News-mejose.cc pop-up advertisements appear when you do not expect, distracting and irritating you. However, that is way more than simple pop-ups – their essence is surely malicious, and they may install other malware to your PC. In this article, I will show you how to remove News-mejose.cc push notifications and explain how to avoid them in the future.
Any interaction with News-mejose.cc pop-ups will be ineffective at best. In worst case scenario, the pages it can show you may introduce malware to your system. These push notifications may also promote fake 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-mejose.cc push 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 advertisements and News-mejose.cc notifications is the malicious origins of the latter. Common pop-up advertisements are offered for you to enable on different sites with a benevolent purpose – keep you aware about the fresh articles, goods for sale and so on. It is a useful tool to help your site to retain visitors and help the interested users to have the best price.

News-mejose.cc pop-up notifications, on the other hand, have a deal with unlegit websites. You will generally see the offer to turn them on following the redirection from another page. There’s nothing bad in redirecting unless it throws you to such a dubious place. In this case, enabling pop-ups is served as the anti-bot check. In other cases, the websites can deny showing you the content unless you turn on these pop-up notifications. These demands should already raise suspicion, as websites commonly have a more convenient anti-bot mechanism. Witnessing such an demand is a reason to leave the page doubtlessly. In some cases, even when you click “Allow”, you will not see the site – the sole page it has is a landing page with the offer to turn on the pop-ups.
News-mejose.cc push notification.
How does this work?
The vast majority of web browsers support enabling pop-ups from sites. Websites, on the other hand, may send out notifications with the content of their choice. It can be a promotion of the page published on this site, or an ad of the page of their partner. As a result, you can see the pop-up from site X, but interacting with 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 gain money using illegal advertising. They trick victims into turning on pop-ups, and after that just spread numerous promotions of anyone they have a deal with. As you may suppose, no benevolent companies will have a business with fraudsters. All the News-mejose.cc notifications you may see lead to other fraudulent sites. In some cases, the same user can be trapped by multiple pop-up spamming websites, and its web browser will turn into a complete mess.
The banners these crooks show are paid under the pay-per-view model. It generally provides a miserable payment for one view, but when you can send ads to hundreds of users and show them hundreds of ads each day – that is a much bigger sum. Despite the majority of such banners giving no result at all, it can still bring all the participants a lot of profit.
Are News-mejose.cc push notifications dangerous?
Yes, they are. At the surface, they can look non-threatening – 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-ups. News-mejose.cc web page is ruled by fraudsters, who intentionally spread hundreds of irrelevant ads in pop-ups. They also never follow any manners of advertising and can make sporadic pop-up ads into a hurricane of banners. For weak computers, that may be enough to cause performance issues. But that is not all troubles these pop-up advertisements carry.
As with any other thing related to illegal advertising, News-mejose.cc pop-ups don’t have legit offers. Even when hackers make the ads looking 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-ups 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-mejose.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-mejose.cc pop-ups?
Fortunately, News-mejose.cc pop-up notifications removal is pretty easy. They parasite in the browser and cannot hide themselves on a disk.

Thus, after removing the source of the pop-ups the best option is to use anti-malware software.

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.
