News-back.net is an unsafe website designed to deliver undesired push notifications straight to users' computers. News-back.net achieves its goal by displaying a deceptive pop-up message to its visitors:
'News-back.net wants to Show notifications
Press Allow to watch the video'
This text claims the user needs to accept News-back.net's browser notifications to view a video on the website. This is a well-known social engineering trick, but unfortunately, many users still fall into it. After clicking the "Allow" button on News-back.net, users start receiving intrusive advertisements, pop-ups, and banners about adult pages, unsafe applications, fake software updates, online games, etc.
The appearance of News-back.net's advertisements also could signal an adware infection. Adware is a program that redirects users to potentially unsafe pages by modifying the browser settings on the infected computer and setting a fake search engine as its homepage, default search engine, and new tab URL for the affected browser. In many cases, browser hijackers like News-back.net also can collect the user's data, which may create serious privacy issues for the user.
