How Myniceposts.com works

It’s advertised online

Myniceposts.com is advertised online. It might show up on video streaming sites, file download websites, and similar sites – often those used for pirating. I first encountered Myniceposts.com while looking at Torrentmac.net, which is a torrenting site.

On these sites, Myniceposts.com shows up unexpectedly, without you having clicked on an ad knowingly. It opens in a new browser tab, telling you that you can “continue watching” but asking you to “Click the Allow button to subscribe to the push notifications”. If you follow the instruction and allow Myniceposts.com’s notifications, it loads another advertised site which leads to a dead end. You can close the browser tab and get back to browsing the web because Myniceposts.com was really just an ad, just like the related sites, such as Loglaupt.com.

Notifications are useful in many ways, but they’re used for advertising too often. As a result, browser developers have started hiding notification prompts (Digitalinformationworld.com).

It advertises on your screen

Notifications allow websites to talk to your browser even when those sites are not open. As a result, Myniceposts.com can display ads on your screen at any time:

• fake social media notifications that lead to phishing sites and paid app signups disguised as login screens,
• payday loan sites,
• fake security warnings and update alerts (Update Required!),
• browser hijackers that replace your home page and search engine settings,
• fake news articles that promote crypto trading scams like Bitcoin Revolution (Which.co.uk).

Not all ads by Myniceposts.com are like that. You can also get completely safe ads, often those for various online stores. Still, a lot of Myniceposts.com’s ads are potentially harmful.

Not to mention, most people probably don’t like getting ads on their screen from a website that does nothing for them. Myniceposts.com has no useful features or original content. Sure, if you visit the site, it has a lot of news articles – but they’re not original, they’re all taken from LA Times. Why does Myniceposts.com show ads? What does it need to monetize, besides the borrowed content? It’s just ad spam.

How to stop Myniceposts.com ads

It’s also possible to block notifications by waiting for one to appear, then clicking the settings button and selecting the option to block all future messages from the website that sent it.

Remove malware

Because Myniceposts.com and other related sites promote scams, potentially unwanted apps, and other dubious software, it’s important to check your device for them. To see if any dubious apps or programs were installed on your computer or phone.

You can use antivirus programs, such as Spyhunter for Windows, Combo Cleaner for macOS, and others. Let them scan your device and, if any potentially unwanted items are found, consider removing them.
