More details about websites of this type

Typically, websites like news-helaga[.]cc are promoted through other untrustworthy pages, advertisements, or PUAs. A bight part of PUAs can gather various information and (or) deliver unwanted ads. Users rarely download and install such apps knowingly.

How did adware install on my computer?

Loads of PUAs are distributed through downloaders or installers for other programs. Users download or install them when they do not change "Manual", "Advanced", or other settings available in downloaders or installers.

Unintentional downloads or installations can also be caused by clicking advertisements designed to run certain scripts and through fake installers downloaded from potentially malicious websites.

How to avoid installation of potentially unwanted applications?

Downloaders, installers with settings, or checkboxes should be examined. Those settings could be used to deselect unwanted apps. Advertisements appearing on dubious pages cannot be trusted. Those ads could open potentially malicious sites or trigger unwanted downloads, installations. Apps, files should be downloaded only from official, legitimate 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.
