News-reyoto.cc pop-up notifications appear when you do not expect, detracting and annoying you. Still, that is way more than simple pop-up ads – their nature is clearly malignant, and they can bring other malicious stuff to your PC. In this article, I will show you the guide how to remove News-reyoto.cc push notifications and explain how to avoid them in the future.
Any interaction with News-reyoto.cc push notifications will be ineffective at best. At worst, the websites it can open can introduce malware to your system. These push notifications can 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-reyoto.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-ups and News-reyoto.cc notifications is the malignant origins of the latter. Common pop-up ads are offered for you to enable with a straightforward purpose – notify you about the fresh articles, goods for sale and so on. It is a useful thing to help your site to keep visitors and help the interested visitors to have the best deal.

News-reyoto.cc pop-up advertisements, in contrast, are related to less legit web pages. You will commonly observe the proposition to turn them on following the redirection from another website. Redirects are OK unless it throws you to such a questionable place. At that point, enabling pop-up advertisements is served as the anti-bot check. In other cases, the websites can deny showing you the contents unless you turn on these pop-ups. These theses should already be the red flag, as websites generally have a less obscure anti-bot mechanism. Seeing this offer should be the reason to leave the page right away. In some cases, even after clicking “Allow”, you will not see the web page – the only page it has is a landing page with the offer to turn on the push notifications.
News-reyoto.cc push notification.
How does this work?
Most of browsers support turning on push notifications from websites. Sites, on the other hand, can send out notifications with the content they want. It may be a promotion of the product or a page listed for sale on this particular website, or a promotion of the page of their partner. As a result, you can see the push notification from site X, but opening it will redirect you to website Y – because a link to that website was added.
Cybercriminals rely on this ability in their approach to earn money through advertising. They trick users into allowing them to show the banners, and then just spread hundreds of banners of anyone they contract with. As you can suppose, no benevolent organisations will contract with fraudsters. All the News-reyoto.cc push ads you can see lead to other untrustworthy sites. At some point, the same victim can be trapped by several pop-up spamming sites, and its web browser will turn into a complete mess.
The promotions these criminals show are paid under the pay-per-view model. It generally provides a negligible payment for one person, but when you have hundreds of victims and make it hundreds of times every day – that is a way bigger sum. Despite most of these banners are ineffective, it can still bring all the participants a lot of profit.
Are News-reyoto.cc pop-up advertisements dangerous?
Yes, they are. At the surface, they can look safe – just a colourful pop-up that appears a couple times in an hour. However, the things this window promotes differ drastically from what you generally see in pop-ups. News-reyoto.cc web page is ruled by crooks, who intendedly spread hundreds of irrelevant ads in pop-ups. They also never follow any manners of advertising and can launch sporadic pop-ups into a storm of banners. For weak computers, that may be enough to make the system slower. But problems are not over at this point.
As with any other thing related to illegal advertising, News-reyoto.cc pop-up advertisements do not contain any legit offers. Even though crooks make the ads looking 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 ads 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-reyoto.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-reyoto.cc pop-ups?
Fortunately, News-reyoto.cc pop-up advertisements removal is pretty easy. They sit in the browser and can’t hide themselves on a disk. Nonetheless, as I told above, some pop-ups may promote malware to your computer. It is hard to predict all cases, and manual attempts to remove malware is a bad idea. For that reason, after getting rid of the push notifications it is recommended to use anti-malware software. That is especially recommended in the case when you have never clicked “Allow” to pop-up notifications, and they still appeared. That can be a sign of malware activity.

When the browsers are reset, you need to ensure that your browser will connect the right DNS while connecting to the site 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.
