Still, they are slightly more than simple pop-up ads – their origins is purely malicious, and they can bring other malware to your device. In this post, I will show you the guide how to remove News-sisuyu pop-up advertisements and explain how to avoid them in the future.

What are News-sisuyu pop-ups?

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-sisuyu notifications is the malicious origins of the latter. Normal pop-up notifications are offered for you to enable with a understandable purpose – notify you about the latest articles, goods for sale and so on. It is a useful thing to help your website to retain visitors and help the interested users to have the best price.

News-sisuyu pop-up ads, as opposed, are related to less legit websites. You will commonly witness the offer 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, turning on push notifications is served under the guise of the anti-DDoS check-up. In other cases, the web pages can refuse to show you the content unless you enable these pop-ups. These requirements should already raise suspicion, as websites usually have a more convenient anti-bot mechanism. Witnessing this offer is a reason to leave the website right away. In some cases, even when you click “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 it work?

The majority of web browsers support enabling push notifications from sites. Websites, on the other hand, can send out notifications with the content they like. 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 can see the push notification from site X, but opening it will redirect you to site Y – because a referral link to the latter was added.

Cyber burglars bear on this feature in their attempt to earn money through advertising. They trick victims into allowing the pop-ups, and then just spread hundreds of ads of other crooks they have a deal with. As you can suppose, no normal organisations will have a deal with fraudsters. All the News-sisuyu popups you may see lead to other fraudulent sites. At some point, the same user may get into a trap of several pop-up spamming websites, and its web browser will turn into a complete mess.

The ads these crooks show are paid under the pay-per-view model. It usually provides a miserable payment for one viewer, but when you have a huge number of victims and make it hundreds of times every day – that is a much more significant sum. Despite the majority of these banners giving no result at all, it may still bring all the parties a lot of money.

Are News-sisuyu pop-up advertisements dangerous?

Yes, they are. At the surface, they may look safe – just a blinking pop-up that appears a couple times in an hour. However, the contents of this window differ drastically from what you generally see in pop-up advertisements. News-sisuyu.com website is controlled by crooks, who intendedly throw tons of irrelevant ads in pop-ups. They also don’t follow any common sense and can make sporadic pop-ups into a storm of ads. For weak computers, that may be enough to make the system slower. But that is not all troubles these push notifications carry.

Why people dislike popups

As with any other thing related to illegal advertising, News-sisuyu pop-ups lack legit offers. Even though hackers make the ads looking similar to ones from Amazon, Walmart or Ebay, the website these ads 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-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-sisuyu push notifications are not recommended to click on either, and the best solution is to disable them as soon as possible.

How to remove News-sisuyu pop-ups?

Fortunately, News-sisuyu pop-up notifications removal is pretty easy. They sit in the web browser and cannot hide themselves in the system. Nonetheless, as I stated before, some pop-ups can promote malicious software to your computer. It is hard to show all of the cases, and manual malware removal is inconvenient. For that reason, after disabling the pop-up ads it is recommended to use anti-malware software. That is especially recommended in the case when you have never allowed pop-ups, and they still appeared. That can point at malware activity. GridinSoft Anti-Malware will perfectly fit both system recovery and malware scanning and removal purposes, because of its abilities of system recovery and advanced detection system.

Initially, you should reset your browser settings. You can do that in manual or automated way. The former, obviously, requires more time to complete and may 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 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.
