Juicebike.online pop-up advertisements appear out of the blue, bothering and annoying you. However, that is much more than simple pop-ups – their essence is cleanly malignant, and they can bring other malicious stuff to your device. In this post, I will guide you on how to remove Juicebike.online push notifications and explain how to avoid them in the future.
Any interaction with Juicebike.online push notifications will be useless at best. In worst case scenario, the websites it can show you may introduce malware to your system. These push notifications may also advertise fake online shopping websites 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 Juicebike.online push 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 push notifications and Juicebike.online notifications is the malignant origins of the latter. Normal pop-up ads are offered for you to enable with a benevolent purpose – keep you aware about the new posts, discounts and so on. It is a useful thing to help your site to keep visitors and help the interested visitors to have the best deal.

Juicebike.online pop-ups, in contrast, have a deal with unlegit web pages. You will generally see the offer to turn them on after a redirection from another website. Redirects are OK unless it throws you to such a dubious place. At that point, turning on pop-up notifications is offered as the anti-DDoS check-up. Alternatively, the websites can refuse to show you the contents unless you enable these pop-up ads. These theses should be the red flag, as websites commonly have a less obscure anti-bot mechanism. Spectating this offer should be the reason to skip the website doubtlessly. In some cases, even after clicking “Allow”, you will not get to the website – it has only a landing page with the offer to turn on the pop-up notifications.

How does it work?
Most of web browsers support turning on push notifications from sites. Websites, on the other hand, can send notifications with the content they want. It may be an advertisement of the product or a page published on this particular site, as well as an ad of their partner page. As a result, you can see the push notification from site X, but interacting with it will redirect you to site Y – because a referral link to the latter was built in.
Cyber burglars rely on this feature in their attempt to earn money using illegal advertising. They trick victims into turning on pop-ups, and after that just spread numerous banners of other crooks they contract with. As you can suppose, no normal companies will have a business with fraudsters. All the Juicebike.online notifications you may see lead to other untrustworthy sites. At some point, the same victim may get into a trap of several pop-up spamming sites, and its web browser will turn into a complete mess.
The banners these rascals show are paid under the pay-per-view model. It usually provides a miserable pay for one person, but when you have hundreds of users and show them hundreds of ads each day – that is a much more significant sum. Despite the majority of such ads giving no result at all, it may still give all the parties a lot of profit.
Are Juicebike.online pop-up notifications dangerous?
Yes, they are. Initially, they can look safe – just a blinking window that appears from time to time. However, the contents of this window differ sharply from what you generally see in pop-up ads. Juicebike.online site is controlled by fraudsters, who intendedly show hundreds and thousands of malicious ads in pop-ups. They also don’t follow any manners of advertising and can launch sporadic pop-up ads into a hurricane of promotions. For weak computers, that may be enough to cause performance issues. But troubles are not over at this point.
As any other thing that touches illegal advertising, Juicebike.online pop-up ads do not contain any legit deals to offer. Even though crooks make the banners looking similar to ones from Amazon, Walmart or Ebay, the site these banners will throw you to are completely different. And these pages can 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 push notifications 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, Juicebike.online pop-ups are not recommended to click on either, and the best solution is to disable them as soon as possible.
How to remove Juicebike.online pop-ups?

When the browsers are reset, you need to ensure that your browser will connect the right DNS while connecting to the website 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.
