How to eliminate the ads delivered by yourcoolfeed.com site?
Written by Tomas Meskauskas on (updated)
What is yourcoolfeed[.]com?
Yourcoolfeed[.]com is a rogue site akin to news-befuka.cc, hrougthatsidh.club, businesspayments.org, spdate.com, and thousands of others. It operates by loading questionable content and/or redirecting visitors to different (likely, untrustworthy or malicious) webpages.
Users typically enter rogue websites via redirects caused by suspect pages, intrusive adverts, or installed PUAs (Potentially Unwanted Applications).
Yourcoolfeed[.]com overview
The behavior of rogue sites is dictated by their visitors' IP addresses/ geolocations. Therefore, whether users are presented with dubious material and/or redirected elsewhere - depends on the aforementioned data.
Additionally, these websites typically use deceptive content (e.g., clickbait, fake CAPTCHA verification, etc.) to entice/scare visitors into allowing their browser notifications. Yourcoolfeed[.]com is not an exception; should its notifications be allowed - it will start delivering intrusive advert campaigns.
The displayed ads promote sale-oriented, rogue, deceptive/scam, and malicious websites. Furthermore, once clicked on, some intrusive advertisements can download/install software (e.g., PUAs) without user permission.

Potentially unwanted application overview
PUAs look legitimate and offer "advantageous" and "handy" features, which are seldom operational. Instead, these apps can cause redirects, run intrusive ad campaigns, hijack browsers, and gather private data. In summary, the presence of unwanted software on devices can lead to system infections, severe privacy issues, financial losses, and even identity theft.
How did potentially unwanted applications install on my computer?
PUAs can be downloaded/installed together with other programs. This false marketing tactic of packing regular software with various additions - is termed "bundling". Intrusive advertisements can download/install unwanted apps without user content - upon being clicked. Some PUAs also have "official" promotional and download webpages.
How to avoid installation of potentially unwanted applications?
It is highly recommended to research software and only download from official/verified sources. Untrustworthy download channels, e.g., unofficial and freeware websites, Peer-to-Peer sharing networks, etc. - often offer bundled content.
When downloading/installing, it is important to read terms, study possible options, and use the "Custom/Advanced" settings to opt-out of all supplements. Intrusive advertisements appear harmless, yet they redirect to various questionable sites (e.g., gambling, adult-dating, pornography, etc.).
In case of encounters with such ads and/or redirects, the system must be inspected and all dubious applications and browser extensions/plug-ins detected - immediately removed. If your computer is already infected with rogue applications, we recommend running a scan with Combo Cleaner Antivirus for Windows to automatically eliminate them.
