News-nileve.cc pop-up notifications appear when you do not expect, disturbing and irritating you. Still, they are slightly more than just notifications – their essence is purely malicious, and they can introduce other malicious stuff to your device. In this article, I will guide you on how to remove News-nileve.cc pop-up advertisements and explain how to avoid them in the future.
Any time you interact with News-nileve.cc pop-up notifications will be useless at best. In worst case scenario, the pages it can open may introduce malware to your system. These pop-ups may also promote 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-nileve.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-ups and News-nileve.cc pop-ups is the malicious origins of the latter. Common pop-up notifications are offered for you to enable on different sites with a benevolent purpose – keep you aware about the latest publications, goods for sale and so on. It is a useful tool to help your website to keep visitor’s attention and help the interested users to have the best price.

News-nileve.cc pop-up ads, in contrast, have a deal with less legit websites. You will commonly witness the proposition to enable them following the redirection from another site. Redirects are OK unless they throw you into such a questionable place. In this case, enabling pop-up notifications is offered under the guise of the anti-bot filtering. Alternatively, the sites may refuse to show you the contents unless you enable these pop-up notifications. These theses should raise suspicion, as sites usually have a different anti-bot mechanism. Spectating such an offer is a reason to leave the website right away. Sometimes, even after clicking “Allow”, you will not see the website – the sole page it has is a landing page with the offer to turn on the push notifications.
News-nileve.cc push notification.
How does this work?
The majority of browsers support turning on push notifications from sites. Websites, on the other hand, may send notifications with the content they like. It can be an advertisement of the product or a page listed on this site, as well as a promotion of the page of their partner. As a result, you may see the pop-up from site X, but interacting with it will throw you to website Y – because a referral link to the latter was built in.
Scoundrels bear on this feature in their approach to earn money using illegal advertising. They trick users into allowing the pop-ups, and after that just spread hundreds of ads of other crooks they contract with. As you may suppose, no benevolent companies will have a deal with fraudsters. All the News-nileve.cc popups you may see lead to other untrustworthy sites. In some cases, the same user can get into a trap of several pop-up spamming sites, and its web browser will turn into a complete mess.
The ads these criminals show are paid under the pay-per-view model. It usually provides a negligible commission for one person, but when you have hundreds of users and make it hundreds of times each day – that is a much more significant sum. Even though the majority of such ads giving no result at all, it may still bring all the parties a lot of profit.
Are News-nileve.cc pop-up advertisements dangerous?
Yes, they are. Initially, they can look safe – just a blinking pop-up that appears from time to time. However, the contents of this window differ sharply from what you used to see in push notifications. News-nileve.cc website is controlled by fraudsters, who intentionally spread hundreds and thousands of irrelevant ads in pop-ups. They also don’t follow any manners of advertising and can make sporadic pop-up advertisements into a storm of promotions. 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 that touches illegal advertising, News-nileve.cc pop-up notifications lack legit offers. Even when crooks make the banners similar to ones from Walmart or Amazon, the website these banners will throw you to are completely different. And these pages can 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-nileve.cc pop-up ads are not recommended to click on either, and the best solution is to disable them as soon as possible.

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.
