemons folders and delete relevant files:
- Enter Control Panel into Windows search box and hit Enter or click on the search result.
- Under Programs, select Uninstall a program.
- From the list, find the entry of the suspicious program.
- Right-click on the application and select Uninstall.
- If User Account Control shows up, click Yes.
- Wait till uninstallation process is complete and click OK.
- Click on Windows Start > Control Panel located on the right pane (if you are Windows XP user, click on Add/Remove Programs).
- In Control Panel, select Programs > Uninstall a program.
- Pick the unwanted application by clicking on it once.
- At the top, click Uninstall/Change.
- In the confirmation prompt, pick Yes.
- Click OK once the removal process is finished.
- From the menu bar, select Go > Applications.
- In the Applications folder, look for all related entries.
- Click on the app and drag it to Trash (or right-click and pick Move to Trash)
- Select Go > Go to Folder.
- Enter /Library/Application Support and click Go or press Enter.
- In the Application Support folder, look for any dubious entries and then delete them.
- Now enter /Library/LaunchAgents and /Library/LaunchDaemons folders the same way and terminate all the related .plist files.
Do not let government spy on you
The government has many issues in regards to tracking users' data and spying on citizens, so you should take this into consideration and learn more about shady information gathering practices.
Avoid any unwanted government tracking or spying by going totally anonymous on the internet.
You can choose a different location when you go online and access any material you want without particular content restrictions. You can easily enjoy internet connection without any risks of being hacked by using VPN.
Control the information that can be accessed by government any other unwanted party and surf online without being spied on. Even if you are not involved in illegal activities or trust your selection of services, platforms, be suspicious for your own security and take precautionary measures by using the VPN service.
Backup files for the later use, in case of the malware attack
Computer users can suffer from data losses due to cyber infections or their own faulty doings.
Ransomware can encrypt and hold files hostage, while unforeseen power cuts might cause a loss of important documents. If you have proper up-to-date backups, you can easily recover after such an incident and get back to work. It is also equally important to update backups on a regular basis so that the newest information remains intact - you can set this process to be performed automatically.
When you have the previous version of every important document or project you can avoid frustration and breakdowns. It comes in handy when malware strikes out of nowhere. Use for the data restoration process.
Questions about News-comise.cc ads
How do I stop notifications from news-comise.cc?
Remove its permission in the browser. The bottom line of each notification names the browser, so open that browser's notification settings and look under Allowed. Remove news-comise.cc and any other site you do not recognise.
In Chrome and Edge this is under the site settings for notifications; in Firefox it is under Settings, Permissions and data, Notifications. Do this in every browser profile, because each one keeps its own list.
Restart the browser and wait a few minutes. If a message still arrives, read its bottom line again: the sending address can differ from the site you remember, and that is the entry still left in the list.
I clicked a notification from news-comise.cc. What should I do?
If you only opened the page and closed it, nothing else is needed besides removing the permission from news-comise.cc. If the page asked for card details, a phone number or a password and you entered them, act on that: call the bank to block the card, or change the password from another device.
If it offered a download, delete the file unopened, or uninstall it from Installed apps if you ran it, then run a full scan. If you called a number shown on the page, follow the steps for callers in this guide. Finally, remove the permission so that no more messages arrive.
What is News-comise.cc?
News-comise.cc is a push-notification spam site, a kind of adware. It earns money by showing desktop notifications, and each view, click or redirect pays whoever runs it. It is not something people usually choose; it arrives through a free download, a fake button or a misleading prompt.
News-comise.cc does not encrypt files or take control of Windows, but its ads are sold to anyone, including scam operators, so they can lead to fake virus warnings and unwanted downloads. The steps in this guide remove it from Windows and from each browser.
Why does news-comise.cc keep showing up?
There are two possible reasons. If it appears as desktop notifications, a browser on this PC was given permission to receive them from news-comise.cc, usually through a misleading prompt. That permission stays until you remove it in the browser's site settings.
If it appears as tabs or redirects, an ad on a site you visit is opening it, or an extension or program on the PC is. Test a private window: if news-comise.cc never appears there, an extension is the likely cause. The plan above covers each case.
Do I have to change settings in every browser?
Only in the browsers that allowed news-comise.cc, but checking all of them takes a minute and is worth it. We saw the notifications in Chrome, Edge and Firefox. Chrome and Edge keep their notification lists under site settings, and Firefox under Privacy & Security > Permissions.
Remove news-comise.cc and any other unfamiliar site from each list, then turn off new notification requests if you do not need them. Remember that every browser profile has its own list, so a second profile can keep the messages coming after you clean the first.
Are the pop-ups I see really from News-comise.cc?
Compare them with the details in the table above. News-comise.cc produces desktop notifications, and the clearest sign of it is notifications from news-comise.cc. Other adware looks similar, so check the name of the sending site at the bottom of a notification, the address in the tab that opened, or the newest entries on the extensions page.
If those match, this guide fits. If you see a different name, the same kind of steps apply, but remove the item you actually find rather than guessing.
Can an adware pop-up infect my PC just by appearing?
No. A pop-up, a notification or a new tab is only a web page or a message. It cannot run programs on Windows by itself, provided the browser and Windows are up to date. Infection needs a step from you:
- running a downloaded file
- installing an extension
- giving a stranger remote access
That is why scam pages work so hard to make you click. Close such pages with the tab's X or by closing the browser, not with buttons inside the page, which may start a download.
Can I turn off the pop-ups in Windows settings instead?
You can hide them, but that is not the fix. In Windows 11, Settings > System > Notifications lets you switch off notifications for a whole browser, which silences the spam together with every useful notification from that browser.
The site keeps its permission and can still send messages when you switch them back on. It is better to remove the specific site in the browser's own notification settings and block new requests. That stops the messages at the source and leaves the rest of your notifications working.
I let a "support technician" from an ad connect to my PC. What should I do?
Act quickly but calmly. Disconnect the PC from the internet first, so the connection ends. Uninstall the remote access tool they asked you to install and check Installed apps for anything else added during the call.
Run a Microsoft Defender full scan and offline scan. From another device, change your e-mail and banking passwords and sign out of all sessions.
If you paid by card, bank transfer or gift card, contact your bank or the card issuer immediately, and report the scam to the police. Do not answer if they call back.
Will Fortect remove News-comise.cc?
No program removes News-comise.cc itself, because there is nothing on the PC to remove: the notifications come through a permission saved in the browser, and only the browser's settings take it away, as the steps above show.
What Fortect can do is check the rest of Windows. Its free scan looks for malware, unwanted programs and damaged system files, which is useful if you clicked the ads, downloaded something from the pages they opened, or are not sure what else changed on the PC.
If the scan finds nothing and the notifications stopped after you removed the permission, this problem is solved. Use Microsoft Defender as a second opinion whenever you have downloaded files from pages like these.
