How to uninstall software causing redirects to news-mosuka.cc site?

What is the news-mosuka[.]cc site?

News-mosuka[.]cc is a rogue website sharing many similar traits with Serch, fewergkit.com, loloclicks.biz, substandid.space, and countless others. This page operates by loading questionable content and/or redirecting visitors to various sites (likely unreliable or malicious ones).

Rogue websites are rarely entered intentionally. Most users get redirected to them by untrustworthy webpages, intrusive advertisements, or installed PUAs (Potentially Unwanted Applications). These apps can infiltrate systems without explicit user permission.

News-mosuka[.]cc in detail

Rogue sites first check their visitor's IP (Internet Protocol) address to learn their geolocation. This information determines the page's further course of action. In other words, whether visitors are presented with dubious material and/or redirected elsewhere - depends on their geolocations.

Furthermore, websites of this type use deceptive content (e.g., clickbait, etc.) to trick users into allowing their browser notifications. This is true of news-mosuka[.]cc as well; should its notifications be enabled - it will start running intrusive advert campaigns.

The displayed advertisements are more than just a minor nuisance, they also pose a threat to device/user safety. Once clicked on, intrusive ads redirect to questionable/malicious sites, and some can download/install software (e.g., PUAs) without user consent.

How do potentially unwanted applications operate?

Potentially unwanted applications can have different functionalities, aside from force-opening webpages. What is more, these functions can be in varied combinations. PUAs can also deliver intrusive advertisement campaigns (adware) and modify browsers (browser hijackers).

Unwanted apps usually have data tracking abilities. Targeted information includes: URLs visited, pages viewed, search queries typed, IP addresses/ geolocations, personally identifiable details, etc. PUA developers monetize the data by sharing it with and/or sold to third-parties.

To summarize, the presence of unwanted software on devices can lead to system infections, serious privacy issues, financial losses, and even identity theft. Therefore, it is strongly recommended to remove all suspicious applications and browser extensions/plug-ins immediately upon detection.

Potentially unwanted applications in general

PUAs appear legitimate and offer a broad range of "handy" functions. However, the features are seldom operational. The sole aim of unwanted software is to generate profit for the developers; therefore, instead of delivering on any promises, PUAs can cause redirects, run intrusive ad campaigns, hijack browsers, and collect private data.

How did adware install on my computer?

PUAs can be downloaded/installed together with other programs. This deceptive marketing technique of packing regular products with unwanted/malicious additions - is termed "bundling". Rushed download/installation processes (e.g., ignored terms, skipped steps, etc.) increase the risk of unintentionally allowing bundled content into the device.

Intrusive advertisements are also used to proliferate PUAs as well. When clicked on, the ads can execute scripts to make downloads/installations stealthily. PUAs may have "official" promotional webpages from which they can be downloaded and/or purchased.

How to avoid installation of potentially unwanted applications?

It is advised to research software prior to download/installation and/or purchase. Additionally, only official and verified download channels must be used. Dubious sources, e.g., unofficial and free file-hosting websites, Peer-to-Peer sharing networks, and other third-party downloaders - often offer bundled and/or hazardous content.

Download/Installation processes must be treated with caution; that includes - reading terms, studying possible options, using "Custom/Advanced" settings, and opting-out from all additions. Intrusive advertisements appear legitimate; however, they redirect to various questionable sites (e.g., gambling, pornography, adult-dating, etc.).

In case of encounters with such ads and/or redirects, the device must be checked and all suspect applications and browser extensions/plug-ins detected - removed from it without delay. If your computer is already infected with rogue applications, we recommend running a scan with Combo Cleaner Antivirus for Windows to automatically eliminate them.
