I wrote this article to help you remove Newscrensbons.org. This Newscrensbons.org removal guide works for Chrome, Firefox and Internet Explorer.

If you have opened your Internet browser and discovered that your homepage is magically replaced by Newscrensbons.org, I have good and bad news for you. The good news is that you are not a victim of a rampaging magician. As for the bad news: your computer is infected with a browser hijacker. The Newscrensbons.org browser hijacker changes your homepage and default search engine and it won’t allow you to restore your preferable browser settings. It displays many different types of ads and often redirects you to Newscrensbons.org.

The hijacker will set Newscrensbons.org as your new homepage. You can find a search bar and an endless stream of news on that website. Not a bad choice for a homepage, right? Think again. The search results that Newscrensbons.org displays are not as reliable as you think. There are fake entries among them. Those results are ads which are part of a pay-per-click system. Every search engine has payed entries, what is different here is that Newscrensbons.org does not label those entries as ads. You can never be sure which results are real and which are payed to be there.

You may think that if you are cautious, this is not so dangerous. That’s terribly wrong. The Newscrensbons.org browser hijacker is software that is installed on your system. It can monitor everything you do online, meaning it is spying on you. Every site you visit, every search request you make, everything is recorded. The hijacker would send that data to the owners of the software, and they can do whatever they want with it. Most often they’ll use it to choose ads for you, but they may also sell it to third parties.

Once the Newscrensbons.org hijacker has enough data about you, it will start bombarding you with tons of pop-up ads, coupons, discounts and special offers. You will get redirected to the Newscrensbons.org website without any apparent reason. That can be very annoying and distracting. Furthermore, the rogue program is using your computer resources. It works on your CPU and uses RAM. The more ads you see, the more RAM it uses. That is slowing your machine down. Can you imagine getting any work done in such conditions?

The Newscrensbons.org website itself is not dangerous, the danger comes from the commercials it displays. Some ads may redirect you to malicious websites. There, a drive-by download may initiate. A drive-by download is a term used to describe a download that starts without user interaction. It can distribute any type of virus which can infect your computer.

But how did the Newscrensbons.org hijacker manage to bypass your system security and get installed on your machine? It probably arrived as bundled software to some freeware you installed on your computer. Developers often add extra software and hide it under a custom/advanced tab. When you click on it, you can choose to deny the installation of any additional program. Never rush through an installation, look for an advanced tab and deselect anything you don’t need. It is not that time consuming and it can spare you many troubles in the future.

Other frequently used methods for adware distribution are: spam emails, torrents, malicious links and ads. When you receive an email, make sure you know who the sender is. Scammers often write on the behalf of some popular institution or corporation, such as your local police department or bank. Remember that such institutions will use an official way to contact you, not an email. If you spot anything suspicious, delete the letter immediately.
