How to eliminate the advertisements delivered by news-gemara.cc site?

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

Similar to 761d.site, premium-shops-around.me, get-positive.net, and many others, news-gemara[.]cc is a rogue site. It operates by presenting visitors with questionable content and/or redirecting visitors to various (likely unreliable or malicious) webpages.

Users typically access rogue pages via redirects caused by untrustworthy websites, intrusive adverts, or PUAs (Potentially Unwanted Applications) already installed onto their devices.

News-gemara[.]cc in detail

Once news-gemara[.]cc is accessed, it checks the visitors' IP (Internet Protocol) addresses to learn their geolocations. This data determines whether visitors are presented with dubious material and/or redirected elsewhere.

Furthermore, most webpages of this type use deceptive content (e.g., clickbait, fake CAPTCHA, etc.) to trick visitors into allowing their browser notifications. News-gemara[.]cc is not an exception; it instructs to "Click Allow to watch the video". Should the notifications be enabled, news-gemara[.]cc will begin running intrusive advert campaigns.

The delivered ads are more than just a minor annoyance, as they also endanger device/user safety. Upon being clicked, the advertisements redirect to various untrustworthy/malicious websites, and some can download/install software (e.g., PUAs) stealthily.

Potentially unwanted application overview

PUAs appear legitimate and offer "handy" features, which are usually nonoperational. Instead of delivering on any promises, these apps can force-open sites, run intrusive ad campaigns, hijack browsers, and collect private information. In summary, the presence of PUAs on devices can lead to system infections, severe privacy issues, financial losses, and even identity theft.

How did adware install on my computer?

PUAs can be downloaded/installed together with other programs. This technique of packing regular software with various supplements - is termed "bundling". Rushed downloads/installations increase the risk of allowing bundled content into the system.

Once clicked on, the adverts can execute scripts to make downloads/installations without user permission. PUAs may also have "official" download pages.

How to avoid installation of potentially unwanted applications?

It is advised to research software and only download it from official/verified sources. Untrustworthy download channels, e.g., unofficial and freeware sites, Peer-to-Peer sharing networks, etc. - often offer bundled and harmful content.

When downloading/installing, it is recommended to read terms, explore possible options, use the "Custom/Advanced" settings, and opt-out from all additions. Intrusive ads appear legitimate, yet they redirect to questionable sites (e.g., gambling, pornography, adult-dating, etc.).

In case of encounters with such advertisements and/or redirects, the system must be checked and all suspicious 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.
