Stop browsers from causing redirects to newscoder7.com
Written by Tomas Meskauskas on (updated)
What is newscoder7[.]com?
newscoder7[.]com is virtually identical to many other rogue websites including, for example, restonovius[.]com, quarenafius[.]com and requestfor4[.]com. When opened, these sites load dubious content or redirect visitors to a number of other untrusted websites.
In most cases, people arrive at websites of this type, since they are opened by potentially unwanted apps (PUAs) installed on the browser and/or operating system. I.e., people do not often visit pages such as newscoder7[.]com intentionally. Furthermore, most PUAs cause redirects to dubious web pages, display intrusive ads, and gather browsing-related information.
Typically, PUAs force browsers to open pages such as newscoder7[.]com is a new window or tab. When opened, they redirect visitors to more (2-3) dubious, potentially malicious pages or load dubious content. What happens after visiting newscoder7[.]com and other websites of this type usually depends on visitors' geolocations.
Note that newscoder7[.]com often tricks visitors to giving permission to show notifications: it encourages them to prove that they are not robots by clicking the "Allow" butto. This is just one of many 'clickbait' techniques that are used to deceive people into allowing dubious pages to show notifications.
In most cases, the notifications contain various deceptive ads, links to dubious web pages, etc. Therefore, websites such as newscoder7[.]com should never be allowed to show notifications. Typically, PUAs also collect data such as IP addresses, entered search queries, geolocations, addresses of visited websites, and other browsing-related details.
In some cases, they record personal, sensitive data. Developers sell the data to third parties (potentially, cyber criminals) who misuse it to generate revenue. This can cause problems relating to privacy, browsing safety or they even use the data to steal users' identities.
PUAs can also feed people with coupons, pop-ups, surveys, banners and other forms of ads. In most cases, these redirect users who click them to dubious, potentially malicious pages, or they execute scripts designed to download and install PUAs. Therefore, remove all PUAs from the operating system and/or browser immediately.

Most PUAs are advertised as useful, legitimate applications, however, few operate as promised and simply cause problems. They are designed only to help developers to generate revenue by collecting information, displaying advertisements and forcing users to visit dubious, potentially malicious websites. For these reasons, never trust, downloaded, or install any PUAs.
How did adware install on my computer?
Typically, PUAs are installed through deceptive ads that execute certain scripts, or together with other programs that have them included in download/installation set-ups as 'additional offers' (i.e., when developers distribute PUAs using a deceptive method called "bundling").
In most cases, offers to download or install additional software (PUAs and other apps of this type) can be found in "Custom", "Advanced, and other settings of the download/installation set-ups. Many people download and install software without checking and changing these settings, thus allowing PUAs to infiltrate.
How to avoid installation of potentially unwanted applications
You are advised to download software from official websites and via direct download links. Other sources, tools such as third party downloaders (and installers) Peer-to-Peer networks (e.g., eMule, torrent clients), unofficial websites should not be used, since they are often are used to distribute PUAs and even malicious programs.
Carefully check all settings such as "Custom" and "Advanced" and decline any offers to download or install potentially unwanted apps. Do not click advertisements that are displayed on dubious web pages, since they can open other dubious pages or cause unwanted downloads/installations.
These ads might also be shown on legitimate web pages. If the browser causes unwanted redirects, or unwanted ads appear regularly, this can be prevented by removing all unwanted, unknown extensions, add-ons and plug-ins from the browser and programs of this kind from the operating system.
If your computer is already infected with rogue applications, we recommend running a scan with Combo Cleaner Antivirus for Windows to automatically eliminate them.

Internet users should be very skeptical when being asked to allow notifications. While this is a useful feature that allows you to receive timely news from websites you like, deceptive marketers frequently abuse it.
Only allow notifications from websites that you fully trust. For added security - use an anti-malware application with a real-time web browsing monitor to block shady websites that tries to trick you into allowing spam notifications. We recommend using Combo Cleaner Antivirus for Windows.
