How to remove software force-opening the news-back.org website?

What is the news-back[.]org website?

News-back[.]org is a rogue site sharing many similarities with rockstartpush.net, newstorg.cc, worldlifestylez.com, and thousands of others. This webpage is designed to deliver questionable material and/or redirect visitors to untrustworthy/malicious pages.

Users usually enter such websites inadvertently, they get redirected to them by intrusive advertisements or installed PUAs (Potentially Unwanted Applications).

This software does not require explicit user consent to infiltrate systems. PUAs operate by causing redirects, delivering intrusive advert campaigns, and gathering browsing-related data.

When accessed, news-back[.]org first checks the visitors' IP (Internet Protocol) addresses to learn their geolocations. This information is key to determining the webpage's further course of action.

Therefore, whether visitors are presented with dubious content and/or redirected elsewhere - depends on their geolocations. Furthermore, news-back[.]org uses deceptive tactics (i.e., fake CAPTCHA verification) to trick visitors into enabling its browser notifications.

This is typical of all rogue sites. Should the notifications be allowed, news-back[.]org will start running intrusive advertisement campaigns. The delivered ads can be misleading, untrustworthy, and even malicious.

In addition to being a nuisance, they pose a threat to device/user safety. Upon being clicked, intrusive adverts redirect to hazardous sites, and some can even stealthily download/install software (e.g., PUAs).

PUAs can have varied heinous functionalities, and these functions can be in different combinations. For example, these applications can force-open various websites and/or run intrusive advert campaigns.

What is more, most PUAs have data tracking abilities. Targeted information includes: URLs visited, pages viewed, search queries typed, IP addresses, geolocations, personally identifiable details, and other vulnerable data.

PUA developers monetize the collected information by sharing it with and/or selling it to third-parties (potentially, cyber criminals). In summary, the presence of unwanted software on devices - can lead to system infections, severe privacy issues, and even identity theft.

To ensure device integrity and user privacy, all suspect applications and browser extensions/plug-ins must be eliminated immediately upon detection.

PUAs typically appear legitimate and harmless. Users are lured into download/installation and/or purchase with offers of various "useful" features.

However, the functions seldom work as advertised, and in most cases - they do not work at all. The sole goal of unwanted software is to generate revenue for the developers; to users - it has no genuine value.

PUAs are designed to cause redirects, run intrusive advertisement campaigns, and collect sensitive information.

How did adware install on my computer?

PUAs are distributed through downloaders/installers of other programs. This deceptive marketing technique of packing regular software with unwanted or malicious additions - is called "bundling".

Rushed download/installation processes (e.g., ignored terms, skipped steps and sections, used pre-set options, etc.) increase the risk of inadvertently allowing bundled content into the system. Intrusive advertisements proliferate PUAs as well.

Once clicked on, the adverts can execute scripts to download/install these applications without user permission. PUAs may also have "official" promotional/download pages.

How to avoid installation of potentially unwanted applications?

It is recommended to research software before download/installation and/or purchase. Additionally, all downloads must be done from official and verified sources.

Untrustworthy download channels, e.g., unofficial and free file-hosting websites, Peer-to-Peer sharing networks, and other third-party downloaders - often offer harmful and/or bundled content.

When downloading/installing, it is important to read terms, explore all possible options, use the "Custom/Advanced" settings, and opt-out from additional apps, tools, features, etc. Intrusive ads appear ordinary; however, they redirect to highly unreliable and questionable sites (e.g., gambling, adult-dating, pornography, and so forth).

In case of encounters with advertisements and/or redirects of this kind, the system must be checked and all suspicious applications and browser extensions/plug-ins detected - immediately removed from it.

If your computer is already infected with rogue applications, we recommend running a scan with Combo Cleaner Antivirus for Windows to automatically eliminate them.
