What is See-what-is-buzzing.com ads?

See-what-is-buzzing.com does not have a video to play or any content to explore

See-what-is-buzzing.comSee-what-is-buzzing.com asks to press the "Allow" button in order to see a video

See-what-is-buzzing.com is a bogus website that tries to trick people into allowing push notifications. It makes people think that if they press the “Allow” button they will be able to view a video. In reality, there is no video to watch and no other content to explore. People start getting spammed with annoying pop-up ads that sometimes appear even when the browser is closed.

Such pages are generated on a massive scale and new ones appear every day. We previously wrote about sites like Erybelfaste.com, Kexvideo.ru, and Worldcoolfeed.com. They were all created for the purpose of generating revenue with pay-per-click advertising. If they are spread on the Internet successfully, they can make quite a lot of profits for crooks.

You should never trust a page that is asking to turn on push notifications in order for you to receive something. Push notifications are meant to provide users with the latest news, and updates so if it does not seem like a page that could provide what you want, it is better to click the “Block” button or ignore the browser prompt.

NAME See-what-is-buzzing.com
TYPE Push notification spam; adware
SYMTPOMS Intrusive pop-up ads start appearing in the corner of the screen
DISTRIBUTION Shady websites, misleading advertisements, bundled software
DANGERS The website could be using unsafe advertising networks that place ads leading to dangerous pages where people can get tricked into providing their personal information or installing PUPs and malware
ELIMINATION Go to your browser settings and disable push notifications
FURTHER STEPS Use a repair tool FortectIntego to fix any remaining damage and clear your browsers

Distribution methods

Pages like See-what-is-buzzing.com often appear when users are browsing through sites that engage in illegal activities. For example, illegal streaming platforms are full of deceptive ads and sneaky redirects because they are unregulated. Even though Google tries to get rid of fake “Download” and “Play” buttons, they still exist.

Try to avoid watching movies and TV shows illegally, as sites that provide these services are breeding grounds for all types of malware and adware.[1] Nowadays, there are plenty of ways to receive entertainment at an affordable price. Streaming services, like Netflix, and Hulu require a small monthly subscription fee to be able to watch an unlimited amount of movies.

However, such pages can also appear seemingly out of nowhere for different reasons. You might be infected by adware that causes redirects, pop-ups, banners, and an overall increase in commercial content. Think if you have recently installed any programs from freeware[2] distribution platforms.

If you have, there is a big chance that adware sneaked into your system during the installation process. To prevent this from happening, always choose the “Custom” or “Advanced” installation method, read the Privacy Policy, and Terms of Use. The most important thing is to check the file list and untick the boxes next to any unnecessary programs.

Delete cookies and cache from your browsers

After you successfully disable the pop-ups, you need to take care of your browsers separately. With the help of cookies,[3] shady websites you visit can collect data about your browsing activities. That includes your IP address, websites you visit, links you click on, and purchases you make online.

Websites and web-based apps normally use them to personalize the user experience – show relevant results, and suggestions. However, fraudsters can sell them to unsafe advertising networks and other third parties. If a web page does not take security seriously, cookies can also get hijacked and used for malicious purposes.

The easiest way to get rid of cookies and cache is by using a maintenance tool like FortectIntego. It can do everything with a click of a button automatically so you do not have to worry about it. Besides, this powerful software can fix various system errors, corrupted files, and registry issues which is especially helpful after a virus infection.

Remove potentially unwanted applications

If none of the above methods worked and you still experience symptoms like an increased amount of commercial content, banners, surveys, redirects you might have adware hiding in your system. These programs often infiltrate the systems as bundled software from freeware distribution sites.

Adware can act in the background of your machine – generate ads and collect revenue for it. Freeware distribution sites include them in the installers so their activity is profitable. However, manual removal of PUAs[4] can get tricky if you do not have experience. Developers often disguise PUAs as handy tools, like antivirus software, system optimizers, or media players. You might not even suspect which program is actually causing the unwanted behavior.

You should deploy SpyHunter 5Combo Cleaner or Malwarebytes professional security software that will perform a full system scan and eliminate any PUPs automatically. They can also prevent such infections in the future by warning you about a suspicious download. If you still prefer doing it yourself, here are step-by-step instructions for Windows and macOS:

  1. Enter Control Panel into Windows search box and hit Enter or click on the search result.
  2. Under Programs, select Uninstall a program.Uninstall from Windows 1

  4. Right-click on the application and select Uninstall.
  5. If User Account Control shows up, click Yes.
  6. Wait till uninstallation process is complete and click OK.Uninstall from Windows 2

Windows 7/XP:

  1. Click on Windows Start > Control Panel located on the right pane (if you are Windows XP user, click on Add/Remove Programs).
  2. In Control Panel, select Programs > Uninstall a program.Uninstall from Windows 7/XP
  3. Pick the unwanted application by clicking on it once.
  4. At the top, click Uninstall/Change.
  5. In the confirmation prompt, pick Yes.
  6. Click OK once the removal process is finished.

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.
