Where did News-juposi pop-ups come from?

The primary and most prevalent approach to access the pop-up spamming site is to navigate through content on warez sites, pages containing pirated content, and similar platforms. The persons responsible for such dubious venues aim to compensate for expenses via redirects, often as a advertising maneuver. This type of redirection is commonly known as an “anti-bot verification”.

An additional plausible origin of pop-up advertisements is adware, currently active within your system. It alters browser settings in a way so it starts displaying News-juposi pop-ups without your consent. However, this situation is relatively infrequent, as such malware employs its own, more productive technique to showcasing advertisements.

Are News-juposi pop-up ads dangerous?

Yes, they are. Initially, they may look safe – just a colourful window that appears from time to time. However, the contents of this window differ drastically from what you used to see in push notifications. News-juposi.com website is controlled by crooks, who intentionally spread hundreds and thousands of irrelevant ads in pop-ups. They also never follow any common sense and can make sporadic pop-up ads into a storm of promotions. For weak systems, that may be enough to cause performance issues. But that is not all troubles these pop-ups carry.

Why people dislike popups

Even though hackers make the ads similar to ones from Amazon, Walmart or Ebay, the site 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-juposi pop-ups are not recommended to click on either, and the best solution is to disable them as soon as possible.

#
# 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.
