Ads by the Yoursciv.com site are not trustworthy either. At best, those will be completely unrelated banners, that will still be irritating taking into account their frequency. Though, more common cases include advertisements of mysterious deals with 90% off, adult web pages ads or deception attempts. Presented here are some of the classic patterns for pop-up spam:

Due to the unlawful marketing model of Yoursciv.com, no lawful companies will actually utilize their advertisement services. Instead, the whole array of subjects I’ve delineated above is managed by the same fraudulent persons as those who are responsible for Yoursciv. Occasionally, upon interaction with the push ad, you might be thrown to another page that suggests activating pop-up advertisements. The activity of several sources of pop-ups can transform your web browser into an pathway of a pop-up surge.
Where did Yoursciv pop-ups come from?
The primary and most common method to access the pop-up spamming site is to browse content on warez sites, pages containing pirated content, and equivalent platforms. The people responsible for such questionable venues aim to offset expenses via redirects, often as a advertising maneuver. This type of redirection is commonly known as an “anti-bot verification”.
A further plausible source of pop-up advertisements is adware, currently active inside of your system. It modifies browser settings in a manner so it begins displaying Yoursciv pop-ups without your consent. However, this scenario is relatively rare, as such malware employs its own, more effective method to showcasing advertisements.
Are Yoursciv pop-up notifications dangerous?
Yes, they are. Initially, they may look harmless – just a colourful window that appears from time to time. However, the contents of this window differ drastically from what you generally see in pop-up advertisements. Yoursciv.com web page is ruled by fraudsters, who intentionally show hundreds of irrelevant ads in pop-ups. They also don’t follow any common sense and can make sporadic pop-ups into a storm of promotions. For weak systems, that may be enough to cause performance issues. But that is not all troubles these pop-up ads carry.

As with any other thing that touches illegal advertising, Yoursciv pop-up ads don’t have legit offers. Even when crooks make the banners similar to ones from Amazon, Walmart or Ebay, 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, Yoursciv 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.
