How to remove software force-opening the news-vocice.cc website?

What is the news-vocice[.]cc site?

News-vocice[.]cc is a rogue website sharing many similarities with totaltopfeed.com, uniqdatacaptcha.top, nakedstreaming.com, and thousands of others. It is designed to present visitors with dubious content and/or redirect them to various sites (likely unreliable or malicious ones).

Rogue pages are seldom accessed intentionally. Most users enter such websites via redirects caused by untrustworthy sites, intrusive adverts, or installed PUAs (Potentially Unwanted Applications). This software can infiltrate systems without explicit user permission.

News-vocice[.]cc in detail

The behavior of rogue webpages is determined by their visitors' geolocations. The sites learn this information by checking users' IP (Internet Protocol) addresses. Therefore, whether visitors are presented with questionable material and/or get redirected elsewhere - depends on their geolocations.

Additionally, websites of this type tend to use clickbait, fake CAPTCHA verification, or other deceptive content - to trick visitors into allowing their browser notifications. This also applies to the news-vocice[.]cc webpage; it instructs to "Click 'Allow', to watch the video". Should the notifications be enabled, the page will start running intrusive advertisement campaigns.

The ads displayed by news-vocice[.]cc can be misleading, untrustworthy, and even dangerous. Intrusive adverts endorse various unreliable, deceptive/scam, and malicious sites. Some of these advertisements can even be triggered (by being clicked) to execute scripts designed to stealthily download/install software (e.g., PUAs).

How do potentially unwanted applications operate?

Potentially unwanted applications typically have harmful functionalities. Aside from force-opening websites, these apps can also deliver intrusive ad campaigns (adware) and/or modify browsers (browser hijackers). Furthermore, most PUAs can track data.

Targeted information includes: URLs visited, webpages viewed, search queries typed, IP addresses/ geolocations, personally identifiable details, and so forth. The collected data is then monetized by being shared with and/or sold to third-parties (potentially, cyber criminals).

In summary, the presence of unwanted software on devices can lead to system infections, severe privacy issues, financial losses, and even identity theft. To protect device and user safety, all suspicious applications and browser extensions/plug-ins must be eliminated without delay.

Potentially unwanted applications in general

PUAs usually appear legitimate and offer a broad range of "advantageous" features. However, the functions are rarely operational. The only aim of unwanted apps is to generate profit for the developers; they have no real value to users. PUAs are designed to cause redirects, run intrusive ad campaigns, hijack browsers, and collect private data.

How did adware install on my computer?

PUAs can be downloaded/installed together with other programs. This false marketing tactic of packing ordinary software with unwanted/malicious additions - is called "bundling". Rushed download/installation processes (e.g., ignored terms, skipped steps, etc.) increase the risk of allowing bundled content into the system.

Intrusive adverts are used to proliferate PUAs as well. Upon being clicked, the advertisements can execute scripts to download/install these applications without user consent. PUAs may also have "official" promotional webpages from which they can be downloaded and/or purchased.

How to avoid installation of potentially unwanted applications?

It is recommended to research software before download/installation and/or purchase. Additionally, all downloads must be done from official and verified sources. Untrustworthy download channels, e.g., unofficial and freeware websites, Peer-to-Peer sharing networks, and other third-party downloaders - often offer bundled and hazardous content.

When downloading/installing, it is recommended to read terms, study possible options, use the "Custom/Advanced" settings, and opt-out from additional apps, tools, features, and so on. Intrusive advertisements appear legitimate; however, they redirect to questionable sites (e.g., gambling, pornography, adult-dating, etc.).

In case of encounters with ads and/or redirects of this type, the system must be inspected and all suspect applications and browser extensions/plug-ins detected - immediately removed from it. If your computer is already infected with rogue applications, we recommend running a scan with Combo Cleaner Antivirus for Windows to automatically eliminate them.

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.
