News-first.com Virus - How to remove

A Russian-speaking user-oriented online search engine News-first.com has been dubbed a browser hijacker. In fact, any new web search tool, which is not introduced by the acknowledged software developers or cyber security researchers, bears an enormous probability of being a malicious online search application. And to oust such incumbent search providers as Google, Yahoo or Bing would be a mission scarcely to be accomplished in any time soon. Thus, users are advised to search for the reviews of the new applications they are introduced with not in the above mentioned ways but in the more obfuscated manner. In the case of hijackware, the Internet soon fills with not very positive reviews, to say the least.

The Manner News-first.com Operates on the Infected Machine

Once News-first.com app has entered the system to be compromised, it corrupts the system’s registry by appending certain entries, such as the one, which makes the program to be launched upon every startup. After the system changes have taken place, News-first.com module adds itself on the browser/-s as an extension. Soon the browser settings are changed. Namely, those which regards the DNS – Domain Name System. It sets the News-first.com domain name as the new default homepage. The user is not notified about the latter changes, nor is he asked for permission to make them. After the hijack of the default start page, begins the true polka of online scams.

News-first.com extension is an adware-type tool, which ruins the results of Google Search. The add-on redirects to google.com.ua in a new tab page, which displays the modified search results of Google. The thing is that the developers of News-first.com plug-in are involved in the promotion of the websites of their cooperative parties. Additionally, the extension uses such software as javascript to land their affiliate parties’ advertisements on the foreign web pages. So, web search with News-first.com utility is, basically, online scam search, since the collaborating parties of News-first.com are, indeed, quite questionable entities. So, in the following manner, we come up to the question of cyber security, which is regained only after the removal of News-first.com browser hijacker.
