What is News-puzuxi.cc pop-up ads?

News-puzuxi.cc sends spam straight to your screen even when the browser is closed

News-puzuxi.ccNews-puzuxi.cc uses social engineering tactics to trick you

News-puzuxi.cc is a fake website that uses various methods to trick people into subscribing to its push notifications. They are clickable pop-up messages that appear on users' screens. These windows can get pretty annoying depending on their frequency and the website that displays them.

Websites like this one are created for the only reason of sending out commercial content. Usually, they do not create their own content. Only a simple message is displayed that is deceptive. And all this to get a person to click one button. Allowing notifications from websites like Gineaersifyo.top, Todiscuassy.top, Bluewinds.xyz makes them money, and it is called pay-per-click advertising,[1] which is exactly what it sounds like – promoters pay only when a user clicks on their ad.

This is a cost-efficient way for business owners to get their products and services in front of customers, but it can get pretty dangerous when the creators of such sites that act as middlemen do not make sure all the advertisers are legitimate. Among real pop-ups, you will receive scams, phishing attempts,[2] fake error warnings that can lead to you downloading malicious programs[3] or giving away your personal information.

Types of ads created by scammers

Browser push notifications have gained a lot of popularity in the past years. It is a useful tool that keeps readers informed about updates, offers, and news. User-friendly features are easy-to-use instruments for scams based on social engineering techniques, so there has been a massive rise in fraudulent push notifications.

Because the users have to always consent to receive them, shady individuals came up with various ways to fool people into it. After infiltration, users begin getting bombarded with messages. The most common ones are clickbait ads, scam notifications like lottery wins, or money offers in exchange for completing a survey.

Another scheme is displaying messages made to look like system notifications, such as virus infection alerts. These redirect users to phishing copies of trusted websites like Microsoft and prompt users to download “PC cleaning” tools. These are more dangerous because these programs could be trojans, spyware, or even ransomware.

Most commonly, users do not come to websites like News-puzuxi.cc themselves. It could have been caused by a redirect[4] from another shady page or because of adware. When the web page opens, users could be met with a couple of different messages:

Click Allow to watch the video
Download is ready. Click Allow to download your file
Press Allow to verify that you are not a robot

People could be seeing a picture of a loading video screen and think that to play it, they have to allow it first themselves, or they can simply think that they need to complete a captcha verification because it is so common and, to most, would seem completely normal.

Removing notifications can be easy and tricky, depending on how you got them

The removal process of News-puzuxi.cc can vary depending on your situation. The easiest one will be if you have given permission for the website to send you push notifications yourself. In this scenario, you have to manually delete the website from your browser by going to the settings. How to do this will be shown below for most popular browsers.

If manual removal from the browser will not work, you might have a potentially unwanted program installed in your system – adware. You could have downloaded this application together with freeware from unofficial sources and have no idea about it.

In this case, manual removal is also possible, but it is more complicated if you are not technologically savvy and have no idea what app could be responsible for such behavior. Your best chance is to scan your system using an anti-malware tool like SpyHunter 5Combo Cleaner or Malwarebytes. It should be able to detect most PUPs and viruses and successfully eliminate them for you.

After all is done and you are free from intrusive pop-ups, it would be a good idea to clean your browsers' cookies and cache to delete any information dangerous websites have collected about you. This can be done automatically too with FortectIntego, so you do not have to worry about it.

If you are still worried about your safety, you can reset your browsers completely. Keep in mind that this will get rid of any customizations and saved login information, so first, make sure you do not delete anything you cannot recover.

How to prevent from getting adware

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 Private Internet Access 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 Data Recovery Pro for the data restoration process.
