The Kolnewsupdate.info website is a consequence of malicious activity on your computer. If the page keeps appearing on your browser, it means that a nasty parasite from the adware category has invaded your device. Once this pest calls your browser its home, the real trouble begins.

Adware is capable of altering your web settings. It can also install shady apps, extensions and toolbars, without your authorization. But that’s not all. The worst effect of an adware infection is the huge amount of ads that it will generate. In order to make sure that it will provide content that you’ll be more likely to click on, the parasite will monitor your online activity and collect web data like browsing history and searches. With this information, it will be able to provide targeted advertisements that will surely attract your attention.

Adware is programmed to create revenue via the pay-per-click method. So, for each click you make on the promoted content, the parasite will get paid. The more adverts are displayed, the better the chance of generating income. The thing with adware is, that it cares only about the number of sponsored pages it will show. It will not verify them, so it is best if you steer clear of such adverts, since there is a chance you might get rerouted to a dangerous source, seeking to harm your computer.

The good news is, that adware cannot get access to your computer unless you give it yourself. Meaning, that it cannot hack its way on your PC. It needs your permission, in order to invade. Often, users unknowingly install malicious software on their computers. This happens when they rush into an installation, without paying attention to the terms and conditions, or the process mode that they select.

If there were any hidden programs or applications, and you’ve opted for a Quick install, it means that such additional software will be automatically installed, even if not properly disclosed to you. To make sure no optional installations are hidden from you, you need to select Advanced or Custom mode in the Setup Wizard. Deselect any bonus content that you see, as it most likely is malware in disguise. Other ways for adware to sneak on your device are through spam emails, fake updates, torrent files and shady links.

Adware can severely damage your browser. Thanks to the heavy advertisements that are being generated on your browser every day, you’ll start experiencing lagging, slow internet speed, as well as frequent app crashes. If you stay idle and don’t act against this dangerous parasite, it will completely destroy your web browser and you’ll have no one to blame but yourself. The longer you delay, the worse your situation will get.

The number of ads will continue to grow with each passing day, and they’re going to get more and more aggressive. Your online privacy and security will surely get compromised if you prolong the stay of this malicious software. The only way you can regain control over your browser once again and protect your personal and financial data from falling into the hands of hackers is to remove this cyber nuisance as soon as you detect its presence on your PC.
