News-fumayu.cc pop-up ads, on the other hand, are related to untrustworthy web pages. You will commonly observe the offer to turn them on following the redirection from another website. There’s nothing bad in redirecting unless they throw you into such a questionable place. At that point, turning on pop-up advertisements is served as the anti-bot filtering. Alternatively, the web pages can deny showing you the content unless you turn on these push notifications. These theses should already be the red flag, as sites generally have a more convenient anti-bot mechanism. Seeing such an requirement should be the reason to leave the page doubtlessly. Sometimes, even after clicking “Allow”, you will not get to the web page – the only page it has is a landing page with the offer to turn on the push notifications.
News-fumayu.cc 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 notifications with the content they want. It may be a promotion of the product published on this particular website, or a promotion of their partner page. As a result, you may see the push notification from site X, but opening it will direct you to site Y – because a link to that website was built in.
Cyber burglars rely on this ability in their attempt to gain money through advertising. They trick victims into allowing them to show the banners, and then just spread hundreds of promotions of other crooks they contract with. As you may suppose, no normal companies will contract with fraudsters. All the News-fumayu.cc popups you can see lead to other untrustworthy sites. At some point, the same user may get into a trap of several pop-up spamming websites, and its web browser will turn into a complete mess.
The promotions these rascals show are paid under the pay-per-view model. It generally provides a negligible commission for one person, but when you can send ads to a huge number of victims and make it hundreds of times each day – that is a much bigger sum. Even though most of such banners giving no result at all, it can still give all the participants a lot of money.
Are News-fumayu.cc pop-up notifications dangerous?
Yes, they are. At the surface, they can look safe – just a colourful window that appears from time to time. However, the contents of this window differ sharply from what you generally see in pop-up notifications. News-fumayu.cc site is ruled by crooks, who intentionally throw hundreds of malicious ads in pop-ups. They also never follow any manners of advertising and can make sporadic pop-up advertisements 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 advertisements carry.
As with any other thing that touches illegal advertising, News-fumayu.cc pop-up advertisements lack legit offers. Even when hackers make the ads looking similar to ones from Walmart or Amazon, 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 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, News-fumayu.cc push notifications are not recommended to click on either, and the best solution is to disable them as soon as possible.

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