How to remove Urgent-incoming.email ads

Unwanted notifications

Urgent-incoming.email is a website, so it’s not exactly an infection on your computer. If you are seeing annoying pop-up ads that are labeled with “Urgent-incoming.email”, then there’s a setting in your browser where Urgent-incoming.email has been added to a list of websites that are allowed to send updates to you.

Notification settings define whether a website is blocked from sending notifications or allowed to do it.

When you visit a website, such as Urgent-incoming.email, that wants to send notifications to your browser, it shows a pop-up that says “Urgent-incoming.email wants to show notifications” and you can choose to click Allow, Block, or close the pop-up.

Block notifications in browser settings

You can also manage these settings in your browser:

• Chrome – type “chrome://settings/content/notifications” in the address box.
• Safari – in the Safari menu, choose Preferences, Websites, Notifications.
• Edge (Chromium) – type “edge://settings/content/notifications” in the address box.
• Firefox – open Settings, Privacy & Security, scroll down to Permissions, and click on Settings next to Notifications.

Find Urgent-incoming.email, click the button next to it, and in the drop-down, select Block. Repeat the same for all the sites that you want to block, like Pushails.com, Check-this-out-now.online, Click-on-this.today, etc.

You can also block the pop-ups as they show up by clicking the gear icon button.

Remove malware

If you want to check your computer for malware and potentially unwanted programs, scan it with an anti-malware program, such as Combo Cleaner for macOS, Spyhunter for Windows, and others. This might be a good idea, as Urgent-incoming.email promotes some junkware and various dangerous sites. If you think you might have accidentally downloaded some of them, scan your device and check your recently installed programs.

How Urgent-incoming.email cheats people

Lies about the Allow button

As I said earlier, the little pop-ups that Urgent-incoming.email displays are notifications. And the reason that Urgent-incoming.email can send them to your browser is that you clicked the Allow when Urgent-incoming.email asked. Or maybe a malicious program or browser extension on your computer messed with your notification settings.

When Urgent-incoming.email appears, it says:

Click “Allow” to close this window

This window an be closed by pressing “Allow”. If you wish to continue browsing this website just click the more info button

Right, so Urgent-incoming.email is lying to people about what the notification pop-up does. That’s how it gets them to unwittingly subscribe to Urgent-incoming.email’s advertising spam. That is also why browser developers look for ways to make notification requests less intrusive, so that they can’t be used by scammers so easily.

Shows low-quality ads

Although some of the ads that Urgent-incoming.email shows are okay, others are dangerous and even malicious. I got MacKeeper, a lottery scam, and a bunch of other advertising spam sites. Here are the kinds of ads that you might see shown by Urgent-incoming.email:

• Fake social media notifications that lead to adult entertainment sites (also, the site’s name is “Urgent incoming email”, which can be a little tricky to parse without thinking that you actually got an urgent email).
• $1 phone scams that lead to subscription sites.
• Fake virus warnings that lead to tech support scams.
• Adware and browser hijackers disguised as useful programs.

Not to mention various potentially unwanted ads, such as browser games that have predatory microtransactions, dishonest and alarmist VPN ads, etc.

The worst thing about Urgent-incoming.email’s ads is just how annoying they are. Urgent-incoming.email doesn’t do anything useful, it has no justification for forcing its ads on people. It’s just hijacking their screen space. And it makes money from this.

How it spreads

But how do people end up on Urgent-incoming.email?

Most of the time, Urgent-incoming.email looks like a page with a video player. No wonder then that many of the sites that open Urgent-incoming.email in your browser are video streaming sites. You go to try and watch a video, you click on it, the site you’re on triggers a pop-up ad, Urgent-incoming.email opens in a new tab in your browser, and you’re presented with this site that says:

Click “Allow” to watch the video

Urgent-incoming.email may also be promoted on Video to MP3 sites and other converters. But mostly, it’s streaming sites that advertise it.

You could use an ad blocker that can block pop-ups. You could also use an anti-malware program that can block suspicious websites. That would help you stay safe online without having to change your browsing habits.
