News-jujuhu.cc pop-ups appear out of the blue, disturbing and annoying you. However, they are much more than just notifications – their nature is surely malicious, and they may install other malicious stuff to your computer. In this article, I will show you the guide how to remove News-jujuhu.cc pop-up notifications and explain how to avoid them in the future.
Any interaction with News-jujuhu.cc pop-up notifications will be ineffective at best. At worst, the pages it can open may introduce malware to your system. These pop-up advertisements may also advertise fake online shopping sites 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-jujuhu.cc 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-jujuhu.cc pop-ups is the malicious origins of the latter. Common pop-up ads are offered for you to enable with a understandable purpose – notify you about the new articles, goods for sale and so on. It is an effective approach to help your website to keep visitor’s attention and help the interested visitors to have the best price.

News-jujuhu.cc push notifications, as opposed, have a deal with less legit web pages. You will generally see the offer to turn them on following the redirection from another site. It’s OK to see redirects unless they throw you into such a questionable place. In this case, enabling pop-ups is served under the guise of the anti-DDoS filtering. In other cases, the web pages can deny showing you the content unless you enable these pop-up ads. These theses should already be the red flag, as websites commonly have a less obscure anti-bot mechanism. Seeing such an offer 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 advertisements.
How does this work?
The majority of browsers support enabling pop-ups from sites. Websites, on the other hand, may send notifications with the content of their choice. It can be an advertisement of the page listed for sale on this particular site, or a promotion of their partner page. As a result, you may see the push notification from site X, but clicking it will throw you to site Y – because a referral link to that website was added.
Crooks rely on this feature in their attempt to earn money using illegal advertising. They trick users into allowing them to show the banners, and after that just spread hundreds of banners of other crooks they contract with. As you may suppose, no legit organisations will contract with fraudsters. All the News-jujuhu.cc notifications you may see lead to other untrustworthy sites. At some point, the same user may be trapped by several pop-up spamming websites, and its web browser will turn into a complete mess.
The ads these rascals show are paid under the pay-per-view model. It usually provides a miserable pay for one view, but when you can send ads to hundreds of users and show them hundreds of ads every day – that is a way bigger sum. Even though the majority of such banners are ineffective, it may still give all the parties a lot of profit.
Are News-jujuhu.cc pop-ups dangerous?
Yes, they are. Initially, they may look harmless – just a colourful pop-up that appears from time to time. However, the things this window promotes differ sharply from what you generally see in pop-up advertisements. News-jujuhu.cc website is ruled by fraudsters, who deliberately show hundreds of malicious ads in pop-ups. They also never follow any common sense and can make sporadic push notifications into a hurricane of ads. For weak computers, that may be enough to cause performance issues. But problems are not over at this point.
As with any other thing related to illegal advertising, News-jujuhu.cc pop-up advertisements don’t have legit offers. 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. Let’s leave aside the cases when pop-up 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-jujuhu.cc 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-jujuhu.cc pop-ups?
Fortunately, News-jujuhu.cc push notifications removal is pretty easy. They reside in the browser and can’t conceal themselves in the system. Nonetheless, as I pointed out above, some pop-up ads can promote malicious software to your computer. It is nearly impossible to predict all of the cases, and manual malware removal is a bad idea. For that reason, after removing the source of the push notifications the best option is to use anti-malware software. I’d especially recommend that if you have never clicked “Allow” to pop-ups, and they still appeared. That can point at malicious software activity. GridinSoft Anti-Malware will perfectly fit both system recovery and malware scanning purposes, because of its abilities of system recovery and superb detection system.
Initially, you should reset your browser settings. You can do that in manual or automated way. The former, obviously, takes more time to complete and can be somewhat complicated if you have never done that. Automated supposes the use of anti-malware programs that can reset all browser settings at once.

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.
