Do you get redirected to Newstimes2017.info? This is a crystal clear sign that your computer is in trouble. Some pesky cyber parasite has successfully landed on board and is currently causing you harm. Therefore, it’s time to take adequate measures. The sooner you regain control over your infected machine, the better. Luckily for you, this situation has a silver lining. You are stuck with an adware-type virus or a PUP (potentially unwanted program). In other words, one of the least destructive types of parasites out there. Remember that the Internet is filled with sneaky Trojans horses and file-encrypting ransomware. You could have gotten stuck with a much more problematic infection. Having said that, no virus is to be underestimated. If you do overlook the threat this adware/PUP poses, things could get ugly. Hackers actually take advantage of the fact you might ignore the virus thinking it can’t harm you. As you could imagine, keeping the infection on board would be a terrible mistake. Any kind of parasite is able to cause you serious damage, especially if being tolerated for too long. Instead of allowing this pest to get out of hand, uninstall it ASAP. You certainly won’t regret it. Once your computer gets invaded by this program, modifications begin. Your browsers receive a brand new (malicious) extension added to them. You see, the infection won’t hesitate to seek your permission. It simply makes changes behind your back. Stealth and unauthorized changes are what this program has in store for you. Furthermore, all these shenanigans ultimately expose you to malware. By messing with your browser settings, the virus injects them with ads. That’s how the newstimes2017.info pop-ups become a part of your cyber experience. Whether you’re interested in seeing advertisements on a daily basis or not is irrelevant. Crooks are willing to destroy your everyday online activities solely to gain revenue online. Are you familiar with the pay-per-click mechanism? Because cyber criminals definitely are. In fact, adware-type programs and PUPs get developed to boost web traffic. That is why your PC screen is bombarded by pop-ups, pop-unders and other sorts of ads. Every single commercial generated by the infection is sponsored and potentially very dangerous. You have no reason to trust a sponsored pop-up so keep in mind your safety has been compromised.

How did I get infected with?

Agreeing to install a virus is a rather rare scenario. Most parasites rely on stealthy infiltration methods to get spread online. For example, malware often gets bundled with safe programs. Do you tend to rush the installation process when downloading bundles? Then it is in your best interest to pay attention to what you give green light to. Always watch out for potential intruders in advance. It is much easier to prevent virus installation than to tackle an infection later on. Thus, stay away from unverified websites and illegitimate freeware/shareware bundles. Those might be hiding a whole bouquet of secretive parasites. Secondly, opt for the Custom option in the Setup Wizard. Take your time before it’s too late. Having to delete an infection will indeed be more time-consuming and troublesome. To save yourself the headache, you have to be cautious. Check out the programs you’re installing and never skip important steps. You may accidentally skip golden opportunities to protect your device from parasites. We would also recommend that you keep an eye out for spam messages or email-attachments. Last but not least, avoid suspicious torrents, software updates and third-party pop-ups.

Why is this dangerous?

The adware/PUP takes over your browsers. Yes, all your browsers. It is perfectly compatible with Google Chrome, Mozilla Firefox and Internet Explorer. Thanks to this program, you get constantly redirected to newstimes2017.info. You might land on other random websites too. As a result, consider browsing the Web at peace impossible. Let alone finding what you’re searching for online. Keep in mind that the newstimes2017.info pop-ups are sponsored which means they are highly questionable. Clicking any of them could cause you further damage. This parasite is very persistent, aggressive and, above all, deceptive. It disguises these sponsored pop-ups as harmless product commercials. However, there is nothing harmless about a web link displayed by a cyber parasite. The adware/PUP is even capable of causing some privacy harm. Your sensitive information such as browsing history, IP addresses, usernames/passwords gets stolen and sent into the hands of crooks. To sum up, this nuisance has to go.
