How to remove the NewProduct unwnated program from the system
Written by Tomas Meskauskas on (updated)
What is NewProduct?
It is unknown what is the purpose of the NewProduct application. However, it is likely that it functions as adware or a browser hijacker. It is common for apps of this kind to be distributed using deceptive methods. Therefore, users rarely download and install them intentionally. Apps of this kind are categorized as potentially unwanted applications (PUAs).
NewProduct in detail
As mentioned in the introduction, there is a possibility that NewProduct generates revenue for its developer by displaying ads. Pretty often, advertisements displayed by adware-type applications are designed to open shady websites (for example, scam websites, download pages for potentially unwanted applications, or even malicious pages).
Usually, adware displays pop-ups, coupons, banners, surveys, or other ads. A couple of examples of websites that may be promoted through ads displayed by software of his type are "Win The New iPhone 12", "Access To This Pc Has Been Blocked For Security Reasons", and "Your Chrome Is Severely Damaged By 13 Malware!".
It is worth mentioning that adware might show advertisements designed to download or install unwanted software (its ads may be designed to run certain scripts). In one way or another, it is recommended not to trust ads that come from installed adware or have any adware installed on a web browser or the operating system.
Furthermore, it is possible that instead of displaying ads, NewProduct changes the web browser's settings (or it does both). More precisely, NewProduct might be designed to function as a browser hijacker and change the address of a default search engine, homepage, and new tab to an address of a fake search engine.
Usually, fake search engines show results generated by Yahoo, Google, or other legitimate search engines and (or) questionable search engines. Fake search engines can be used to promote untrustworthy websites - they can include links to those pages in search results. Also, they can display unwanted advertisements.
Additionally, NewProduct might be designed to collect information related to user's browsing habits. For example, IP addresses, entered search queries, geolocations, visited websites, and other data. However, it may be capable of gathering sensitive information as well (like credit card details, passwords, email addresses).

NewProduct program in general
It is very unlikely that NewProduct is a legitimate application. Research shows that more than sixty different security vendors flagged NewProduct as malicious (many of them flagged it as a cookies stealer). Therefore, it is strongly recommended not to trust it. More examples of apps that function as adware are GameBox, Flow, and OpenBook.
How did adware install on my computer?
One of the most popular ways to distribute potentially unwanted applications is to bundle them with free programs. Users can deselect unwanted offers using "Advanced", "Custom", or other options, or by unticking checkboxes. When users leave the aforementioned settings unchanged, they agree to download or install bundled apps as well.
Another way to trick users into downloading and installing PUAs is to design advertisements to execute certain scripts. Users cause unexpected downloads or installations by clicking those advertisements. In some cases, PUAs get installed through fake installers (for example, fake Adobe Flash Player installers).
How to avoid installation of potentially unwanted applications?
It is not recommended to download programs, files from unofficial websites, Peer-to-Peer networks (like torrent clients, eMule), via third-party downloaders, and so on, or install programs via third-party installers. Those sources can be used to distribute unwanted software. It is advisable to use official pages and direct download links.
Also, it is recommended to check downloaders and installers for "Custom", "Advanced", or other settings, or checkboxes before completing downloads and installations. Usually, those settings can be used to deselect optional downloads, installations. Furthermore, it is advisable not to trust advertisements displayed on dubious pages.
Those advertisements can be designed to open questionable websites or cause unwanted downloads, installations. Any unwanted extensions, plug-ins or add-ons installed on a browser and programs of this kind installed on the operating system should 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.
