Alltopnewz.com is a questionable website created to deliver unwanted advertisements to users' computers directly or redirect users to other unsafe pages. Users do not open Alltopnewz.com intentionally but get redirected to this page by a Potentially Unwanted Application (PUA) installed on their computers. Such PUAs are, for example, adware and browser hijackers, which is Alltopnewz.com duty. Their harmful features include displaying corrupted advertisements and notifications, redirecting to infected Internet pages or files, or collecting the user's data.
When a user visits Alltopnewz.com, the website figures out the user's geolocation by checking the IP address. Depending on that, it redirects the user to other pages that are also part of the advertisings tactic or displays various banners and advertisements that also may contain corrupted scripts. In addition, Alltopnewz.com shows a misleading text message with an "Allow" button, trying to convince users that they need to click on that button and subscribe to browser notifications to view the website's content.
PUAs usually spread through a method known as "bundling," and should be removed immediately through an automatic malware removal tool. Although they may appear harmless, in fact, they represent a severe threat to the user's cybersecurity.
