How to uninstall apps force-opening the news-tabiva.cc website?

What is the news-tabiva[.]cc website?

News-tabiva[.]cc is a rogue site designed to load questionable content and/or redirect visitors to other (likely untrustworthy or malicious) webpages. There are thousands of such websites on the Internet; my-live-videos-4u.com, click-this-special.video, antom.xyz, rcgaxg.com - are just some examples.

Users rarely intentionally access such sites. Most enter them via redirects caused by suspect pages, intrusive adverts, or installed PUAs (Potentially Unwanted Applications). This software can infiltrate devices and subsequently force-open websites, run intrusive advertisement campaigns, and collect browsing-related data.

News-tabiva[.]cc in detail

The behavior of rogue sites is determined by their visitors' geolocations, and this applies to news-tabiva[.]cc as well. The webpages learn this information by checking users' IP (Internet Protocol) addresses. Therefore, whether visitors are presented with dubious material and/or get redirected elsewhere - depends on their geolocations.

Additionally, most pages of this type employ deceptive content to trick users into allowing their browser notifications. news-tabiva[.]cc uses clickbait for this purpose - "The video cannot be displayed! Perhaps your browser does not allow you to play the video. Click 'Allow' to watch the video"; should its notifications be enabled, the site will start running intrusive ad campaigns.

The delivered advertisements can be misleading, unreliable, and even dangerous. They promote sale-based, untrustworthy, deceptive/scam, and even malicious webpages. Some intrusive adverts can download/install software (e.g., PUAs) - when they are clicked on.

How do potentially unwanted applications operate?

Potentially unwanted applications can have harmful functionalities. Furthermore, these functions can be in different combinations. For example, these apps can force-open websites and/or deliver intrusive advertisement campaigns. What is more, PUAs typically have data tracking abilities.

They record browsing activity (URLs visited, pages viewed, search queries typed, etc.) and gather sensitive information extracted from it (IP addresses/ geolocations, personally identifiable details, etc.). PUA developers monetize the collected data by sharing it with and/or selling it to third-parties (potentially, cyber criminals).

To summarize, the presence of unwanted software on devices can result in system infections, severe privacy issues, financial losses, and even identity theft. It is highly recommended to eliminate all suspicious applications and browser extensions/plug-ins without delay.

Potentially unwanted applications in general

PUAs usually appear legitimate and offer various features. However, the advertised functions are seldom operational. The only goal of unwanted apps is to generate revenue for the developers; hence, functionality and user safety are irrelevant. PUAs are designed to cause redirects, run intrusive advert campaigns, and collect private information.

How did adware install on my computer?

PUAs can be downloaded/installed together with other software. This false marketing tactic of packing regular software with unwanted or malicious additions - is termed "bundling". Rushed downloads/installations (e.g.., ignored terms, used pre-set options, etc.) increase the risk of allowing bundled content into the system.

Intrusive advertisements are used to proliferate PUAs as well. Once clicked on, the ads can execute scripts to download/install these applications without user permission. Some PUAs have "official" promotional sites from which they can be downloaded.

How to avoid installation of potentially unwanted applications?

It is recommended to research software before download/installation. Only official and verified download channels must be used. Untrustworthy sources, e.g., unofficial and free file-hosting websites, Peer-to-Peer sharing networks, and other third-party downloaders - commonly offer bundled and harmful content.

When downloading/installing, it is important to read terms, explore possible options, use the "Custom/Advanced" settings, and opt-out from additional apps, tools, etc. Intrusive advertisements appear legitimate; however, they redirect various questionable sites (e.g., gambling, pornography, adult-dating, and so on).

In case of encounters with such ads and/or redirects, the system must be checked and all dubious applications and browser extensions/plug-ins detected - immediately removed from it. If your computer is already infected with rogue applications, we recommend running a scan with Combo Cleaner Antivirus for Windows to automatically eliminate them.
