Newchannel.club POP-UP Redirect
Written by Tomas Meskauskas on (updated)
What is newchannel[.]club?
The newchannel[.]club website is virtually identical to hatnofort[.]com, terjuscalbuttont[.]info, ninghimpartidi[.]info and many others of this type.
When opened, it displays dubious content or causes redirects to other untrustworthy sites. Typically, people are redirected to newchannel[.]club by potentially unwanted apps (PUAs) that are installed on their browsers and they do not generally visit the site intentionally. PUAs collect data and serve users with advertisements.
In this particular case, an installed unwanted app opens newchannel[.]club in a new browser tab or window. When opened, it then immediately opens about two or three other dubious sites or presents dubious, deceptive content. Generally, the outcome depends on the visitor's geolocation. Some of the websites opened after visiting newchannel[.]club might be malicious.
Another downside of having these apps installed is information tracking. Most PUAs collect browsing-related (and other) data, such as geolocations, URLs of visited websites, search queries, IP addresses and other, sometimes personal data. People who develop PUAs share the data with third parties who misuse it to generate revenue.
Some of these third parties might include cyber criminals. Furthermore, unwanted apps often display ads on websites visited by users. PUAs deliver coupons, banners, surveys, pop-up ads, and so on. When clicked, these usually open dubious and deceptive sites that might be malicious.
Clicking the ads can also result in download and installation of other PUAs. Some ads run scripts that have the same effect. Thus, having apps of this type installed on your system could lead to issues relating to browsing safety, privacy, and other problems. It is possible that some users might become victims of identity theft.

Typically, unwanted apps are promoted as 'useful applications', however, most provide none of the tools offered, features, or any other benefits. PUAs are designed only to generate revenue for the developers by serving users with ads, collecting information relating to browsing habits, and causing unwanted redirects to dubious websites.
How did adware install on my computer?
In most cases, people download and install PUAs involuntary by a) clicking intrusive ads that run scripts designed to trigger download/installation of unwanted applications or b) improperly downloading and installing software. In many cases, developers attempt to trick people into causing unintentional downloads/installations using a deceptive marketing method called "bundling".
They bundle/include PUAs into set-ups of other software that people wish to download or install. Developers do not disclose this information and hide it in "Custom", "Advanced" and other similar parts of software setups. Furthermore, when people leave these settings unchanged and unchecked, they end up having PUAs installed on their systems.
How to avoid installation of potentially unwanted applications?
Do not download software from unofficial, dubious websites, using Peer-to-Peer networks such as eMule, torrent clients (and other such tools) and other third party downloaders. The best way to download is from official websites and using direct links. Furthermore, handle software download/installation set-ups properly: do not leave settings unchecked and unchanged.
Also check additionally-included apps and deselect them. Do not click intrusive ads, especially if they are displayed on dubious websites relating to gambling, adult dating, pornography, and other pages of this kind. If unwanted advertisements occur regularly (on any visited website) or a browser causes unwanted redirects, check installed apps.
If there are any unwanted extensions, add-ons, or plug-ins, remove them immediately. Unwanted programs installed on the operating system should also be uninstalled. If your computer is already infected with rogue applications, we recommend running a scan with Combo Cleaner Antivirus for Windows to automatically eliminate them.
