Ads by theironnews.site removal instructions

What kind of page is theironnews[.]site?

While investigating rogue websites, our researchers discovered that theironnews[.]site is an untrustworthy page designed to promote spam browser notifications. It can also redirect visitors to other unreliable and dangerous sites. Most users access webpages like theironnews[.]site via others using rogue advertising networks.

Theironnews[.]site overview

The behavior of rogue sites can depend on their visitor's IP address/ geolocation. Therefore, what users visiting theironnews[.]site (or similar webpages) encounter - may differ.

When we entered this site, we were presented with fake CAPTCHA verification - "Press 'Allow' to verify, that you ate not a robot" - intended to trick visitors into enabling theironnews[.]site to deliver browser notifications. If allowed, the notifications will be used for dubious advertising.

Additionally, pressing "Allow" may cause a redirect; in our case, theironnews[.]site redirected to an identical notification-pushing page. The browser notifications/ intrusive adverts displayed by such sites promote unreliable/harmful websites and software, online scams, and even malware.

Browser notification spam in general

We have researched thousands of sites similar to theironnews[.]site; bulletspeed-updates[.]com, xervoo[.]net, new-message-service[.]com, and coolingcola[.]com are merely a few examples.

Their notifications are typically employed to endorse untrustworthy and malicious content. However, we have also observed these ads promoting legitimate products. It is noteworthy that this promotion is unlikely to be approved by their developers; instead, this method is used by scammers using affiliate programs to fraudulently obtain commissions.

How did theironnews[.]site gain permission to deliver spam notifications?

Websites need user permission to deliver browser notifications. Hence, you've likely visited theironnews[.]site and were deceived with the fake CAPTCHA this page displays - into allowing it to do so. It is pertinent to mention that most rogue webpages use clickbait to push visitors into enabling their notifications.

How to prevent deceptive sites from delivering spam notifications?

If you access a suspicious website, do not click "Allow", "Allow Notifications", or similar options. Instead, we strongly advise ignoring or denying notification requests (i.e., selecting "Block", "Block Notifications", etc.).

Should your browser continuously force-open questionable sites (e.g., theironnews[.]site), it might be due to installed adware. Advertising-supported software can infiltrate devices without user consent; therefore, you may be unaware of its presence. If your computer is already infected with rogue applications, we recommend running a scan with Combo Cleaner Antivirus for Windows to automatically eliminate them.
