Why am I seeing the Umxs.xyz pop-up ads?
You are seeing the Umxs.xyz advertisements because your device is infected with malware, malicious push notifications, or a site you have visited has redirected your browser.

- Your web browser’s homepage has mysteriously changed without your permission.
- Web pages that you typically visit are not displaying properly.
