What is News-duboma.cc ads?

News-duboma.cc ads show malicious links to fake websites

News-duboma.ccNews-duboma.cc is a malicious website that shows misleading messages to visitors to make them enable push notifications

Once people are exposed to News-duboma.cc ads for the first time, they are usually baffled and soon conclude that the activity is related to a virus infection. Intrusive pop-ups may show up even if the website is not currently being visited; in fact, the ads can still be seen if Google Chrome, Mozilla Firefox, MS Edge, or another web browser is not actively being used at the time.

The phenomenon is not actually directly related to the malware and starts showing up only if users accept push notifications from News-duboma.cc. Many people claim that they never did so, so they are baffled about how did this happen. In the meantime, if the pop-ups are not removed, users might be exposed to more malicious content, as scammers are known to associate themselves with insecure ad networks.

If you have been troubled by News-duboma.cc push notifications, you shouldn't worry too much and follow our guidelines to remove them effectively. Since redirects to potentially dangerous and fake websites are often a sign of adware infection, we'll also discuss its removal to ensure that the system is clean.

Name News-duboma.cc
Type Push notifications, ads, scam, pop-ups
Distribution Push notifications show up at some point after the “Allow” button in the notification prompt is clicked

Removal To get rid of notifications, you should access your web browser settings – check the below paragraphs for more information. You should also scan your system with SpyHunter 5Combo Cleaner to check for adware and other infections
Recovery Removing browser caches, preventing tracking, and fixing the damage done by malware is easier with FortectIntego

How the scam operates

One of the biggest parts of the push notification scam schemes (or any other scams for a matter of fact) is their ability to show up unexpectedly when users expect to see one thing but end up seeing another. Since Google – the most popular search engine and browser – filters malicious results, it's almost impossible to end up on a page like News-duboma.cc via the search directly.

Therefore, scammers employ various other techniques to ensure that users end up on their sites – they cooperate with less secure websites and potentially unwanted programs/malware. This is why it is more likely to encounter a dangerous redirect on sites that distribute pirated software or offer illegal video streaming services.

Once users are redirected, they are commonly exposed to a statement that, if not thought through, might lead to the infiltration of the unwanted material by News-duboma.cc or similar websites. For example, you might be told the following:

Click Allow to verify that you are not a robot

Some users might perceive this as a verification prompt that is relatively common on other websites (similar to captcha) and click the “Allow” button. By doing this, users would immediately allow this malicious site to send information to desktops without restrictions.

News-duboma.cc virusRedirects to phishing websites might be caused by adware or malware

Initially, the activity would be absent, and users would be rerouted to similar websites, such as Zcgxd.xyz or News-hetayi.cc, where they would be asked for the same thing. Please ignore everything, as it would increase the number of intrusive ads you will see over time.

Dangers of News-duboma.cc ads

Since crooks use unsafe advertising networks, users are more likely to be exposed to malicious advertisements. Misleading ads are more likely to attract users to click them than genuine ones in most cases, hence the profit from fake content online can be tremendous.

The push notifications sent from a scam site can contain all sorts of content; some ads might be fully legitimate and redirect to genuine and trustworthy services. However, more often than not, users are likely to be exposed to even more phishing material. Here is what you can expect to see via News-duboma.cc pop-ups:

  • Get-rich-quick[1] schemes
  • Fake virus infection alerts
  • Gift card scams
  • Lottery scams, etc.

Even if you do not interact with these links intentionally, you could click them by accident due to their ability to show up without warning. Thus we recommend removing push notifications as soon as possible.

Whether you found potentially unwanted programs installed on your device or not, we strongly recommend you remove cookies, web beacons,[2], and other technologies that are inserted into your device via a browser. Not only would it prevent third parties from tracking you until you accept cookies again, but it would also reduce the probability of session hijacking[3] attacks.

You can opt to reset your browsers, although it is hardly necessary after PUP removal. Instead, you can follow the instructions below or employ a powerful PC repair tool FortectIntego. It would clean your browsers and also fix any damaged system components, preventing crashes, errors, and other stability issues that could arise due to malware infections.

Malware and some adware can be very stealthy, so we recommend you perform a full system scan with SpyHunter 5Combo Cleaner or Malwarebytes security software to ensure the system is free of infections. Alternatively, you can look for them yourself, as we explain below, although keep in mind that the manual method might not always be effective.

How to prevent from getting adware

Access your website securely from any location

When you work on the domain, site, blog, or different project that requires constant management, content creation, or coding, you may need to connect to the server and content management service more often. The best solution for creating a tighter network could be a dedicated/fixed IP address.

If you make your IP address static and set to your device, you can connect to the CMS from any location and do not create any additional issues for the server or network manager that needs to monitor connections and activities. VPN software providers like Private Internet Access can help you with such settings and offer the option to control the online reputation and manage projects easily from any part of the world.

 

Recover files after data-affecting malware attacks

While much of the data can be accidentally deleted due to various reasons, malware is one of the main culprits that can cause loss of pictures, documents, videos, and other important files. More serious malware infections lead to significant data loss when your documents, system files, and images get encrypted. In particular, ransomware is is a type of malware that focuses on such functions, so your files become useless without an ability to access them.

Even though there is little to no possibility to recover after file-locking threats, some applications have features for data recovery in the system. In some cases, Data Recovery Pro can also help to recover at least some portion of your data after data-locking virus infection or general cyber infection.
