The primary purpose of news-ciheca.com is to deceive users into enabling desktop advertisements. The site itself has nothing on it besides a prompt saying you need to click “Allow” to confirm you are not a robot. Upon visiting the site, a browser notification appears saying “news-ciheca.com wants to show notifications”. Keep in mind that if you click “Allow”, advertisements will begin appearing on your desktop. The biggest issue with this is that the ads may imitate legitimate system notifications, causing confusion and potentially leading you to interact with them. Such interactions could expose you to harmful content, including malware or scams.

If permissions have already been granted to this site, you need to avoid interacting with these notifications and promptly revoke the site’s permissions. Step-by-step instructions for revoking a site’s permissions are provided at the end of this report.

Adware may be the underlying cause of these redirects, so performing a scan using WiperSoft is a good idea. If adware is detected, WiperSoft can effectively remove it. Additionally, installing an adblocker program is a good idea.

Redirects to sites like news-ciheca.com may be triggered by adware

Certain websites, particularly those that have adult or pirated content, frequently spam users with advertisements and redirect them to random sites like news-ciheca.com. These sites generate revenue by showing users excessive ads. Fortunately, any reliable ad blocker can effectively block both ads and redirects, significantly improving your browsing experience.

Frequent redirects can be a sign of adware on your device. They should also be accompanied by an increase in regular ads. Adware and browser hijackers often sneak in through software bundling, where unwanted programs are added to free programs as extra offers. While these offers are technically optional, they’re usually set to install by default alongside the main program. To avoid installing them, you need to manually deselect these offers. However, they’re hidden in settings most users do not check, making it tricky to opt out unless users pay close attention.

To prevent unwanted programs, you just need to select the correct settings when installing free programs. Default settings install all bundled offers automatically, while Advanced settings let you review and decline extra offers. Letting these junk programs install will clutter your computer, and many antivirus programs flag bundled programs as potential threats.
