Is Yourniceposts.com ads dangerous?
From our report of Sep 2020 · not reviewed since
Yourniceposts.com is a suspicious website that prompts users to subscribe for intrusive ads
Yourniceposts.com is a website that seemingly specializes in breaking news in fiances, tech, and entertainment.
However, users might also encounter the site at any time while browsing the web on Google Chrome, Mozilla Firefox, Safari, or another web browser - it will immediately imply that notifications need to be enabled in order for the web content to be available for viewing.
Those who press "Allow" are then forced to view intrusive Yourniceposts.com ads that popup at any time when then a computer and a portable device (Android, iPhone) are operational.
Yourniceposts.com pop-ups and notifications can be avoided relatively easily. Nonetheless, if you noticed frequent redirects to suspicious websites and an increased amount of advertising on during your web browsing sessions, there might be adware installed on your system - it can display intrusive ads on various sites and track our online behavior for marketing purposes.
The so-called Yourniceposts.com virus abuses a legitimate web browser feature for push notifications - many websites employ it in order to deliver relevant information from within site. Nonetheless, cybercriminals saw potential in this somewhat useful function and began employing social engineering to make users subscribe for notifications.
Upon Yourniceposts.com entry, users are shown a falsified message, which claims that the contents of the site can only be accessed if the "Allow" button is clicked. There are various tricks that the site authors use (for example, they need to "confirm" that they are not a "robot" - a common verification technique used on legitimate sites, which makes it more believable for inexperienced users).
However, the most common message that users encounter after accessing Yourniceposts.com would read as follows:
While the first part of the message does indeed informs about push notifications, the second part is entirely fake, as no video is there to be watched, and users will be simply returned to the same page, even if they click "Block." As evident, to avoid dealing with Yourniceposts.com removal, you should not allow notifications in the first place.
Such a tactic is employed by thousands of other scam websites, including Edundedpra.club, Nbryb.com, Pushails.com, Etnessbr.pro, and many others. Due to suspicious activity, these sites are often terminated as soon as service providers are informed about the dubious activities, although this might not happen for a while.
Also, phishing sites that abuse push notifications are created at a massive scale, so shutting them down straight away is a true cybersecurity challenge.
The main goal of Yourniceposts.com and similar sites is to ensure that users are presented with third-party ads - this process is typically monetized on a pay-per-click basis.
Since the source of such notifications uses dubious tactics, the promoted content by it is very often malicious as well - you might be presented with fake claims about a quick way to earn money fast, or that your computer is infected with viruses and special applications should be downloaded to eliminate it.
In other words, the propagation of falsified claims might increase the chance of malware infection, compromising personal and computer safety in the process.
While not clicking on ads is a good point to start, you should also remember to remove Yourniceposts.com site notifications as well. Since many users are unaware that the popups are coming via the enabled site settings, they are also often baffled about the termination of these unwanted ads. We provide details on how to stop notifications via the browser settings in the bottom section of this post.
Nonetheless, you should also check the machine for malware and other PUPs - you can either do it manually as per guidelines below or by scanning the machine with anti-malware software such as . After that, you could also check for system integrity issues that can be caused by a computer infection.

Watch out of deception online - it can land you in trouble otherwise
While the internet is now a much safer place than it used to be 20 years ago thanks to improved anti-malware programs, content monitoring, and awareness, it does not mean that browsing the web is completely safe.
There are several methods of how malicious actors manage to abuse various components and infrastructure of the internet in order to infect users with malware or make them spend money on useless services or applications. For example, JavaScript is known to be abused to look for software vulnerabilities on the system, and then employ exploit kits to install malicious software on the system, e.g., ransomware such as Kasp.
Sophisticated attack vectors such as exploit kits are not the only ways how cybercriminals reach their goals. Since there are billions of users who visit the world wide web daily, there are bound to be those that are not aware of online scams and phishing that is relatively prevalent.
For example, the push notification feature is a built-in browser component that serves some bad websites as a way to inject users' browsers with ads.
Thus, you should keep in mind that suspicious notifications promising you to play a video or uncover other underlying content are lies - do not press allow, or you will be bombarded with unwanted popups on your screen.

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 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
- 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, can be your only hope to retrieve your invaluable files.
Questions about Yourniceposts.com ads
yourniceposts.com keeps sending notifications. Is it a virus?
No. Notifications from yourniceposts.com come from a permission stored in the browser, not from a program installed in Windows. Someone clicked Allow on a prompt from that site, usually without realising what it meant, and the site now sends ads through the browser's notification system.
Antivirus scans often find nothing because there is nothing to find on the disk. Removing yourniceposts.com from the browser's list of allowed sites stops the messages for good. A scan is still useful if you clicked a notification and downloaded or ran something from the page it opened, because those downloads can be unwanted programs.
The yourniceposts.com notification said my PC is infected. Is it true?
No. Notifications from yourniceposts.com are adverts written to look like system messages. A website cannot scan your files, so it has no way to know whether your PC is infected; it shows the same warning to everyone who allowed its notifications. Real Windows Security messages name Windows Security in the bottom line, not a browser and a website.
If you want to be sure, open Windows Security from the Start menu and run a quick scan there. Then remove yourniceposts.com from the browser's notification settings so the fake warnings stop arriving. Do not call any number or buy anything the notification or its page suggests.
Why does Yourniceposts.com show me ads?
Because that is its whole purpose. Yourniceposts.com is a push-notification spam site, and its operators are paid for every ad it displays and every click it gets. In this case the ads take the form of desktop notifications.
They are chosen by ad networks that accept almost any advertiser, which is why so many look like warnings or prizes. The ads are not a sign that your PC is broken or infected with something worse; they are a sign that something on it, or in the browser, has permission to advertise. Removing that permission or program stops them.
Is yourniceposts.com safe to visit?
No. The site yourniceposts.com exists to push visitors towards ads, and the pages it leads to include fake virus warnings, fake updates, prize scams and notification prompts. Visiting it once does not infect an up-to-date PC, but anything you click or download there is a gamble.
Do not enter personal details, do not allow notifications and do not call phone numbers it shows. If it opens by itself, close the tab and check the browser's extensions and notification permissions. Blocking the single domain helps little, because the operators register new names regularly.
Which browser is sending the yourniceposts.com notifications?
Each notification shows the name of the browser and the site in its small print. In the cases we saw, the messages from yourniceposts.com came through Chrome, Edge and Firefox. Permissions are stored per browser and per profile, so removing the site in one browser does not affect another.
If you use several Chrome or Edge profiles, check each one. If you sync the browser with an account, remove the permission while signed in, otherwise another computer may still hold it and keep receiving the same messages.
How do I know the ads come from Yourniceposts.com?
Look for notifications from yourniceposts.com. That is the trace Yourniceposts.com leaves, and it shows up as desktop notifications. Ads that appear on every site, including ones that never carried ads before, point to something on your PC or in the browser rather than to the sites themselves.
A quick test is a private window, where extensions are off by default: if the ads disappear there, an extension is responsible. If they appear even with the browser closed, the source is a notification permission or a program in Windows.
I clicked on one of the ads. Am I infected?
Probably not. Clicking an ad usually only opens a page, and a page cannot install programs on an up-to-date Windows PC without your help.
You are at risk only if you then downloaded and ran a file, allowed notifications, entered card or login details, or called a phone number shown on the page. Delete any download and run a full and offline scan.
Change passwords you typed, from a clean device. Call your bank if you gave card details. If you called a number or allowed remote access, see the next question.
An ad showed a phone number and I called it. What now?
The number belongs to scammers, not to Microsoft or an antivirus company. If you only talked, hang up and do not call back. If you let them connect to the PC, disconnect it from the internet, uninstall the remote access program they used, such as AnyDesk, TeamViewer, ScreenConnect or UltraViewer, and run a full and offline scan.
If you paid or gave bank details, call your bank at once on the number printed on your card. Change any passwords you typed while they were connected, and report the call.
Why didn't my antivirus catch Yourniceposts.com?
Many security products do not block adware or notification sites by default, because users often agreed to them, even through a misleading prompt. Notification spam installs nothing at all, so there is no file to detect.
In Windows 11 you can make Microsoft Defender block potentially unwanted apps: open Windows Security > App & browser control > Reputation-based protection settings and turn on Potentially unwanted app blocking. If notifications caused the pop-ups, no scanner will report them; the fix is in the browser's site settings.
Will Fortect remove Yourniceposts.com?
No program removes Yourniceposts.com itself, because there is nothing on the PC to remove: the notifications come through a permission saved in the browser, and only the browser's settings take it away, as the steps above show.
What Fortect can do is check the rest of Windows. Its free scan looks for malware, unwanted programs and damaged system files, which is useful if you clicked the ads, downloaded something from the pages they opened, or are not sure what else changed on the PC.
If the scan finds nothing and the notifications stopped after you removed the permission, this problem is solved. Use Microsoft Defender as a second opinion whenever you have downloaded files from pages like these.
