Fres-news.com Ads
Fres-news.com is a website that attempts to trick people into allowing the generation of sponsored content in their browsers. Typically, the annoying ads generated by Fres-news.com appear as pop-ups. You can start to see them every time you open the affected browser. However, these ads can be so intrusive that they can appear even when your browser is closed.
What is causing Fres-news.com pop-up ads in the browser? A reasonable explanation is that you visit other poorly secured websites and use suspicious online services. However, in many cases, Fres-news.com pop-up ads start to load in the browser as a result of an unnoticed installation of a potentially unwanted application. The spread of potentially unwanted programs like the one that may be associated with Fres-news.com ads is mainly realized via the so-called software bundling technique.
Software bundles are regular apps that feature added extras in their installers. Since the information about these extras is rarely disclosed properly, many people fall victim to this trap and install the extras without noticing them. The good news is that the Advanced/Custom configuration step may contain information about all installer’s components and provide an opt-out option for all undesired apps. This will eventually prevent their unnoticed installation.
The moment, Fres-news.com ads appear in the browser, you will see a pop-up with the following text on it:
Will you allow Fres-news.com to send notifications?
