How to stop ads from World-Topnews.xyz

Disable the pop-up ads

Open your web browser (the one that’s showing the World-Topnews.xyz ads), then navigate to notification settings:

• Chrome – open Settings, scroll down to Site settings (under Privacy and security), click on Notifications.
• Edge (Chromium) – open Settings, click Site Permissions, Notifications.
• Firefox – open Settings, Privacy & Security, scroll down to Permissions, and click on Settings next to Notifications.
• Safari – in the Safari menu, choose Preferences, Websites, Notifications.

Find World-Topnews.xyz in the list of sites that are allowed to send you notifications. Then, block it.

Remove malicious software

Scan your device with an antivirus program, such as Spyhunter for Windows, Combo Cleaner for macOS, and other reliable antivirus programs. If they find something suspicious on your device, then it might be best to remove that item.

This is important because sites like World-Topnews.xyz show a lot of unsafe ads and promote websites that spread unwanted software. If something was downloaded on your device by an ad shown by World-Topnews.xyz, then it’s likely that that item was unwanted.

In addition, you should check what browser extensions are installed on your web browser. World-Topnews.xyz may advertise newtab viruses and search hijackers that can really mess with your online experience.

How World-Topnews.xyz hijacks browsers

Browser notifications need permission

World-Topnews.xyz is advertised online, often by other adware viruses (such as Loglaupt.com) and by websites that allow malicious ads (such as GoGoAnime). It appears as a new webpage in a new browser tab.

In order to be able to send notification ads, World-Topnews.xyz needs permission. So, it asks your browser to show the notification prompt: a little message asking you if you want to allow World-Topnews.xyz to show notifications.

You might want to allow them on sites that you do wish to receive updates from. Examples include social media sites, email clients, and online stores that you frequent. Not on World-Topnews.xyz, though – this site has nothing useful to offer.

World-Topnews.xyz lies to its visitors

So, World-Topnews.xyz shows its notification prompt, and then tells you to click the “Allow” button that will enable it to show you ads. But it lies about what the button does:

• “Click Allow to play the video”
• “Click Allow to start downloading”
• “Click Allow to win a prize and get it in our shop!”
• “Click the button Allow to access”

Some of these ads fit in so well with the websites that advertise them (for instance, the audio file download ad might be shown on a converter site), that it is very easy to fall for the deception.

Some web browsers have hidden the prompt by default and others have given you the option to do that so as to curb notification spam.

Malicious and unwanted ads

The ads shown by World-Topnews.xyz appear periodically on your screen, either in the corner (if you’re on desktop or laptop), or at the top (if you are using a mobile device). These ads are labeled with the name of the website that sent them.

You can actually disable the ads right from one of the pop-ups: there’s a button on each of the ads.

And there’s good reason to disable them. The pop-ups, besides being annoying, can also be dangerous:

• They might lead to scam sites, including get-rich-quick scams, subscription scams (Amoviemedia.com), and tech support scams (Trojan Detected!).
• They can also promote other adware, such as related sites (Lue-news5.club, Rex-news.net) and various hijackers and programs.
• These ads can often be inappropriate for children, especially the ads for online casinos and adult videos.

While not all ads that World-Topnews.xyz displays are bad, too many are.
