How to stop browser redirects to and from the news-easy.com website

What is news-easy[.]com?

news-easy[.]com is a rogue website that shares many similarities with check-out-this.site, edchargina.pro, chainthorn.com, and dozens of other rogue sites. Note that news-easy[.]com feeds users with dubious content and redirects them to other dubious sites.

Research shows that users generally arrive at news-easy[.]com inadvertently - they are redirected by potentially unwanted applications (PUAs) or intrusive advertisements displayed on other dubious sites. PUAs typically infiltrate computers without users' consent. In addition to causing redirects, PUAs deliver advertisements and monitor users' internet browsing activity.

After successful system infiltration, PUAs continually open new browser tabs/windows and redirect users to news-easy[.]com. This website then immediately determines the geolocation and redirects the visitor elsewhere, or delivers certain dubious content. In any case, users might encounter malicious content.

Therefore, redirects to and from news-easy[.]com can lead to various system infections. Intrusive advertisements (coupons, banners, pop-ups, and others) delivered by PUAs are also likely to redirect to dubious websites. Some even execute scripts that download/install other potentially unwanted/malicious apps.

Therefore, even a single accidental click can result in high-risk computer infections. Data tracking is also a significant issue. PUAs record IP addresses, website URLs visited, pages viewed, search queries, and other similar information.

The data typically includes personal details that developers share with third parties (potentially, cyber criminals) who misuse it to generate revenue. Therefore, having data-tracking applications installed on your computer might lead to serious privacy issues or even identity theft. You are strongly advised to uninstall all PUAs immediately.

There are hundreds of PUAs, all of which are virtually identical. By offering various "useful features", they to give the impression of legitimacy and trick users to install, however, the only purpose of these applications is to generate revenue for the developers. PUAs deliver no real value for regular users and all claims to provide useful functionality are false. These programs cause unwanted redirects and gather information.

How did adware install on my computer?

Some PUAs are free for anyone to download at their official websites, however, developers also proliferate them using intrusive advertisements and a deceptive marketing method called "bundling". Therefore, PUAs usually infiltrate computers without users' consent. "Bundling" is essentially stealth installation of third party applications together with regular software.

Criminals are aware that many users often rush download/installation processes and skip steps. Therefore, they hide "bundled" apps within "Custom/Advanced" settings (or other sections) of the download/installation processes.

Furthermore, by carelessly rushing, skipping steps, and clicking advertisements, many users expose their systems to risk of various infections and compromise their privacy.

How to avoid installation of potentially unwanted applications?

The main reasons for computer infections are poor knowledge of these threats and careless behavior - the key to safety is caution. Therefore, pay close attention during the download/installation processes and when browsing the Internet in general. Avoid using third party downloaders/installers, since most are monetized using the "bundling" method.

Download your programs from official sources (preferably, using direct download links). Study each step of the download/installation processes using the "Custom" or "Advanced" settings. Opt-out of all additionally-included programs and decline offers to download/install them.

Note the appearance of intrusive advertisements: criminals invest many resources into intrusive ad design, thereby making them seem legitimate. Once clicked, however, they redirect to dubious websites (gambling, adult dating, pornography, and similar).

Therefore, if you experience these ads/redirects, remove all suspicious applications and browser plug-ins. If your computer is already infected with rogue applications, we recommend running a scan with Combo Cleaner Antivirus for Windows to automatically eliminate them.
