news-yanuhi.com is a highly questionable website that pushes a social engineering scam to trick users into allowing ads on the desktop. When you get redirected to the site, you will immediately get a browser alert saying “news-yanuhi.com wants to show notification”. If you click “Allow”, you will allow the site to spam ads.
The only thing news-yanuhi.com has on it is a fake video player and a message saying you need to press “Allow” to watch the video. Your browser will also show you a browser alert saying “news-yanuhi.com wants to show notifications”. If you click “Allow”, the site will be authorized to show ads directly to your desktop. Since this feature is legitimate, legitimate sites show legitimate notifications. However, news-yanuhi.com simply spams ads. We do not recommend interacting with those ads because you could be exposed to harmful content, including scams and malware.
The feature that the site is misusing is completely legitimate, so you can give sites permission to show notifications as long as they will show you safe content. The feature may even be useful in some cases. If you, for example, want to see important news without having to visit a news website, you can give your preferred news site permission to show notifications.
You can easily revoke a site’s permission to show notifications as long as you know how to navigate your browser’s settings. If you need help with revoking the site’s permission, you can use the instructions provided at the end of the report.
What triggers redirects to sites like news-yanuhi.com
When users get redirected to questionable websites, it’s usually because they browse high-risk sites without an adblocker. These high-risk websites try to expose users to large amounts of advertisement content by redirecting users. Sites that have pornographic or pirated content, for example, are great examples of this, as they trigger redirects nonstop. Fortunately, these redirects can be easily blocked with a decent adblocker program.
Being redirected when on safe websites could mean adware is present on your computer. It’s not a dangerous infection but the ads it exposes you to will be very annoying. These infections get installed via the free software bundling method. They can be attached to free programs as extra offers and permitted to be installed without requiring explicit permission. Because of how deceptive it is, the method is quite controversial. It’s not uncommon for programs that use it to be detected as potential threats by anti-virus programs.
All added offers are optional and preventing their installations is not difficult, provided you pay attention when installing free programs. When installing a program, always use Advanced (Custom) settings. Though the installation window will recommend you use Default settings, if you follow this advice, all of the added offers will be installed automatically. Advanced settings, on the other hand, will make all offers visible. Those settings will also give you the option to deselect all of them. All you need to do is uncheck the boxes.
Allowing extra offers to be installed is a bad idea, even if some of them initially appear useful. If you allow these offers to install, you will fill your computer with junk programs that can be troublesome to get rid of when fully installed. It’s significantly easier and much less time-consuming to just uncheck a couple of boxes when installing free programs.
How to stop news-yanuhi.com redirects
It’s a good idea to scan your computer with an anti-virus program to check for an adware infection. If you are redirected to news-yanuhi.com and similar sites regularly, it may be a sign of adware.
