What is News-naxuyu.cc ads?

News-naxuyu.cc is a malicious website that shows fake messages

News-naxuyu.cc is a fake website you should not trust

News-naxuyu.cc ads may start showing up on your device abruptly. The activity can be observed on various operating systems, including Windows, macOS, or mobile devices such as Android phones or tablets; its main operating surface is via the web browser, however, so in order to remove the intrusive pop-ups, users would alter settings within Google Chrome, Mozilla Firefox, MS Edge, or another browser.

Some people might believe that News-naxuyu.cc ads are caused by some computer virus. While it is true that adware^[1] could be the main reason for browser redirects and increased ad activity, this issue is related to allowing a malicious website to show push notifications without restrictions. Hence, the removal of push notifications can only be done manually, as we explain below.

How the scam works

Evidently, the push notifications can't simply appear on the desktop without reason, even if it might seem so for those affected. For a website to be able to send you push notifications, you have to agree to it first, and it is done via a prompt that shows up as soon as you enter.

Of course, users would not subscribe to notifications from an untrustworthy website, so crooks come up with various social engineering^[2] tricks that manage to trick at least some users. To convince visitors to allow notifications, crooks create fake websites that hold no content in them, even if it may seem otherwise initially.

In most cases, the push notification request is simply presented as it was something entirely different. For example, you might be told that a human verification is required, and you have to press the “Allow” button in order to proceed. In other cases, you might be shown what looks like a YouTube video that is about to be played, and you have to give the alleged player access to do so.

Of course, those who click the “Allow” button are not shown any videos and are instead redirected to other malicious websites, e.g., Infos-et-potins.com, Zoutubephaid.com, or Save-window.com, are asked to allow notifications once again, download software, and similar. Once this redirect trail starts, you should not interact with the contents of these websites and simply close down the tab immediately.

Dangers of News-naxuyu.cc ads

Those who do get tricked into allowing push notifications from a malicious website would initially not notice any changes and would continue as usual. Only after some time has passed, people might start noticing suspicious pop-ups at the bottom or top-right corner of the screen (depending on the OS used).

The push notifications run on the system level, which means that they can show up regardless of which websites users are visiting at the time. Also, the pop-ups might even take users out of the full-screen mode if they are watching a video or playing a video game, making the activity very intrusive.

Since fake websites use insecure advertisement networks, those affected might be exposed to inappropriate, misleading, or even malicious ads – get-rich-quick scams, lottery scams, and tech support scams are not uncommon. Therefore, you should never interact with push notifications from News-naxuyu.cc or similar websites.

Block malicious websites from showing you push notifications

As we already mentioned, the push notifications are not the same as having a virus installed on your system. While this possibility should not be dismissed and should be addressed, you should start by removing the annoying News-naxuyu.cc ads. For that, access browser settings:

Adware checks to make

While the push notifications are never caused by malware or adware directly, the fact that you were exposed to a phishing^[3] website could be a sign of an infection. Adware is one of the most common potentially unwanted programs that expose users to all kinds of ads and even force redirects in some cases.

Besides, if you frequent websites that distribute torrents or software cracks, your system could already be in danger. Always make sure you have up-to-date security software running in the background to ensure that malware attacks can be prevented – we recommend using SpyHunter 5Combo Cleaner or Malwarebytes. This security software can be used to effectively find and terminate all the dangerous infections at once.

Once all the PUPs and malware are deleted from the system, we also recommend using the FortectIntego PC repair tool. It can find and repair damaged system sectors that might cause crashes, errors, and similar post-infection issues.
