Sannounc.work claims to provide the latest news about sport via push notifications

Sannounc.workSannounc.work spams users with intrusive pop-ups ads

Sannounc.work is a deceptive site that tries to trick people into subscribing to push notifications under false pretenses. The page states that if you click the “Allow” button, you will get the latest sports updates from around the world. In reality, users start getting spammed with annoying pop-ups that appear in the corner of the screen, sometimes even when the browser is closed.

The website clearly targets sports fans and is likely spread through shady advertising networks. If you have landed on this site, do not allow it to send you push notifications because they can lead to dangerous websites. If you already have done it, do not worry. We will help you disable them in this guide.

The reason why you should not want pop-ups from this site is that they can contain links leading to sites created by fraudsters that want to lure out your personal information or trick you into downloading PUPs (potentially unwanted programs)[1] and malware. This can result in monetary losses, identity theft, or serious system damage.

SYMPTOMS Pop up ads start appearing in the corner of the screen when users click the “Allow” button
DISTRIBUTION Shady websites; deceptive ads; freeware installations
DANGERS Pop-ups can lure users into dangerous websites that may try to extract users' personal information or try to trick them into downloading PUPs and malware
ELIMINATION DIsable push notifications in the browser settings
FURTHER STEPS Use a maintenance tool like FortectIntego to clear cookies and cache and optimize the machine

Push notification spam pages like Sannounc.work, News-hadeha.cc, Yourcoolfeed.com, and Weightlosshouse1.xyz generate revenue from PPC advertising.[2] The developers do not care about user privacy or security so they do not filter which ads can show up on your screen. Because of this, users can be vulnerable to various social engineering techniques[3] used by crooks.

There are many different pages that you can end up on if you click on links embedded in the pop-ups, but the most common scams that you may see are fake software updates, giveaways, surveys, virus infection warnings. Because usually push notifications do not start showing up immediately, people can easily believe a pop-up with a message stating that their system is infected.

Because push notifications start coming unexpectedly and seemingly out of nowhere, many think that they have been infected with a virus. Even though they are not as dangerous as many other threats, you can now see that this should not be taken lightly, especially if this is happening on your family computer that your children or elders use. Less IT-savvy individuals are the main targets of these online scams.

Make sure there are no PUAs hiding in your machine

Pages like this can rarely be found in the search results, most of the time people get directed to them by other shady sites they were surfing through previously. Usually, this includes websites that engage in illegal activities as they are unregulated and full of deceptive ads and sneaky redirects.

More commonly people get redirected to spam pages by adware that stays hidden in the user's machine and performs tasks in the background. If you disabled pop-ups but still experience an increased amount of commercial content like banners, surveys or get redirected to questionable pages, that might be a symptom of an adware infection.

People install such PUPs from freeware distribution sites. They include additional programs in the installers and rarely disclose it clearly on the site, so if people rush through the installation process, they do not notice those programs. There is also a possibility that the app was disguised as a “handy” program that users installed themselves.

Because of these widely used techniques, when installing software, you should always choose the “Custom” or “Advanced” installation method, read the Terms of Use and Privacy Policy to find out what the app will be able to do on your device and what data it will collect. Even though it is a lengthy process it is worth it if you avoid such infections in the future. The most important step is to check the file list and untick the boxes next to files that seem unrelated.

It is unknown which particular app could be causing unwanted symptoms, so removing adware can be difficult if you do not have experience. We suggest using trusted professional security tools SpyHunter 5Combo Cleaner or Malwarebytes to scan your machine automatically. It should detect most suspicious apps and processes running in your system and remove them successfully. Otherwise, you can remove the program manually:

How to prevent from getting adware

Access your website securely from any location

When you work on the domain, site, blog, or different project that requires constant management, content creation, or coding, you may need to connect to the server and content management service more often. The best solution for creating a tighter network could be a dedicated/fixed IP address.

If you make your IP address static and set to your device, you can connect to the CMS from any location and do not create any additional issues for the server or network manager that needs to monitor connections and activities. VPN software providers like Private Internet Access can help you with such settings and offer the option to control the online reputation and manage projects easily from any part of the world.

 

Recover files after data-affecting malware attacks

While much of the data can be accidentally deleted due to various reasons, malware is one of the main culprits that can cause loss of pictures, documents, videos, and other important files. More serious malware infections lead to significant data loss when your documents, system files, and images get encrypted. In particular, ransomware is is a type of malware that focuses on such functions, so your files become useless without an ability to access them.

Even though there is little to no possibility to recover after file-locking threats, some applications have features for data recovery in the system. In some cases, Data Recovery Pro can also help to recover at least some portion of your data after data-locking virus infection or general cyber infection.
