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.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.

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.
3. From the list, find the entry of the suspicious program.
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.

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.
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.

macOS:

1. From the menu bar, select Go > Applications.
2. In the Applications folder, look for all related entries.
3. Click on the app and drag it to Trash (or right-click and pick Move to Trash)

3. In the Application Support folder, look for any dubious entries and then delete them.
