Remove Urugvai.cc malware (Removal Instructions)

Urugvai.cc pop-up ads will appear in your browser if you have accepted push notifications from Urugvai.cc ads.

Urugvai.cc notifications will be displayed in the Google Chrome browser (including Android or iOS), Firefox browser, Edge browser, or Safari browser. The notifications appear as pop-ups in the lower right corner of Windows or on your mobile device, for example, an Android tablet or phone or iPad or iPhone.

Urugvai.cc advertisements are the result of rogue websites that redirect users to Urugvai.cc after a visit, and there try to convince the user to press the “allow” button on the web browser.

I found the following Urugvai.cc domain information:
