I wrote this article to help you remove Newscommer.com. This Newscommer.com removal guide works for Chrome, Firefox and Internet Explorer.
If you constantly get swarmed in adverts and annoying pop-ups, don’t go thinking it is a normal browser behavior. Especially if the Newscommer.com redirect is an everyday occurrence. You see, this website is related to adware activity on your browser. It is bad news. Once it invades your online space, it will cause many troubles.
The adware will start monitoring every move you make on the web, and will collect this data for future reference, in order to create specific kind of advertisements that you’ll be more likely to click on, according to your browsing history and search queries. The more clicks you make, the more income it will be able to generate through the pay-per-click scheme. The thing is, you never know where those adverts can redirect you to. You might get rerouted to potentially dangerous third-party websites that seek to open backdoors for other hackers.
Adware is most commonly found to hide behind spam email messages, email attachments and executable files, software bundles, infected links and ads, fake update requests, etc. When receiving emails from unknown senders, you need to be very cautious. Spam emails often carry infections in different forms. By opening such infected emails, you risk the infection reaching your computer. We recommend steering clear of any spam emails, especially if they contain attachments or executable files.
Random update messages are not very reliable. While browsing the internet, you might get interrupted by a seemingly trustworthy pop-up that urges you to update a program on your computer. It is most likely a trap. Do not fall in it. Always rely on official and licensed sources to get your software updates.
Another advice we could give, in order to make sure that no malware threat reaches your computer, is to opt for Advanced/Custom mode in the Setup Wizard, when trying to install software from the internet. This way, you can easily see if there are any hidden programs and applications. If there indeed are any optional installations, we strongly suggest that you opt out of all of them, since they most likely are malware in disguise.
Fear not, adware is not as strong as a Trojan Horse or ransomware. In fact, adware is not considered to be a real ‘virus’ by many users, because it limits its attack to browsers only. It will not infiltrate your entire computer system. That, however, does not make this cyber parasite harmless. On the contrary, adware has the power to do very serious damages. The more time you let it roam free, the more trouble it will cause.
As time goes by, the number of ads will increase, causing your browser to struggle with displaying them all. Sooner or later, it will start crashing and not responding, making any work online impossible. Having adware on your PC puts your online privacy and security in jeopardy. Do not let cyber criminals exploit this opportunity to steal valuable data from your computer. Act fast and remove this annoying parasite as soon as possible!
