Pushmenews.com POP-UP Ads

What is pushmenews[.].com?

Once visited, pushmenews[.]com causes redirects to other untrustworthy websites or displays dubious content. This is a rogue web page and is very similar to others of this type such as evengsitolightont[.]info, orboreshitert[.]info, and paymentnotifyfriends[.]info.

In most cases, these pages are opened by potentially unwanted apps (PUAs) that people have installed on their browsers (i.e., users do not open them intentionally). Additionally, many PUAs deliver intrusive advertisements and monitor browsing activity.

When the installed PUA opens pushmenews[.]com, it then opens about 2-3 other dubious websites. Rather than opening these sites, however, it might display deceptive, untrustworthy content. This depends on the visitor's location. Note, pushmenews[.]com might lead to malicious websites.

Furthermore, many unwanted apps of this type feed users with coupons, banners, surveys, pop-up ads, and other intrusive ads. Typically, they conceal underlying content of visited websites, and thus people who click them are redirected to potentially malicious pages. The ads sometimes cause download and installation of other PUAs when they run malicious scripts.

Once installed, many PUAs regularly collect user-system information and browsing-related details such as IP addresses, geolocations, entered search queries, URLs of visited websites, etc.

Developers send the information to third parties (potentially, cyber criminals) who misuse it to generate revenue. Note, some of these apps might be designed to gather private details. To avoid problems with privacy, browsing safety, and so on, we recommend that you uninstall all PUAs immediately.

Potentially unwanted apps are often virtually identical. Their developers promote them as tools that will provide 'useful features', however, these apps deliver no real value and are designed only to generate revenue for the developers/other parties. PUAs only cause problems and should be removed.

How did adware install on my computer?

Some potentially unwanted apps can be downloaded from their websites, however, they are often installed without users' knowledge. Typically, this happens through intrusive ads or when PUAs are bundled into other download/installation set-ups. Developers bundle apps into set-ups to trick people into downloading/installing potentially unwanted apps with regular software.

Developers do not properly disclose information about bundled/included apps - they hide the details in "Custom", "Advanced" and other options or settings of the set-ups. Therefore, unwanted downloads and installations happen when users fail to check the aforementioned set-ups or click dubious ads.

How to avoid installation of potentially unwanted applications?

To avoid unwanted downloads/installations, download all software from official websites (and use direct download links). Sources such as Peer-to-Peer networks (torrent clients, eMule etc.), untrustworthy, unofficial websites, third party downloaders and so on, should not be trusted.

It is important to check all available settings and options such as "Custom", "Advanced" of the software setup. Look out for checkboxes that are ticked by default and dismiss/deselect offers to download or install unwanted apps. Be wary of intrusive ads.

Once clicked, they often redirect users to untrustworthy, potentially malicious websites such as gambling, adult dating, pornography, and other dubious pages of this kind. If redirects to dubious pages happen often or unwanted ads appear regularly, check installed extensions, plug-ins, and add-ons on the browser and remove/uninstall any suspicious entries.

The same should be applied to programs of this kind installed on the operating system. If your computer is already infected with rogue applications, we recommend running a scan with Combo Cleaner Antivirus for Windows to automatically eliminate them.

How to avoid browser notification spam?

Internet users should be very skeptical when being asked to allow notifications. While this is a useful feature that allows you to receive timely news from websites you like, deceptive marketers frequently abuse it.

Only allow notifications from websites that you fully trust. For added security - use an anti-malware application with a real-time web browsing monitor to block shady websites that tries to trick you into allowing spam notifications. We recommend using Combo Cleaner Antivirus for Windows.
