Pages like news-bobicu[.]cc in general

In conclusion, news-bobicu[.]cc cannot be trusted: this website is designed to display deceptive content (to trick visitors into agreeing to receive its notifications) and promote other shady websites. There is a great deal of websites of this type on the Internet and most of them are pretty similar.

How did adware install on my computer?

Pretty often, users download and install potentially unwanted applications together with free programs - it is common for applications of this kind to be bundled with those programs. Users cause unwanted downloads or installations when they do not deselect optional offers, which can be done before finishing downloads or installations of free programs.

Typically, downloaders and installers used to distribute PUAs have "Advanced", "Custom", or other settings, or ticked checkboxes. Those settings can be used to deselect offered potentially unwanted applications. In some cases, users cause unwanted downloads and installations by clicking on deceptive ads designed to run certain scripts.

How to avoid installation of potentially unwanted applications?

It is recommended to check downloaders and installers for settings like "Custom", "Advanced", "Manual", and ticked checkboxes. Usually, downloaders, installers that have those settings are used to distribute potentially unwanted applications. Included applications can be opted out before finishing downloads, installations.

Programs (and files) should be downloaded from legitimate websites and through direct download links. Other sources can be used to distribute unwanted, potentially malicious programs. Examples of unreliable sources are third-party downloaders, unofficial pages, Peer-to-Peer networks (e.g., torrent clients, eMule). Third-party installers should not be used too.

Additionally, it is recommended not to click advertisements displayed on shady pages. Those ads promote untrustworthy websites or cause unwanted downloads, installations. Unwanted, unknown, or suspicious extensions, add-ons, or plug-ins installed on a browser (or programs of this kind installed on the operating system) should be removed. If your computer is already infected with rogue applications, we recommend running a scan with Combo Cleaner Antivirus for Windows to automatically eliminate them.
