Stop your browser from opening news-jupiter.com

What is news-jupiter[.]com?
news-jupiter[.]com operates like many other untrustworthy websites of this type including videommm[.]pro, mediasvideo[.]world, and folmetor[.]com. Typically, these sites are opened by potentially unwanted applications (PUAs) installed on browsers or computers, or through deceptive ads.
In any case, most people do not open them intentionally. When visited, news-jupiter[.]com displays dubious content or opens other untrustworthy websites. Additionally, most PUAs gather details relating to users and feed them with unwanted, intrusive ads.
news-jupiter[.]com displays dubious content or causes redirects to other (about two or three) rogue web pages. Its actions depend on the visitor's IP address. This website uses a 'clickbait' technique to trick people into allowing it to show unwanted notifications (including advertisements).
It displays pop-up windows, asking to prove that the visitor is a human, or other similar pop-ups that give permission to show notifications. When news-jupiter[.]com opens additional web pages, it usually opens untrustworthy sites used to advertise other dubious, potentially malicious websites.
PUAs that open sites such as news-jupiter[.]com usually record information such as users' IP addresses, addresses of visited websites, entered search queries, geolocations, etc. In most cases, developers share the data with third parties (potentially cyber criminals) who misuse it to generate revenue.
Additionally, PUAs might be designed to display ads (coupons, banners, surveys, pop-ups, and so on). If clicked, these lead to untrustworthy websites or run scripts that download or even install unwanted apps. Do not click these ads.

PUAs are advertised as useful and legitimate apps that supposedly provide various 'features' or other value, however, most do not operate as advertised. Developers use them to gather data, force people to visit dubious websites and feed them with intrusive, often deceptive ads.
Installed PUAs can lead to problems relating to privacy, browsing safety, or even identity theft. You are strongly advised to uninstall all PUAs from the browser or operating system immediately.
How did adware install on my computer?
In most cases, people download and/or install PUAs by clicking intrusive, deceptive advertisements, or when software developers trick them using a deceptive marketing method called "bundling". This method helps them to trick people into downloading and installing PUAs together with other regular software.
Generally, developers include PUAs in the set-ups of other programs and hide this information in settings such as "Custom", "Advanced", "Manual", and so on. Note that inadvertent downloads/installations usually happen when people leave available settings unchecked and unchanged.
How to avoid installation of potentially unwanted applications
All software and files should be downloaded from official websites and using direct links. Do not use third party downloaders/installers, Peer-to-Peer networks such as torrent clients, eMule, or other similar channels, since they can be used to proliferate unwanted or even malicious software.
Download and install software properly: dismiss offers to download or install additional software before finishing any download or installation process. Do not click intrusive ads, especially if they are displayed on dubious web pages relating to gambling, adult dating, pornography, etc.
These ads redirect users to untrustworthy websites or start unwanted downloads/installations. To stop browsers from showing ads or opening dubious pages, remove all unwanted apps (extensions, add-ons, plug-ins) that are installed on the browser and programs of this type installed on the operating system.
If your computer is already infected with rogue applications, we recommend running a scan with Combo Cleaner Antivirus for Windows to automatically eliminate them.

How to avoid browser notification spam?
Internet users should be very skeptical when being asked to allow notifications. While this is a useful feature that allows you to receive timely news from websites you like, deceptive marketers frequently abuse it.
Only allow notifications from websites that you fully trust. For added security - use an anti-malware application with a real-time web browsing monitor to block shady websites that tries to trick you into allowing spam notifications. We recommend using Combo Cleaner Antivirus for Windows.
