What is News-wuzima.cc ads?

News-wuzima.cc generates revenue with push notifications using deceptive tactics

News-wuzima.ccPop-up ads can contain links that lead to dangerous pages

News-wuzima.cc is a fraudulent website set up by crooks to generate revenue through pay-per-click advertising. The site uses social engineering techniques[1] to trick users into subscribing to push notifications, prompting them to click the “Allow” button to confirm they are human. Unfortunately, doing so results in annoying pop-up advertisements that persist even after the browser is closed.

Furthermore, the perpetrators may use rogue advertising networks[2] to display ads that direct users to dangerous websites. Individuals may unknowingly disclose sensitive information or unintentionally download PUPs (potentially unwanted programs)[3] and even malware by clicking on the provided links. Some users have reported seeing advertisements for adult content, fake antivirus software, software deals, surveys, and freebies.

Distribution methods

Pages like News-wuzima.cc typically do not appear in search engine results, instead remaining hidden on shady pages with little regulation. Illegal streaming websites, for example, are riddled with deceptive advertisements and shady redirects. Such websites may also have fake “Download” and “Play” buttons that open new tabs.

It is best to only visit well-known and trustworthy websites. Avoid clicking on random links and advertisements, even if they appear to endorse legitimate products or services. Instead, use legitimate streaming services such as Netflix or Hulu. Users can watch a large amount of content on these platforms for a small monthly subscription fee.

Protect your privacy

When browsing the internet, nearly every website you encounter will prompt you to “Allow” cookies. These small data files can keep track of a variety of things, including your IP address, geolocation, browsing history, links clicked, and online purchases. Cookies, in general, help websites personalize the user experience.

Unfortunately, malicious actors can profit from this information. Cookies can be sold to ad networks or other third-party companies. Cookies can be hijacked and used for malicious purposes if the websites you visit lack strong security measures. As a result, it is critical to clear your browser's cache and cookies on a regular basis.

There are maintenance tools, such as FortectIntego, that can perform this task automatically with a single click. This tool can also repair system damage caused by viruses, such as errors, corrupted files, BSODs, and registry problems, making it especially useful following a malware infection.

Adware removal

Even after you disable push notifications, your system may still be infected with adware. If you are experiencing an influx of commercial content such as pop-ups, redirects, surveys, and banners, it is best to scan your device with professional security tools such as SpyHunter 5Combo Cleaner or Malwarebytes.

Antivirus software can detect and remove suspicious processes on your computer, as well as associated files. Furthermore, it can deter future infections by alerting you to potential threats during downloads. While it is possible to remove programs manually, it can be difficult to identify PUPs because they frequently masquerade as “useful” everyday tools such as antivirus software, system optimizers, or media players.

Besides, manual removal can sometimes result in a renewal of the infection, as people fail to eliminate all the related files and entries. Otherwise, if you want to perform manual removal, you can follow the instructions posted below for Windows and Mac systems:

How to prevent from getting adware

Choose a proper web browser and improve your safety with a VPN tool

Online spying has got momentum in recent years and people are getting more and more interested in how to protect their privacy online. One of the basic means to add a layer of security – choose the most private and secure web browser. Although web browsers can't grant full privacy protection and security, some of them are much better at sandboxing, HTTPS upgrading, active content blocking, tracking blocking, phishing protection, and similar privacy-oriented features. However, if you want true anonymity, we suggest you employ a powerful Private Internet Access VPN – it can encrypt all the traffic that comes and goes out of your computer, preventing tracking completely.

 

Lost your files? Use data recovery software

While some files located on any computer are replaceable or useless, others can be extremely valuable. Family photos, work documents, school projects – these are types of files that we don't want to lose. Unfortunately, there are many ways how unexpected data loss can occur: power cuts, Blue Screen of Death errors, hardware failures, crypto-malware attack, or even accidental deletion.

To ensure that all the files remain intact, you should prepare regular data backups. You can choose cloud-based or physical copies you could restore from later in case of a disaster. If your backups were lost as well or you never bothered to prepare any, Data Recovery Pro can be your only hope to retrieve your invaluable files.
