Yes, they are. At the surface, they can look harmless – just a colourful pop-up that appears from time to time. However, the contents of this window differ drastically from what you generally see in pop-up ads. Nindscity.com web page is controlled by fraudsters, who intendedly show hundreds and thousands of irrelevant ads in pop-ups.

As any other thing that touches illegal ads, Nindscity pop-up advertisements don’t have legit deals to offer. Even though hackers make the ads similar to ones from Walmart or Amazon, the website these ads 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.

#
# 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
