About News-cloud.net browser hijacker

It works as browser add-on that can be added to all most common web browsers, such as Mozilla Firefox, Microsoft Edge, Google Chrome, Windows Explorer or even Safari. That means Apple users can get infected as well.

Once inside of your computer it will change some settings on your web browsers. For instance, homepage on all of those web browsers will be changed to www.news-cloud.net, so every time you open a web browser, this website will appear instead of Google or other legitimate website.

Even though News-cloud.net is described as useful tool that will help users to find news articles faster and easier, it is not true. First of all, this virus belongs to Russians, thus all information is given in Russian and you will be not able to understand what it says (unless you know Russian). It also has a function of search engine but we don’t recommend to use it. This search engine tends to display a lot of sponsored results that are not really relevant to your search queries, therefore you will waste your time this way. In addition to that, we do not recommend to click on any of those sponsored links because if you do so, you will be immediately redirected to other websites that might be owned by various cyber criminals, such as hackers or scammers. This way your computer can get infected with other viruses or if you attempt to purchase something there you can even get scammed and lose your hard earned money.

Distribution Methods of News-cloud.net browser hijacker

This infection is traveling the same way as most of other malware of this type – bundled with various freeware that can be downloaded from the Internet. For instance, when you download and install some free PDF manager or media player from unreliable website, there is a chance that News-cloud.net will be downloaded and installed alongside. That’s why you should always keep your computer secured with reliable anti-malware software and avoid downloading freeware from unreliable sources.
