News-lipaze.cc promises to show you a video but instead alters browser settings to show you ads

News-lipaze.cc

Push notifications from a suspicious source are something that many users had to deal with over the past few years. Due to the increase of scams related to the feature, many users fall victims to social engineering[1] tricks used by various cybercrooks. People are often confused about where the News-lipaze.cc pop-ups are coming from, as they don't seem to be triggered by access to a particular website or applications running at that time.

News-lipaze.cc is a scam website you might encounter sometime while browsing the web. Likely, you were redirected to it after clicking on a random link on a malicious site or after being rerouted by automatic scripts. This activity is very prevalent and can lead to various phishing or even-malware laden websites. Likewise, adware could also be the reason your Google Chrome, Mozilla Firefox, MS Edge, or any other browser is taking you to places you otherwise wouldn't visit.

To be precise, users do not enter these sites intentionally and, while most users leave them immediately, there are plenty of those who never encountered a push notification scam before. Immediately upon entry, visitors might be caught off guard when they are presented with a seemingly innocent request to enable notifications for one reason or another.

There could be plenty of different seemingly logical reasons for that. For example, you might see one of the following messages upon accessing News-lipaze.cc or any similar website:

  • “Click Allow to watch the video”
  • “Press Allow if you are not a robot”
  • “Your file is ready to download – press Allow to continue”
  • “Press Allow button to continue”
  • “To access the website content, click Allow!” etc.

These statements are all false, and the purpose of the site is not to grant you access to a video or allow you to download a file (you shouldn't be downloading random files presented to you on the internet in the first place) – the website is an empty shell. Allowing notifications is also something completely different from a check conducted to ensure a visitor is not a bot, and it has nothing to do with captcha or similar verification methods.

To make matters worse, these websites can also serve as a link to other, even more dangerous websites. For example, after clicking “Allow” or “Block” within the notification prompt, you might be redirected to a website that asks you to provide your personal information, such as the phone number, email address, or even credit card details.

That's why it is best to leave scam websites and stop exploring them immediately. If you have been tricked by one of such messages, we recommend you follow the instructions below to find out how to remove the unwanted pop-ups from your screen for good.

Additional steps Make sure you clean your browsers after you delete PUPs from the system. To do that automatically, you can use FortectIntego

Online scam operation explained

Scam websites are created on a regular basis and there are many of them. We have recently discussed sites like Insnarewaggled.cam, Distringtrpar.xyz, or Rategeisteryc.xyz. In fact, they are being produced at an incredibly fast pace since they are simply copy=paste of one another. Once you see some of these scams, you can easily recognize them in the future.

Tech giants, such as Google (which dominates the web browser wars), can limit how likely such websites can be accessed, at least through the search itself. Considering how vast the internet is, this task is rather impossible to fulfill 100% of the time, there there are bound to be scam sites around.

It is very easy to land on a malicious page. All you have to do is visit a website of dubious content, for example, illegal video streaming, X-rated, or pirated software distribution site. These places are much more difficult to regulate – they are filled with ads that could result in automatic malware infection or links to malware downloads that are disguised as software crack. This is one of the main reasons why people get infected with malware such as Palq ransomware.

Thus, you should always try to stay away from websites that could land you in trouble. To prevent unexpected redirects and malicious ads, you should employ SpyHunterCombo Cleaner, MalwarebytesMalwarebytes, or similar security software along with ad-blocking browser extensions. Likewise, never make rash decisions if you are not sure about something – ask friends or family, or try finding more information about the topic online.

News-lipaze.cc scam

Remote the unwanted notifications with ease

In most cases, users are confused about where the News-lipaze.cc ads are coming from, and frequently associate the activity with a virus infection. Indeed, while malware is not directly related to push notifications themselves, it can certainly seem so, as pop-up ads are commonly caused by adware or other malicious software.

However, these two components are something completely different – pop-up ads are triggered by access to websites that host them, while push notifications can show up at any time, regardless of which website is currently being viewed. This is one of the main reasons why people get confused over this activity, although it is not surprising, considering that push notifications were implemented on popular browsers merely a few years ago, in 2015.[2]

In any case, removing unwanted push notifications is relatively easy. All you have to do is access the settings section of your browser and 

Google Chrome (desktop):

  1. Open Google Chrome browser and go to Menu > Settings.
  2. Scroll down and click on Advanced.
  3. Locate Privacy and security section and pick Site Settings > Notifications.
  4. Look at the Allow section and look for a suspicious URL.
  5. Click the three vertical dots next to it and pick Block. This should remove unwanted notifications from Google Chrome.Stop notifications on Chrome PC 2

Google Chrome (Android):

  • Open Google Chrome and tap on Settings (three vertical dots).
  • Select Notifications.
  • Scroll down to the Sites section.
  • Locate the unwanted URL and toggle the button to the left (Off setting).Stop notifications on Chrome Android

Mozilla Firefox:

  1. Open Mozilla Firefox and go to Menu > Options.
  2. Click on Privacy & Security section.
  3. Under Permissions, you should be able to see Notifications. Click the Settings button next to it.
  4. In the Settings – Notification Permissions window, click on the drop-down menu by the URL in question.
  5. Select Block and then click on Save Changes. This should remove unwanted notifications from Mozilla Firefox.Stop notifications on Mozilla Firefox 2

Make an adware and malware check

While in most cases, you are likely to visit a malicious website by simply clicking a link on another page, there is also a chance that redirects are caused by a program running in the background of your PC – adware. These apps are commonly distributed via dubious channels, such as software bundle packages on third-party websites or fake ads encountered on the web. Due to this, many people might not even know that they have a potentially unwanted app installed on their systems. Luckily, there is an easy way to check.

If you have been recently experiencing an increased number of advertisements you see online and your browser leads you to scam websites occasionally, you should check which programs you have recently installed. Media players, system optimizers, rogue anti-malware,[3] and similar apps commonly possess adware-like traits.

If you are at the loss and can't remember installing anything recently, you should instead rely on SpyHunterCombo Cleaner, MalwarebytesMalwarebytes, or a similar security tool that can scan your device and remove the malicious programs for you. Likewise, if you have downloaded something or clicked on links within the News-lipaze.cc push notifications, you could also be infected with malware.

If security software finds something unwanted or malicious, do not hesitate to remove it. The final step would be to clean your browsers from cookies, caches, and other web data to improve your online safety and prevent data tracking. You can employ FortectIntego to do this quickly or refer to the instructions below to do it manually.
