Remove Realnewshour.com (Chrome/Edge/Firefox) | Updated

The existence of the Realnewshour.com website on your browser is a bad sign. A sign that a parasite from the adware family now resides on your computer. This malicious software is responsible for the large amount of intrusive ads that are being displayed on your screen on a daily basis. The parasite is programmed to infect any browser available on your PC and turn them into ad-displaying tools. With each day, the number of advertisements will increase, making it hard for the web browser to keep up, resulting in its slow and poor performance.

Furthermore, adware is a total breach in your online privacy. This nasty pest can get access to your web data and steal your browsing history, habits and search results. With this information, the parasite will be able to customize the advertisements, so they are more attractive to the user and therefore are more likely to get clicked on. For each click that the user makes on the ads, the adware will get paid.

Fortunately, the Realnewshour.com adware cannot hack its way on your computer. Which means, that the only way for it to get access, is if you grant it to it. But this parasite is sneaky and uses great trickery to allow it on your device without realizing it. This can happen if you open infected spam emails, especially if they contain attachments or executable files.

So it is best to steer clear of any spam emails or suspicious messages that claim to be sent from official companies. In such cases, we highly recommend checking if the email matches the one that is listed in their official company. If there is no match, you need to immediately delete this email, as it most likely is sent by crooks that aim to infect your computer with malicious software. Other ways for adware to spread are fake updates, freeware, torrent files, shady links and ads, etc.

Adware’s abilities are not to be underestimated. Even though many users don’t consider adware to be a real virus, since it limits its attack to browsers only, that doesn’t make the parasite harmless. On the contrary, it is able to severely damage your browser to the point of it not being able to work altogether. What’s more, adware can compromise your personal and financial information.

Sensitive data such as but not limited to passwords, Login ID, IP addresses, bank account credentials, credit card numbers, etc. can easily fall into the hands of crooks that will not hesitate to exploit the opportunity of stealing your information to sell it to other people. The only way you can protect your privacy and secure your online presence is to remove this nasty adware parasite from your PC. The longer you prolong its stay, the more damages it will be able to do. If you’re unsure how to get rid of this nuisance, you can follow our detailed instructions below.
