Getlastnews[.]com website in general

Getlastnews[.]com should not be visited or allowed to show notifications. It is worth mentioning that these websites get opened through other dubious pages, untrustworthy advertisements, or potentially unwanted apps that most users download and install inadvertently.

How did adware install on my computer?

Very often, PUAs are bundled with other programs. They can be found in downloaders and installers for other programs as optional downloads and installations. Users allow for PUAs to be downloaded or installed when they do not change "Advanced", "Custom", or other settings available in downloaders and installers.

Also, users cause unwanted downloads and installations by clicking on advertisements designed to run certain scripts or through fake installers downloaded from untrustworthy pages.

How to avoid installation of potentially unwanted applications?

It can be achieved by downloading programs from official pages and deselecting optional downloads or installations before downloading and installing programs bundled with PUAs. Another way to avoid that is not to click on ads appearing on questionable pages.

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