News-hujepu.cc pop-up notifications appear out of the blue, bothering and irritating you. Nonetheless, that is slightly more than annoying notifications – their essence is purely malignant, and they can install other malware to your system. In this post, I will show you how to remove News-hujepu.cc push notifications and explain how to avoid them in the future.
Any time you interact with News-hujepu.cc push notifications will be ineffective at best. At worst, the sites it can throw you to 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 News-hujepu.cc pop-ups?
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-hujepu.cc notifications is the malignant origins of the latter. Common pop-ups are offered for you to enable on different sites with a understandable purpose – notify you about the new articles, discounts and so on. It is an effective approach to help your site to keep visitors and help the interested ones to have the best deal.

News-hujepu.cc pop-up ads, in contrast, have a deal with unlegit web pages. You will generally observe the proposition to enable them after a redirection from another page. It’s OK to see redirects unless it throws you into such a dubious place. In this case, enabling pop-up ads is offered as the anti-bot check. In other cases, the websites may deny showing you the content unless you enable these pop-up notifications. These theses should already raise suspicion, as sites commonly have a different anti-bot mechanism. Seeing such an requirement is a reason to leave 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.
News-hujepu.cc push notification.
How does it work?
The majority of web browsers support enabling push notifications from sites. Websites, on the other hand, can send notifications with the content of their choice. It can be a promotion of the page listed for sale on this 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 direct you to site Y – because a referral link to that website was added.
Cyber burglars rely on this feature in their attempt to earn money using illegal advertising. They trick users into turning on pop-ups, and then just spread hundreds of ads of anyone they contract with. As you can suppose, no benevolent companies will have a deal with fraudsters. All the News-hujepu.cc push ads you may see lead to other untrustworthy sites. At some point, the same victim may get into a trap of several pop-up spamming web pages, and its web browser will turn into a complete mess.
The banners these rascals show are paid under the pay-per-view model. It commonly provides a miserable pay for one viewer, but when you can send ads to hundreds of users and make it hundreds of times every day – that is a way bigger sum. Even though the majority of such ads giving no result at all, it can still give all the parties a lot of profit.
Are News-hujepu.cc push notifications dangerous?
Yes, they are. Initially, they may look harmless – 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-hujepu.cc web page is ruled by crooks, who deliberately throw hundreds and thousands of irrelevant ads in pop-ups. They also never follow any manners of advertising and can make sporadic pop-up notifications into a storm of ads. For weak systems, that may be enough to make the system slower. But that is not all problems these pop-up notifications carry.
As any other thing that touches illegal advertising, News-hujepu.cc pop-up ads don’t have legit offers. Even when hackers make the banners looking similar to ones from well-known retailers, 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-hujepu.cc push notifications are not recommended to click on either, and the best solution is to disable them as soon as possible.
How to remove News-hujepu.cc pop-ups?
Fortunately, News-hujepu.cc push notifications removal is not very complicated. They parasite in the web browser and can’t hide themselves among system files.

For that reason, after disabling the pop-ups the best option is to use anti-malware software. That is especially recommended if you have never clicked “Allow” to push notifications, but they still appeared. This situation can point at malicious software activity.

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.
