Press-news-for[.]me and similar websites in general

Press-news-for[.]me should not be visited or allowed to show notifications. Very often, pages of this type use clickbait techniques to trick visitors into clicking the "Allow" button/into allowing them to show notifications. For example, they display a fake CAPTCHA suggesting that users need to prove that they are not robots.

How did adware install on my computer?

Users often download or install unwanted apps through downloaders and installers for other programs - when they do not change "Custom", "Advanced", "Manual" or other settings (or untick checkboxes) before downloading or installing programs. Sometimes unwanted downloads or installations are caused by clicking ads designed to execute certain scripts.

How to avoid installation of potentially unwanted applications?

Applications and files should be downloaded from official websites and via direct links. Downloaders and installers with settings like "Custom", "Manual", "Advanced" should be checked for optional downloads or installations. Advertisements appearing on dubious, questionable pages should not be clicked.

If your computer is already infected with rogue applications, we recommend running a scan with Combo Cleaner Antivirus for Windows to automatically eliminate them.
