New-message.live shows pop-up ads
The New-message sites, such as New-message.co, promote fake competitions and giveaways that lead to subscription scams, coupon site signups, and similar scammy websites. They can be dangerous to your personal information and to your wallet.
However, New-message.live also behaves like a notification spammer – a site that sends pop-up ads to your browser which shows them in the corner of your screen.
It depends on how you got to New-message.live, what site lead you to it.
For the notification spammer site, New-message.live shows pop-up ads on people’s screens. It does this by using notifications, a feature that most browsers support. Notifications can be very useful: for example, they can notify you when you get a new personal message. Marketers love notifications because they can use them to show ads on your browser even when youre not on their site. As can malicious sites, such as New-message.live.
If you mistakenly allowed New-message.live to send notifications to your web browser, then this site may use this permission to spam your browser with unwanted ads: links to various affiliated sites. This can be very annoying. Some of New-message.live’s ads potentially lead to dangerous sites.
Effects on the browser by New-message.live
The ads by New-message.live appear in the corner of your screen if you’re on desktop and at the top if you’re on mobile. These ads are labeled with New-message.live’s name but they lead to other sites: to various affiliated sites that paid New-message.live to be promoted. These sites can be dubious optimizer programs, get-rich-quick scams, phishing scams, unregulated medicines, various fake news articles misusing celebrity images to promote some shady product, and other websites.
If you simply don’t click on New-message.live’s ads, if you just dismiss them, then they can’t hurt you. Even if you open the sites but do not download anything and do not fill out any forms, you’re still fine. A lot of malicious sites rely on tricking and manipulating people into downloading malware or giving away their personal information, as opposed to using some complicated programming tricks.
But the ads are still annoying. At worst, ads from New-message.live come once every few minutes. And they repeat all the time. Dismissing them wastes time and they won’t go away.
Sometimes, New-message.live’s ads are disguised as notifications from other sites:
- Ads made to look like email notifications.
- Notifications designed to look like social media updates, usually friend requests from beautiful women.
- Fake security notifications made to look like they’re sent by your own browser or even your own antivirus program.
- Fake missed call and SMS notifications.
All such ads may be sent by New-message.live to trick you into clicking on them. Again, there are no complicated tricks here – just deceptive visuals meant to excite or scare you. A trick commonly used by scammers.
