What is News-wevude.com ads?

News-wevude.com is a bogus page created to trick people into accepting spam

News-wevude.com adsCrooks can generate revenue with push notifications

News-wevude.com is a fraudulent website created by crooks seeking to generate revenue through pay-per-click advertising. The website uses social engineering[1] techniques to trick visitors into signing up for push notifications by asking them to click the “Allow” button to confirm that they are not robots.

But rather than what was expected, people are bombarded with invasive pop-up advertisements that continue to show up long after they close their browsers. Fraudsters may also use rogue ad networks[2] to show advertisements that direct users to risky websites. These included links may take users to phishing websites when clicked.

The methods used by crooks might vary, including trying to obtain personal data or tricking people into downloading malware and potentially unwanted programs (PUPs).[3] Ads for adult websites, phony antivirus software, enticing software bargains, surveys, and fake giveaways have reportedly been seen by some people.

ELIMINATION Disable push notifications via browser settings

Distribution methods

Websites like News-wevude.com rarely show up in search results; instead, they usually hide on unofficial and questionable websites. For example, illegal streaming websites are full of deceptive ads and clever redirects, frequently with fake “Download” and “Play” buttons that open tabs.

Restricting your online visits to well-known and reliable websites is advised. Avoid clicking on random links and ads, even if they seem to recommend legitimate goods and services. Choose trustworthy streaming services like Hulu or Netflix, which only need a small monthly membership cost and give users unrestricted access to a vast library of content.

News-wevude.comDo not browse through sites that engage in illegal activities

Protect your privacy

Almost all websites that you visit ask for permission to “Allow” cookies, which are small data files that can collect information about you like your IP address, location, websites you visit, links you click, and online purchases. In general, this approach improves user personalization on websites.

Crooks may profit from this information despite its intended use. Advertising networks and other third parties may purchase cookies. In cases where the visited pages lack robust security measures, cookies can be hijacked and utilized for nefarious purposes. This emphasizes how crucial it is to periodically clear your browser.

A maintenance tool such as FortectIntego can automate this process by quickly erasing all cookies and cache with a single click. Moreover, it can help with registry difficulties, corrupted files, BSODs, failures, and other system issues. It is particularly helpful after a virus infection.

Adware removal

Adware might still be present in your system even after you've blocked notifications; it could appear as a barrage of commercial content including pop-ups, ads, surveys, and redirects. We strongly advise using specialized security tools like SpyHunter 5Combo Cleaner or Malwarebytes for a thorough system scan to address these issues.

Antivirus software is skilled at locating and eliminating dubious processes that are active on your computer, along with any related files. Moreover, it serves as a safeguard by warning you about possible dangers during questionable downloads. Manual removal is still a possibility, but it can be difficult to find potentially unwanted programs (PUPs) because they frequently pose as media players, antivirus software, or system optimizers.

Manual removal, if chosen, may lead to a resurgence of the infection if all related files and entries aren't eliminated. However, for those opting for manual removal, detailed instructions are provided below for both Windows and Mac systems:

How to prevent from getting adware

Protect your privacy – employ a VPN

There are several ways how to make your online time more private – you can access an incognito tab. However, there is no secret that even in this mode, you are tracked for advertising purposes. There is a way to add an extra layer of protection and create a completely anonymous web browsing practice with the help of Private Internet Access VPN. This software reroutes traffic through different servers, thus leaving your IP address and geolocation in disguise. Besides, it is based on a strict no-log policy, meaning that no data will be recorded, leaked, and available for both first and third parties. The combination of a secure web browser and Private Internet Access VPN will let you browse the Internet without a feeling of being spied or targeted by criminals. 

No backups? No problem. Use a data recovery tool

If you wonder how data loss can occur, you should not look any further for answers – human errors, malware attacks, hardware failures, power cuts, natural disasters, or even simple negligence. In some cases, lost files are extremely important, and many straight out panic when such an unfortunate course of events happen. Due to this, you should always ensure that you prepare proper data backups on a regular basis.

If you were caught by surprise and did not have any backups to restore your files from, not everything is lost. Data Recovery Pro is one of the leading file recovery solutions you can find on the market – it is likely to restore even lost emails or data located on an external device.
