News-Detiju.cc shows a fake video player and tries to trick visitors into allowing ads on their screens. It does so by misusing a legitimate browser feature that allows sites to show users useful notifications directly on their screens. When you get redirected to the site, you will see a browser alert saying “News-Detiju.cc wants to show notifications”. However, instead of useful content, News-Detiju.cc and similar sites spam ads. Not only are those ads annoying to deal with, but they could also be dangerous to interact with.

 

News-Detiju.cc ads

 

When you get redirected to News-Detiju.cc, all you will see is a fake video player and a message saying the video cannot be played because your browser does not allow playback. To watch the video, the site recommends allowing notifications. However, if you do click “Allow” on “News-Detiju.cc wants to show notifications” alert, no video will start playing, but you will start getting ads on your screen. It’s essentially a deceptive technique to trick users into allowing ads. This strategy might work on users who were redirected while attempting to stream copyrighted content for free.

You will start seeing highly questionable ads on your screen if you allow the site to display notifications. The ads may promote dubious or even dangerous programs as well as scams. Avoid interacting with any pop-up alerts if you have granted News-Detiju.cc permission to display notifications. Fortunately, you can easily stop these notifications in your browser’s settings. If you don’t know how to do that, use the instructions provided at the end of this report.

Giving websites you trust permission to display notifications is safe because this is a legitimate feature. You may even find the feature useful if you frequently visit certain websites and wish to access the content they publish more conveniently. If you frequently visit a news website, for instance, you can allow it to show notifications so that you can get the most recent news directly on your screen without needing to visit the site.

You might need to run a virus check on your computer to determine what causes the redirects. Your computer might have adware installed if you find yourself getting redirected regularly. And using an anti-virus tool would make removing adware the easiest option. The high-risk websites you visit are, nevertheless, the most likely trigger for the redirects. A simple solution to this is to use an adblocker program.

What triggers random redirects

There are a number of reasons why you may be redirected to dubious websites. Those who often visit risky websites are randomly redirected the most. Interacting with anything on certain sites (e.g. those that host pirated or pornographic content) frequently triggers redirects. But as we’ve already mentioned, an adblocker program can easily fix this.

Adware infections can also occasionally cause redirects. Adware is a pretty minor infection when compared to other malware like trojans and ransomware. Nonetheless, dealing with it can be quite frustrating. Adware and browser hijackers are most commonly distributed via the software bundling method. Free software frequently comes with additional offers like adware and hijackers. These offers are allowed to install automatically without requiring users’ permission. For obvious reasons, software bundling is a fairly controversial installation method. And it’s not uncommon for anti-virus programs to flag programs that use it as potential threats.

Despite the fact that the offers are optional, users must still explicitly uncheck them if they do not want them to install. Yet, many people do not see the offers and are unable to deselect them since they are concealed in settings users don’t usually use. If you learn how to correctly install free software, this shouldn’t be a problem. The most crucial step is to choose Advanced (Custom) settings rather than Default when given the option. If you choose to install programs using Default settings as advised by the installation window, all added offers will be permitted to install. If you choose Advanced options, the offers will become visible, and you will have the option to deselect all of them.

Even if an offer initially sounds useful, it is not advisable to let it install. If you permit these meaningless installations, your computer will be clogged with a variety of troublesome unwanted programs. While they’re not malicious, infections like adware can be quite troublesome to remove. Just unchecking a few boxes during installation is considerably easier.
