I wrote this article to help you remove Noweek.com. This Noweek.com removal guide works for Chrome, Firefox and Internet Explorer.
The Noweek.com page is malicious. It is also a harbinger of bad news. If you see it all the time, we are sorry to inform you that your machine harbors an infection. You have an adware on board. The nasty parasite has managed to slither in undetected and it is now causing troubles from the shadows. Luckily, this pest is relatively easy to tackle and can be removed completely from your PC. This, however, requires prompt actions.
Don’t be fooled by the fact the adware is easy to deal with. It is still a cyber threat and it should not be underestimated. The more time it spends on board, the bigger mess it makes. Take the appearance of the Noweek.com page as a warning and heed it. As soon as you realize there is an adware on your computer, start looking for its hiding place and delete it upon discovery. Adware infections don’t make for pleasant tenants. If you ignore the threat the pest poses, it won`t be long before you regret it.
The adware turns your browsing experience into a nightmare. Nothing is the same anymore. You are no longer able to surf the web normally like you used to. Every online move of yours gets interfered. First of all, the Noweek.com page is everywhere. You cannot go online without stumbling across this site. It greets you when you open your browsers. It appears when you open a new tab. You get redirected back to it often. And it is not alone either. The adware forces you to visit many others just as shady pages all the time. Aside from that, you are buried with ads.
The infection bombards you with so many commercials with all shapes and forms that your entire screen is completely covered. You are forced to see coupons, banners, deals, offers, in texts, pop-ups, pop-unders, etc. Sometimes your videos get paused for commercial breaks. Trust us, it is very annoying. The adware will continue to get on your nerves until the very moment you remove it completely. And we suggest that you do, otherwise you can wave your normal browsing experience goodbye. But that’s not the worst part.
The adware also jeopardizes your privacy. It spies on you and everything that you do online. It keeps on collecting valuable information from the moment it enters and when it decides it has enough, it sends everything to the crooks behind it. Bear in mind that this may include your personally identifiable and financial credentials. Do your best to prevent that from happening. In this case, “your best” equals the immediate removal of the adware. Use our guide below and get rid of that plague.
How did you get stuck with this? There are many methods an adware (or other infection) can use to slither on board. For example, spam email messages and malicious attachments. Or, corrupted pages/links/ torrents. An adware can also pose as a page program update. You may think you are updating Java while, in fact, you are installing malware. Carefully read what you agree to before pressing “I accept”.
Also, don’t skip installation steps and don’t rush the process by blindly saying “OK” to everything. Carelessness is what hackers pray the most for. Without it, none of their sneaky methods can succeed. So, don’t grant it. Be extra vigilant. The web is full of parasites waiting for you to make the wrong move. I single moment of lack of attention is more than enough for you to compromise your safety.
