Yes, they are. At the surface, they may look non-threatening – just a colourful pop-up that appears a couple times in an hour. However, the contents of this window differ drastically from what you used to see in pop-up advertisements. News-jeraje.com website is ruled by crooks, who deliberately throw tons of irrelevant ads in pop-ups. They also never follow any manners of advertising and can launch sporadic pop-up advertisements into a hurricane of ads. For weak systems, that may be enough to make the system slower.

Even when crooks make the ads similar to ones from Walmart or Amazon, 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.

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-jeraje pop-ups are not recommended to click on either, and the best solution is to disable them as soon as possible.

#

# 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

# localhost name resolution is handle within DNS itself.
