News-gg.com

Posted: September 23, 2020

If your Web browser notifications have been hijacked by News-gg.com, then you most likely see dozens of unwanted browser notifications every time you try to browse your favorite website. Despite what News-gg.com's name implies, you can rest assured that this website has nothing to do with the latest news and updates from around the world – instead, its sole purpose is to deliver advertisements to you.

The News-gg.com notifications do not possess content that you should trust or interact with because they may often promote shady products, services and Web pages. Another thing worth noting is that the News-gg.com notifications may often display fake virus alerts and warnings, which are meant to get you involved in technical support tactics.

But how does News-gg.com hijack notifications? Usually, this happens when the user interacts with a random News-gg.com pop-up that shows up in their browser while browsing non-trustworthy pages. News-gg.com's pop-up messages say that users have to click 'Allow' to continue browsing, but, in reality, this button grants News-gg.com permissions to use browser notifications. To revert this change, you need to limit News-gg.com's permissions through your browser settings.
