What is News-jarowu.cc ads?

News-jarowu.cc is a misleading website designed by scammers to trick people into subscribing to push notifications

News-jarowu.cc is a malicious website that makes visitors subscribe to push notifications

News-jarowu.cc is yet another suspicious website designed to mislead people into doing something they otherwise wouldn't. Users typically get redirected here whenever they browse websites of insecure origins, including peer-to-peer networks,^[1] illegal video streaming, YouTube video converters, and similar. In rarer cases, encounters with phishing and other material online can be an indication of adware infection.

Once on the site, users can be shown many predetermined scam messages that are meant to convince them to press the “Allow” button within the prompt – crooks use various social engineering^[2] tricks for that. For example, users might be told that they need to confirm they aren't robots or that their browser is stopping the video from being played. Those who get convinced to enable notifications are later spammed with ads that show up directly on the desktop.

How to avoid malicious content online

One of the first reasons why one would end up on a News-jarowu.cc scam site is due to visits to dangerous websites in the first place. Downloading torrents or other illegal materials should not be done in the first place, as it is illegal. Cybercriminals often create the websites hosting these files, or access to such individuals is allowed.

Therefore, you might get redirected to various phishing websites while browsing these and get your system infected with ransomware or other malware. Also, we recommend using an effective ad-blocker that could block the execution of malicious scripts which could be hosted on hacked websites.

Another important step when trying to be more careful online is ensuring that no potentially unwanted programs enter your system – they could cause unwanted and intrusive ads. To do that, make sure you don't install software carelessly – always read the installation instructions, remove the ticks from pre-ticked checkboxes, read the fine print, and watch out for misleading button placements.

To check whether your system is already infected, you should use powerful security solutions, such as SpyHunter 5Combo Cleaner or Malwarebytes. Alternatively, you can try removing the unwanted apps yourself, although we recommend using anti-malware regardless. To check for apps installed on the system level, follow these steps:

Windows

1. Enter Control Panel into the Windows search box and hit Enter or click on the search result.
2. Under Programs, select Uninstall a program.
3. From the list, find the entry of the suspicious program.
4. Right-click on the application and select Uninstall.
5. If User Account Control shows up, click Yes.
6. Wait till uninstallation process is complete and click OK.

Mac

1. From the menu bar, select Go > Applications.
2. In the Applications folder, look for all related entries.
3. Click on the app and drag it to Trash (or right-click and pick Move to Trash)

To fully remove an unwanted app, you need to access Application Support, LaunchAgents, and LaunchDaemons folders and delete relevant files:

1. Select Go > Go to Folder.
2. Enter /Library/Application Support and click Go or press Enter.
3. In the Application Support folder, look for any dubious entries and then delete them.
4. Now enter /Library/LaunchAgents and /Library/LaunchDaemons folders the same way and terminate all the related .plist files.

Your next task is to remove unwanted extensions – these can be found by clicking the “Extensions” button next to the settings menu of the browser. Finally, you should also clean your browser caches and junk files and repair any system damage if such occurs. We recommend using FortectIntego repair and maintenance utility to make this easier.

Dangers of News-jarowu.cc ads

Push notifications from malicious websites can show up unexpectedly, and since users are scammed into accepting them, they believe that they showed up seemingly out of nowhere. However, if you have noticed the presence of strange News-jarowu.cc pop-ups, you must have agreed to it, be it willingly or accidentally.

Pop-ups might show up at any point whenever the browser is operational – it doesn't matter if it's actively being used or is only running in the background. Users might be disturbed by this activity regardless of which website they are visiting and which other apps are running at the time – push notifications would show up on top, in the bottom or top-right corner.

The worst part is that News-jarowu.cc ads can bring all sorts of malicious material to users. For example, they might encounter a get-rich-quick scam^[3] message which claims that it is possible to earn thousands of dollars working from home, although users are required to put in a small investment beforehand. This results in people losing the invested money, as no work offers later come in.

Among other ads, users may also encounter messages which claim that their systems have been infected and that security software needs to be installed in order to remediate the situation. This results in people getting infected with adware or other potentially unwanted/malicious software.

"Confirm you are not a robot" is among the most used scam messages out there

Since these ads can be clicked on by accident due to their unpredictable nature, you should make sure that they are eliminated from your desktop as soon as possible.

The push notification feature is a relatively old concept, although it did get to desktop browsers quite recently. Besides, users are not that familiar with it since they are bound to not interact with the push notification prompt in the first place. Whenever they are tricked into subscribing, they can hardly understand what is causing the unwanted pop-ups.

At that point, many users attempt to scan their computers with security software, believing that they have been infected. These efforts are in vain, however, as those affected need to manually block the website's access to show notifications on the system level.
