Is Total Nice Feed ads dangerous?
From our report of Nov 2021 · not reviewed since
Total Nice Feed starts spamming users with annoying push notifications after they click "Allow"
Total Nice Feed is a bogus website that appears when users are browsing through shady pages or they have adware installed in their system.
The page asks users to click the "Allow" button to continue watching something, so we can assume that this site is most likely promoted on illegal streaming platforms.
After people grant permission for the page to send push notifications, ads start appearing in the corner of the screen, sometimes even when the browser is closed. The notification prompts can come from both - legitimate and shady sources, so it is important to be careful and try not to interact with them until you remove them.
Ads that you see may contain controversial images, messages that make you want to investigate and click on them. They might offer amazing deals and big discounts but you have to fight the temptation as ads that claim to sell something extraordinary are most likely fake and lead to dangerous sites.
The Internet is still full of scam sites that use social engineering techniques, like fake giveaways, software updates, surveys, virus infection warnings to get your personal information or trick you into downloading PUPs (potentially unwanted programs) or malware.
Because push notifications are based on a subscription model, only users themselves can enable and disable them. So the appearance of them is most of the time users' own fault.
People rush, do not read privacy policies, click on random buttons just to get what they want faster. Even though many say they care deeply about their online security and privacy, only a few actually take precautionary steps to preserve it.

How Total Nice Feed ads got on your PC
From our report of Nov 2021 · not reviewed since
It is very rare for users to find sites like Total Nice Feed in the search results.
Most of the time they get redirected to them after they click on a deceptive ad on a shady site. For example, illegal streaming platforms are full of fake "Download" and "Play" buttons. Even though Google said it would get rid of them, they still exist and fool users every day.
It is easy to get tricked by the scheme if you are looking for a movie or TV show to watch. You click on a button to play it and a new tab opens saying you need to press one button to watch it. Many people may not even realize that it is a completely separate page that is unrelated to the one they were previously on.
Another way you could have encountered this bogus page is because of adware. It is a type of PUA that can generate commercial content like pop-ups, banners, surveys, and redirects on your machine. The same as with the website, you could have installed it by accident while browsing through pages you should not, or downloading software from freeware sites.
Freeware distributors often include additional programs in the installers and do not disclose this information. Because most people find the installation process boring, they skip through all the steps and do not notice the PUPs they install together with the intended software.
What we suggest you do during the process is choosing the "Custom" or "Advanced" installation method, reading the privacy policy and terms of use to find out how your data is going to be used and what the app will be able to perform on your system.
The most crucial part is to uncheck the boxes next to any files that look suspicious to prevent them from installing on your machine.
How to remove Total Nice Feed ads
How to remove Total Nice Feed
Uninstall first, then remove what stays behind, so the ads do not come back after a restart.
Step 1: Uninstall Total Nice Feed
Open Settings > Apps > Installed apps in Windows 11, or Settings > Apps > Apps & features in Windows 10.
Sort the list by install date and find Total Nice Feed, then choose Uninstall from the three-dot menu next to it (in Windows 10, click the entry and then Uninstall).
Remove anything else installed on the same day that you do not recognise, because such programs usually arrive together in one installer. If the uninstaller opens a browser page with an offer or a survey, close it: the program is removed either way.

Step 2: Remove it from startup
Whatever Total Nice Feed installed usually starts with Windows.
Open Task Manager with Ctrl + Shift + Esc, go to Startup apps in Windows 11 or the Startup tab in Windows 10, and disable what you do not know, starting with entries that have an empty Publisher column.
Open file location on the right-click menu shows the file, which helps you decide and tells you what to delete later. Disabling is safe: if something you need stops working, switch it back on.

Step 3: Delete the folders left behind
What the uninstaller leaves behind is usually in the user folders. Open File Explorer, switch on View > Show > Hidden items (in Windows 10 View > Hidden items), and go through
%LocalAppData%,%AppData%, %ProgramData% and the two Program Files folders.Sort by Date modified and delete folders that appeared together with the problem and belong to no program you use. Folders with random names that hold
.exe,.dll, .js or .ps1 files are the strongest sign.Full procedure with screenshots: Remove what malware leaves behind in Windows
Step 4: Reset the browser
Finish the browser part with a reset, which puts the search engine, start page, new tab page and site permissions back to their defaults and switches extensions off. Chrome: Settings > Reset settings > Restore settings to their original defaults.
Edge: Settings > Reset settings. Firefox: Help > More troubleshooting information > Refresh Firefox, which also removes its extensions. Your bookmarks and saved passwords are kept, and the menus are the same on Windows 11 and Windows 10.
Chrome on Windows 11: Settings > Reset settings. Full procedure with screenshots: Reset a browser and fix a hijacked search engine
Step 5: Scan the PC, then run the offline scan
Open Windows Security > Virus & threat protection > Scan options, run a Full scan and remove everything it finds. Then select Microsoft Defender Antivirus (offline scan) and click Scan now: the PC restarts and scans before Windows loads, which finds files that hide while Windows runs.
Save your work first, because the offline scan takes about 15 minutes. Both scans are built into Windows 11 and Windows 10, and a second scanner from another vendor is a useful extra opinion.

Do not let government spy on you
The government has many issues in regards to tracking users' data and spying on citizens, so you should take this into consideration and learn more about shady information gathering practices.
Avoid any unwanted government tracking or spying by going totally anonymous on the internet.
You can choose a different location when you go online and access any material you want without particular content restrictions. You can easily enjoy internet connection without any risks of being hacked by using VPN.
Control the information that can be accessed by government any other unwanted party and surf online without being spied on. Even if you are not involved in illegal activities or trust your selection of services, platforms, be suspicious for your own security and take precautionary measures by using the VPN service.
Backup files for the later use, in case of the malware attack
Computer users can suffer from data losses due to cyber infections or their own faulty doings.
Ransomware can encrypt and hold files hostage, while unforeseen power cuts might cause a loss of important documents. If you have proper up-to-date backups, you can easily recover after such an incident and get back to work. It is also equally important to update backups on a regular basis so that the newest information remains intact - you can set this process to be performed automatically.
When you have the previous version of every important document or project you can avoid frustration and breakdowns. It comes in handy when malware strikes out of nowhere. Use for the data restoration process.

Scan the machine for adware
Once you block the notifications, there is still a chance that there is adware hiding in your system.
You might still be experiencing an increased amount of commercial content like surveys, banners. You might get redirected automatically by your browser to suspicious pages. If you have any of these symptoms, we strongly suggest deploying professional security tools like or to scan your machine.
They can detect suspicious processes happening in your machine and eliminate all the files causing it. What is more, it can prevent such infections in the future by warning you about a dangerous download.

Questions about Total Nice Feed ads
Can I safely uninstall Total Nice Feed?
If you did not install Total Nice Feed yourself and it is not part of your hardware or a program you rely on, yes. Uninstalling an unwanted program does not harm Windows.
Before you do, search the exact name and publisher to be sure it is not a driver tool, a printer utility or a game launcher with an odd name. Then remove it from Settings, Apps, Installed apps.
Ignore any offers or warnings in its uninstaller about losing protection or performance. Afterwards check Startup apps and your browsers for leftovers, and restart once to confirm that it does not reinstall itself.
Total Nice Feed will not uninstall. What can I do?
First restart the PC and try again, because the program may have been running and locked its own files. If the uninstaller is missing or fails, start Windows in Safe Mode, where most third-party programs do not start, and remove Total Nice Feed from Installed apps there.
If it still refuses, delete its startup entry and its scheduled task, restart, and try once more. A program that actively prevents removal is behaving like malware, so finish with a Microsoft Defender offline scan. Avoid third-party uninstallers offered on search ads; several of them are unwanted programs themselves.
Is uninstalling Total Nice Feed enough?
Often, but not always. Uninstalling Total Nice Feed through Settings > Apps > Installed apps removes the main part. Ad-supported programs, however, frequently arrive together with others from the same installer, and some leave a scheduled task or a browser extension behind.
After uninstalling, sort the list of installed apps by date and look at what else appeared that day, check Task Manager > Startup apps, and open the extension page in every browser. A Microsoft Defender full scan at the end catches leftover files.
Why is my browser so slow since the ads started?
Each page now does extra work. An adware extension reads the page, decides where to put ads, loads them from ad servers and reports your visit, and that happens on every tab. Ad-supported programs add their own background activity.
Removing the extension or program usually makes the browser fast again at once. If it stays slow, open the browser's own task manager with Shift+Esc in Chrome or Edge and look for extensions using a lot of memory or processor time.
My scan found nothing, but the ads continue. Why?
Because the source may not be a file a scanner looks for. Browser notifications are a permission stored in the browser, and many adware extensions are not flagged because they come from an official store.
Some ad-supported programs are only reported if you enable detection of potentially unwanted apps. So a clean scan does not mean the job is done. Check each browser's notification permissions and extension list by hand, and turn on Potentially unwanted app blocking in Windows Security before scanning again.
Can an adware pop-up infect my PC just by appearing?
No. A pop-up, a notification or a new tab is only a web page or a message. It cannot run programs on Windows by itself, provided the browser and Windows are up to date. Infection needs a step from you:
- running a downloaded file
- installing an extension
- giving a stranger remote access
That is why scam pages work so hard to make you click. Close such pages with the tab's X or by closing the browser, not with buttons inside the page, which may start a download.
I let a "support technician" from an ad connect to my PC. What should I do?
Act quickly but calmly. Disconnect the PC from the internet first, so the connection ends. Uninstall the remote access tool they asked you to install and check Installed apps for anything else added during the call.
Run a Microsoft Defender full scan and offline scan. From another device, change your e-mail and banking passwords and sign out of all sessions.
If you paid by card, bank transfer or gift card, contact your bank or the card issuer immediately, and report the scam to the police. Do not answer if they call back.
Did Total Nice Feed collect my data?
Adware typically collects what it needs to choose ads:
- the sites you visit
- search terms
- approximate location
- browser and system details
Extensions with permission to read and change data on all websites can technically see everything on those pages, including forms. That is a privacy problem rather than proof of theft.
If you typed card details or passwords while it was active, changing the most important passwords is a reasonable precaution. Clearing cookies after removal ends the tracking sessions it may have started.
Will Fortect remove Total Nice Feed?
Fortect scans Windows for malware and unwanted programs and repairs the system files and settings they change, and its free scan shows what it finds on your PC before you decide anything.
For Total Nice Feed, follow the plan above as well: the browser steps take back permissions and settings that no scanner treats as a threat, and uninstalling the program that brought it removes the source.
Run Microsoft Defender's full scan and, if anything was found, its offline scan as a second opinion. If the symptoms are gone after the plan and both scans are clean, there is nothing more to do.
