Go8news.biz is interconnected with several advertising networks that obtain the revenue by promoting third-party content. Some links advertised by this particular resource may be safe, whereas a great number of its ads may point you to the wide range of dangerous resources.

Go8news.biz attack behavior.

Investigating the manner in which go8news.biz attempts to force you into subscribing to its permanent notification reveals the similarity with lonkem.com, pushlat.com and soonersupor.pro previously reviewed by us. The initial occurrence of these alerts may be the result of the following events:

• visiting compromised (hacked) websites;
• clicking on spam links in emails from unknown addresses;
• uncontrolled browser redirections as a result of adware in your computer.

Many customers fairly complain that go8news.biz popped up in their screens unintentionally, without any obvious reason. The peculiarity of the pop-up attack is its ability to switch your browser into the full-screen mode. This way, it is more complicated for you to open other blank tabs, therefore, the pop-up attempts to make you concentrate on its suspicious content. For example, it displays the following faulty messages:

• Go8news.biz wants to Show notifications. Press Allow to verify, that you are not robot;
• Press “Allow” to watch the video;
• Press “Allow” to verify your age.

These fake alerts may sound convincing for some groups of customers, especially those who do not deal too much with computers. Sometimes the message delivered by go8news.biz may sound even more frustrating, such as the need to click on the “Allow” button to fix the Internet connection issue.

Obeying the above-said instructions given by go8news.biz immediately results in browser hijacking.

Many cost-free applications are by default integrated with third-party programs, whereas the information about other extras in the bundle is often not properly disclosed. You ought to carefully investigate the information provided during the setup, making sure to choose the “Advanced” or “Custom” installation where you may easily deselect all additional software you do not need. This way, your system will be protected from unauthorized intrusion f adware-type apps.
