How did I get infected with?

Hello New User Pop Up Virus only promotes adware. It doesn’t install it on your computer. You do that all on your own. How? Well, adware programs are sneaky and deceptive. They trick you into approving their installs without you even realizing it. More often than not, they slither in by hiding behind freeware as it provides possibly the easiest access point to your computer. That’s because most users don’t pay nearly as enough attention as they should during its installation process. They rush and don’t even bother reading the terms and conditions. Instead, they agree to all of them and pray for the best. That’s a horrendous idea. One, which results in adware invading your computer. Other preferred methods of infiltration include the use of spam email attachments, corrupted links, or sites, as well as pretending to be a fake update. If you wish to keep adware applications away from your computer, start by keeping the Hello New User Pop Up page away from your computer. Also, try to remember that haste, naivety, and distraction don’t lead to anything good while a little extra attention goes a long way.

Why are these ads dangerous?

Each time you try to use your browser, Hello New User Pop Up will pop up and interrupt you. This little disturbance may seem harmless, and nothing more than merely annoying. But don’t dismiss it so quickly! It’s so much more, and it hides great dangers. To allow it to continue to interrupt you browsing incessantly, would be ludicrous and a decision you’ll most certainly regret. Why? Well, for one, pretty soon after its first popping up, the page’s appearance will lead to the installation of adware applications. It’s inevitable, utterly unavoidable. So, to permit it to pop up is equivalent to agree to install adware on your PC. It’s as simple as that. It’s not even a question of “if” such tools will slither into your system, it’s a matter of “when”. And, once they do, brace yourself for trouble. First, you’ll be forced to endure a never-ending bombardment of pop-up ads each time you try to go online. That’s the beginning of your grievances. Then, you’ll be forced to endure a slower computer performance and frequent system crashes. What’s more, you’ll also be subjected to both a severe malware threat and a grave security risk.

Do what’s best for you, and remove the malware that’s forcing the site upon you as soon as you possibly can. You have much to lose by allowing it to stay, and everything to gain by deleting it.
