Potentially unwanted applications in general
It is worth mentioning that pages like premium-news-for[.]me usually use some clickbait technique to trick visitors into agreeing to receive their notifications. Most of these pages are promoted through PUAs, shady advertisements, or other dubious pages.
How did adware install on my computer?
Most users download and install PUAs together with other programs, by clicking on certain advertisements, pop-ups, or using fake installers. Downloaders and installers for programs bundled with PUAs have "Custom", "Advanced", or similar settings. Those settings have to be changed to avoid unwanted downloads or installations.
Advertisements can cause unexpected downloads or installations when they are designed to execute specific scripts. They cannot do that unless they are clicked.
How to avoid installation of potentially unwanted applications?
Download software and files from official websites and via direct links. Do not download or install programs without checking their downloaders or installers for "Advanced", "Manual, "Custom" or other settings, or ticked checkboxes. Avoid clicking on advertisements displayed by/on dubious pages.
If your computer is already infected with rogue applications, we recommend running a scan with Combo Cleaner Antivirus for Windows to automatically eliminate them.
