What are News-huhabe.cc pop-up advertisements?
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 advertisements and News-huhabe.cc notifications is the malignant origins of the latter.

News-huhabe.cc pop-up advertisements, as opposed, have a deal with less legit web pages. You will generally see the proposition to turn them on following the redirection from another website. It’s OK to see redirects unless it throws you into such a dubious place. In this case, enabling pop-ups is offered as the anti-bot check. In other cases, the web pages can refuse to show you the contents unless you enable these pop-ups. These theses should raise suspicion, as websites commonly have a more convenient anti-bot mechanism. Witnessing this requirement is a reason to leave the website right away. In some cases, even when you click “Allow”, you will not see the website – the sole page it has is a landing page with the offer to turn on the pop-up ads.
News-huhabe.cc push notification.
How does it work?
Most of browsers support turning on push notifications from sites. Websites, on the other hand, can send out notifications with the content of their choice. It may be a promotion of the page published on this site, as well as an ad of the page of their partner. As a result, you may see the pop-up from site X, but opening it will throw you to site Y – because a referral link to that website was built in.
Crooks rely on this feature in their approach to gain money through advertising. They trick users into turning on pop-ups, and after that just spread numerous promotions of other crooks they contract with. As you may suppose, no image-caring companies will contract with fraudsters. All the News-huhabe.cc push ads you may see lead to other fraudulent sites. In some cases, the same user can be trapped by several pop-up spamming sites, and its browser will turn into a complete mess.
The ads these rascals show are paid under the pay-per-view model. It generally provides a miserable pay for one view, but when you can send ads to hundreds of users and show them hundreds of ads each day – that is a way bigger sum. Despite most of these ads giving no result at all, it can still give all the participants a lot of money.
Are News-huhabe.cc pop-ups dangerous?
Yes, they are. At the surface, 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 advertisements. News-huhabe.cc website is controlled by crooks, who intentionally show hundreds and thousands of irrelevant ads in pop-ups. They also don’t follow any common sense and can launch sporadic push notifications into a hurricane of banners. For weak systems, 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, News-huhabe.cc push notifications do not contain any legit deals to offer. Even though hackers make the ads similar to ones from well-known retailers, the website these banners 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-huhabe.cc pop-ups 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 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.
