Dkeie.co.in push notifications appear when you do not expect, distracting and irritating you. However, they are much more than annoying notifications – their nature is surely malignant, and they may introduce other malware to your computer. In this article, I will show you how to remove Dkeie.co.in pop-up notifications and explain how to avoid them in the future.
Any time you interact with Dkeie.co.in push notifications will be useless at best. In worst case scenario, the sites it can open can introduce malware to your system. These push notifications may also promote fake online shopping sites which will take your money and payment info. The latter generally ends up with losing all the money you have on the exposed card.
What are Dkeie.co.in pop-up notifications?
As the pop-up definition goes, these are short and small advertisements that attract your attention to a product they promote. But the difference between regular pop-ups and Dkeie.co.in notifications is the malicious origins of the latter. Common pop-up notifications are offered for you to enable on different sites with a legitimate purpose – keep you aware about the new articles, goods for sale and so on. It is an effective approach to help your site to keep visitors and help the interested users to have the best deal.

Dkeie.co.in pop-up advertisements, as opposed, are related to untrustworthy sites. You will generally observe the proposition to turn them on following the redirection from another site. It’s OK to see redirects unless it throws you to such a dubious place. In this case, enabling push notifications is offered under the guise of the anti-DDoS check. In other cases, the sites may refuse to show you the content unless you enable these push notifications. These demands should already be the red flag, as websites usually have a different anti-bot mechanism. Witnessing this offer is a reason to leave the website doubtlessly. Sometimes, even after clicking “Allow”, you will not see the website – it has only a landing page with the offer to turn on the pop-up ads.
How does this work?
The vast majority of browsers support turning on push notifications from sites. Sites, on the other hand, may send out notifications with the content they want. It can be an advertisement of the product or a page published on this particular site, or a promotion of their partner page. As a result, you may see the push notification from site X, but interacting with it will redirect you to website Y – because a referral link to the latter was added.
Crooks bear on this feature in their attempt to earn money through advertising. They trick victims into turning on pop-ups, and after that just spread numerous banners of anyone they have a deal with. As you may suppose, no normal organisations will contract with fraudsters. All the Dkeie.co.in popups you may see lead to other fraudulent sites. In some cases, the same victim can get into a trap of several pop-up spamming web pages, and its web browser will turn into a complete mess.
The promotions these criminals show are paid under the pay-per-view model. It generally provides a negligible payment for one person, but when you can send ads to a huge number of users and show them hundreds of ads every day – that is a way bigger sum. Even though the majority of these banners are ineffective, it may still give all the participants a lot of profit.
Are Dkeie.co.in pop-up notifications dangerous?
Yes, they are. At the surface, they can look harmless – just a colourful window that appears a couple times in an hour. However, the things this window promotes differ drastically from what you generally see in push notifications. Dkeie.co.in web page is ruled by fraudsters, who intendedly spread hundreds of malicious ads in pop-ups. They also never follow any manners of advertising and can make sporadic push notifications into a storm of ads. For weak computers, that may be enough to cause performance issues. But troubles are not over at this point.
As with any other thing related to illegal advertising, Dkeie.co.in pop-up notifications don’t have legit deals to offer. Even when crooks make the banners looking similar to ones from Amazon, Walmart or Ebay, the website these ads will throw you to are completely different. And these pages may offer you to turn on other pop-ups, install a “useful” program, or pay for a thing at a big discount and never receive it. Let’s leave aside the cases when pop-up advertisements promote phishing pages or straightforward malware. There’s no way these pages will bring you any good, thus interacting with them is a very bad idea. For the same reason, Dkeie.co.in push notifications are not recommended to click on either, and the best solution is to disable them as soon as possible.
How to remove Dkeie.co.in pop-ups?
Fortunately, Dkeie.co.in pop-up ads removal is pretty easy. They sit in the web browser and can’t hide themselves among system files. Nonetheless, as I stated before, some pop-up notifications may deliver malware to your computer. It is nearly impossible to describe all cases, and manual malware removal is a poor idea. For that reason, after removing the source of the pop-up notifications the best option is to use anti-malware software. I’d especially recommend that if you have never allowed pop-up notifications, and they still appeared. That can point at adware activity. GridinSoft Anti-Malware will perfectly fit both system recovery and malware scanning purposes, thanks to its abilities of system recovery and superb detection system.

When the browsers are reset, you need to ensure that your browser will connect the right DNS while connecting to the web page you need. Create a text file titled “hosts” on your pc’s desktop, then open it and fill it with the following lines2:
# Copyright (c) 1993-2006 Microsoft Corp.
#
# This is a sample HOSTS file used by Microsoft TCP/IP for Windows.
#
# This file contains the mappings of IP addresses to host names. Each
# entry should be kept on an individual line. The IP address should
# be placed in the first column followed by the corresponding host name.
# The IP address and the host name should be separated by at least one
# space.
#
# Additionally, comments (such as these) may be inserted on individual
# lines or following the machine name denoted by a '#' symbol.
#
# For example:
#
# 102.54.94.97 rhino.acme.com # source server
# 38.25.63.10 x.acme.com # x client host
# localhost name resolution is handle within DNS itself.
# 127.0.0.1 localhost
# ::1 localhost
Find the hosts.txt file in C:/Windows/System32/drivers/etc directory. Rename this file to “hosts.old.txt” (to distinguish it from the new one), and then move the file you created on the desktop to this folder. Remove the hosts.old from this folder. Now you have your hosts file as good as new.
