News-dizaja pop-up notifications appear when you do not expect, detracting and annoying you. However, they are slightly more than annoying pop-ups – their nature is clearly malignant, and they can install other malware to your PC. In this article, I will show you the guide how to remove News-dizaja pop-up notifications and explain how to avoid them in the future.
Any interaction with News-dizaja pop-up notifications will be useless at best. In worst case scenario, the web pages it can throw you to may introduce malware to your system. These pop-up advertisements can also advertise fake 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 News-dizaja 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-up notifications and News-dizaja pop-ups is the malignant origins of the latter. Common pop-up ads are offered for you to enable with a understandable purpose – notify you about the fresh publications, discounts and so on. It is an effective approach to help your website to retain visitors and help the interested visitors to have the best price.

News-dizaja pop-up advertisements, in contrast, are related to untrustworthy sites. You will generally witness the proposition to turn them on after a redirection from another page. There’s nothing bad in redirecting unless they throw you into such a dubious place. At that point, enabling pop-up ads is offered as the anti-bot filtering. Alternatively, the web pages can deny showing you the contents unless you enable these pop-up advertisements. These requirements should be the red flag, as websites generally have a less obscure anti-bot mechanism. Seeing such an offer is a reason to skip the website right away. In some cases, even after clicking “Allow”, you will not get to the web page – it has only a landing page with the offer to turn on the pop-up ads.
News-dizaja push notification.
How does it work?
The vast majority of browsers support turning on push notifications from sites. Websites, on the other hand, may send out notifications with the content they want. It may be a promotion of the page posted on this site, as well as a promotion of the page of their partner. As a result, you can see the push notification from site X, but opening it will throw you to website Y – because a link to the latter was added.
Cyber burglars rely on this feature in their attempt to gain money using illegal advertising. They trick victims into turning on pop-ups, and then just spread hundreds of banners of anyone they contract with. As you can suppose, no benevolent companies will have a deal with fraudsters. All the News-dizaja notifications you can see lead to other fraudulent sites. In some cases, the same victim can be trapped by several pop-up spamming web pages, and its web browser will turn into a complete mess.
The banners these criminals show are paid under the pay-per-view model. It commonly provides a negligible payment for one view, but when you can send ads to hundreds of users and make it hundreds of times each day – that is a much more significant sum. Even though the majority of such ads giving no result at all, it may still give all the participants a lot of money.
Are News-dizaja pop-up advertisements dangerous?
Yes, they are. Initially, they may look harmless – just a colourful pop-up that appears from time to time. However, the contents of this window differ drastically from what you used to see in pop-ups. News-dizaja.com website is controlled by fraudsters, who intentionally spread hundreds and thousands of irrelevant ads in pop-ups. They also don’t follow any manners of advertising and can make sporadic pop-up ads into a hurricane of banners. For weak computers, that may be enough to cause performance issues. But that is not all troubles these pop-up ads carry.
As with any other thing related to illegal advertising, News-dizaja pop-up ads don’t have legit deals to offer. Even though crooks make the ads similar to ones from well-known retailers, the site 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, News-dizaja pop-ups are not recommended to click on either, and the best solution is to disable them as soon as possible.
How to remove News-dizaja pop-ups?
Fortunately, News-dizaja pop-up advertisements removal is pretty easy. They parasite in the browser and cannot conceal themselves among system files. Nevertheless, as I told before, some push notifications may introduce malware to your system. It is hard to describe all cases, and manual attempts to remove malware is a poor idea. Therefore, after removing the source of the push notifications it is recommended to use anti-malware software. I’d especially recommend that if you have never allowed pop-up notifications, and they still appeared. This situation may be a sign of adware activity. GridinSoft Anti-Malware will be the best both system recovery and malware checkup purposes, because of its system recovery functionality and advanced detection system.

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.
