It is categorized as a potentially unwanted program (PUP) and browser hijacker.<\/p>\n<p class=\"whitespace-pre-wrap\">The site works by deceiving visitors into enabling push notifications through the use of fake system warnings and alerts. For example, it may display a fake notification claiming your browser is &#8220;out of date&#8221; and you need to &#8220;allow notifications&#8221; to update it.<\/p><div id=\"mwtad1912932477\" class=\"gas_fallback-ad_381396-ad_309691-placement_360566\" style=\"margin-top: 30px;margin-bottom: 30px;\"><script async src=\"\/\/pagead2.googlesyndication.com\/pagead\/js\/adsbygoogle.js?client=ca-pub-7750719144850257\" crossorigin=\"anonymous\"><\/script><ins class=\"adsbygoogle\" style=\"display:block;\" data-ad-client=\"ca-pub-7750719144850257\" \ndata-ad-slot=\"1471373341\" \ndata-ad-format=\"auto\" data-full-width-responsive=\"true\"><\/ins>\n<script> \n(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}); \n<\/script>\n<\/div>\n<p class=\"whitespace-pre-wrap\">However, allowing notifications does nothing to update your browser. Instead, it gives News-Lilofo.cc permission to send push notification spam directly to your desktop or mobile device.<\/p>\n<p class=\"whitespace-pre-wrap\">Once enabled, News-Lilofo.cc will constantly bombard your device with inappropriate pop-up ads, even when your browser is closed. The spam push notifications promote things like:<\/p>\n<ul class=\"list-disc pl-8 space-y-2\">\n<li class=\"whitespace-normal\">Adult and dating content<\/li>\n<li class=\"whitespace-normal\">Freemium games and apps<\/li>\n<li class=\"whitespace-normal\">Software update scams<\/li>\n<li class=\"whitespace-normal\">Weight loss or brain enhancement supplements<\/li>\n<li class=\"whitespace-normal\">Other dubious products and services<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p class=\"whitespace-pre-wrap\">By tricking users into approving push notifications, News-Lilofo.cc can completely bypass browser pop-up blockers and directly spam devices system-wide. The malicious pop-ups are obtrusive and difficult to close. Some even use alarming language to get users to click through and potentially install malware.<\/p><div id=\"mwtad3675025185\" class=\"gas_fallback-ad_309686-ad_309691-placement_360569\" style=\"margin-top: 30px;margin-bottom: 30px;\"><script async src=\"\/\/pagead2.googlesyndication.com\/pagead\/js\/adsbygoogle.js?client=ca-pub-7750719144850257\" crossorigin=\"anonymous\"><\/script><ins class=\"adsbygoogle\" style=\"display:block;\" data-ad-client=\"ca-pub-7750719144850257\" \ndata-ad-slot=\"6935453015\" \ndata-ad-format=\"auto\" data-full-width-responsive=\"true\"><\/ins>\n<script> \n(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}); \n<\/script>\n<\/div>\n<p>Here is how the News-Lilofo.cc pop-up ads look on a Windows computer:<\/p>\n<div id='gallery-1' class='gallery galleryid-220884 gallery-columns-3 gallery-size-large'><figure class='gallery-item'>\n\t\t\t<div class='gallery-icon landscape'>\n\t\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" width=\"896\" height=\"885\" src=\"https:\/\/malwaretips.com\/blogs\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/Spam-Ads-3.jpg\" class=\"attachment-large size-large\" alt=\"Spam Ads 3\" srcset=\"https:\/\/malwaretips.com\/blogs\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/Spam-Ads-3.jpg 896w, https:\/\/malwaretips.com\/blogs\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/Spam-Ads-3-300x296.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 896px) 100vw, 896px\" title=\"\">\n\t\t\t<\/div><\/figure><figure class='gallery-item'>\n\t\t\t<div class='gallery-icon portrait'>\n\t\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" width=\"893\" height=\"925\" src=\"https:\/\/malwaretips.com\/blogs\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/Spam-Ads-2.jpg\" class=\"attachment-large size-large\" alt=\"Spam Ads 2\" srcset=\"https:\/\/malwaretips.com\/blogs\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/Spam-Ads-2.jpg 893w, https:\/\/malwaretips.com\/blogs\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/Spam-Ads-2-290x300.jpg 290w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 893px) 100vw, 893px\" title=\"\">\n\t\t\t<\/div><\/figure><figure class='gallery-item'>\n\t\t\t<div class='gallery-icon portrait'>\n\t\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" width=\"381\" height=\"407\" src=\"https:\/\/malwaretips.com\/blogs\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/Spam-Notifications-Ads-2.jpg\" class=\"attachment-large size-large\" alt=\"Spam Notifications Ads 2\" srcset=\"https:\/\/malwaretips.com\/blogs\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/Spam-Notifications-Ads-2.jpg 381w, https:\/\/malwaretips.com\/blogs\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/Spam-Notifications-Ads-2-281x300.jpg 281w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 381px) 100vw, 381px\" title=\"\">\n\t\t\t<\/div><\/figure>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\n<div id=\"mwtad3878344218\" class=\"gas_fallback-ad_309747-ad_309691-placement_360587\" style=\"margin-top: 30px;margin-bottom: 30px;\"><script async src=\"\/\/pagead2.googlesyndication.com\/pagead\/js\/adsbygoogle.js?client=ca-pub-7750719144850257\" crossorigin=\"anonymous\"><\/script><ins class=\"adsbygoogle\" style=\"display:block;\" data-ad-client=\"ca-pub-7750719144850257\" \ndata-ad-slot=\"9589536513\" \ndata-ad-format=\"auto\" data-full-width-responsive=\"true\"><\/ins>\n<script> \n(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}); \n<\/script>\n<\/div><h2 class=\"mt_title\">Why am I seeing the News-Lilofo.cc pop-up ads?<\/h2>\n<p class=\"whitespace-pre-wrap\">If you suddenly start seeing a barrage of intrusive News-Lilofo.cc pop-up ads on your desktop or mobile device, it means you unfortunately enabled push notifications for the site at some point.<\/p>\n<p class=\"whitespace-pre-wrap\">News-Lilofo.cc is able to spam users with disruptive pop-up ads through the following tactics:<\/p><div id=\"mwtad872272119\" class=\"gas_fallback-ad_381401-ad_309691-placement_360573\" style=\"margin-top: 30px;margin-bottom: 30px;\"><script async src=\"\/\/pagead2.googlesyndication.com\/pagead\/js\/adsbygoogle.js?client=ca-pub-7750719144850257\" crossorigin=\"anonymous\"><\/script><ins class=\"adsbygoogle\" style=\"display:block;\" data-ad-client=\"ca-pub-7750719144850257\" \ndata-ad-slot=\"5315249587\" \ndata-ad-format=\"auto\" data-full-width-responsive=\"true\"><\/ins>\n<script> \n(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}); \n<\/script>\n<\/div>\n<ul class=\"list-disc pl-8 space-y-2\">\n<li class=\"whitespace-normal\">Fake error prompts &#8211; The site displays system warnings such as &#8220;Your browser is out of date!&#8221; that urge you to &#8220;Allow Notifications&#8221; to fix the supposed error.
