News1free.org virus - How to remove

News1free.org Russian searching platform immediately comes across as suspicious as we have noticed multiple domains that are spitting images of News1free.org. This website contains a search box and introduces short articles, addressing currently relevant news. However, these texts are brief and not very informative. Additionally, News1free.org is a browser hijacker, noted to penetrate into devices without obtaining a rightful permission. These malware samples can not only modify browsers’ settings, but also set up changes in Windows Registry Keys. We also observed a disturbing feature of this browser hijacker to produce high amounts of promoted content in the Russian language. Sites with pornographic content, deceptive articles, rogue and potentially infectious content could be presented. Even redirection to illegal gambling services could occur. In some cases, browsers automatically block users’ access to such websites.

Examination of News1free.org virus

Users are complaining to be redirected to News1free.org/vcomsm. However, this is not the main destination link and this URL will be seen in the address bar quite briefly. X24.ijquery11.com is also shortly noticed. Right after its appearance, users will be transferred to receive content from Bambori.ru, Marketgid.com, Nofreezingmac.work, Win-right-now.com and many other webpages that are not producing the most respectable content. Scammers lure people with click-bait articles, low-priced products in online shopping services, free scans for operating systems, gambling services, lottery spin-offs and other rogue material.

This Russian browser hijacker will probably mainly target Russian-speaking users, but there is no reason why News1free.org virus could not infect operating systems of other surfers. Some of the ads that are brought by this malicious parasite are in English, meaning that the majority of people will understand them. We noticed several occasions when updates or full applications were offered by this infection. However, most of these programs/updates did not include any proof of being legitimate and malware-free. For the sake of receiving revenue, controllers of News1free service could agree to distribute material which is not secure.

Results to search queries that are produced by this rogue search platform are not to be trusted. Even though they are mostly produced by Google, it is possible that the unreliable creators of the analyzed engine will insert promoted content among generated links. Additionally, browser hijackers are known for modifying interfaces of websites for the sake of incorporating advertisements from third-parties.

Operating systems can also be negatively influenced by a browser hijacker and freezes, crashes or problems with Internet connection might take place. If you notice that you are being redirected to News1free.org/vcomsm and it promotes a bunch of third-party services, we encourage you clean your device from malware. Since malicious applications can automatically install other malware, it is plausible that infected device can soon become a host of a number of infections.

Transmission of News1free.org browser hijacker

This type of malware uses techniques of distribution that are common to potentially unwanted programs (PUPs). Various free tools can opt to automatically assign an original search engine as the main preference as one of the conditions of the installation process. Due to the frequent mistake not to launch Setup Wizards in advanced or custom modes, dozens of surfers agree to have a new default search platform. However, this should not be a decision that users make. It is more appropriate to refuse to install any additional applications and stick to using well-established platforms for searching. Safely executing search queries is very important.

Please consider running a full security scan with one of these tools: Spyhunter. Since this browser hijacker might not be the only parasite in your operating system, it is crucial to detect them before it is too late. A browser hijacker could have exposed you to infectious content that was distributing all sorts of dangerous computer viruses, like a variant of ransomware.
