How to eliminate ads delivered by the new-updates-service.com site?

What is new-updates-service[.]com?

New-updates-service[.]com is a rogue site designed to load dubious content, push its browser notifications, and/or redirect visitors to other (likely untrustworthy or malicious) webpages.

The Internet is rife with such websites; totalnicefeed.com, yoursurveyprogram.com, and loopanews.com are but some examples. Rogue sites are typically accessed via redirects caused by suspect pages, intrusive adverts, or installed PUAs (Potentially Unwanted Applications).

New-updates-service[.]com overview

Whether visitors are presented with questionable material and/or redirected elsewhere - depends on their IP addresses/ geolocations.

Additionally, these sites tend to use deceptive content (e.g., clickbait, fake CAPTCHA, etc.) to trick users into allowing their browser notifications. This also applies to new-updates-service[.]com; the website will begin running intrusive advertisement campaigns if they are enabled.

The delivered ads are more than a nuisance, they also pose a threat to device/user safety. These adverts endorse various sale-oriented, untrustworthy, deceptive/scam, compromised, and malicious sites. What is more, some intrusive advertisements can download/install software (e.g., PUAs) stealthily - when they are clicked on.

Potentially unwanted application overview

Despite their legitimate appearance, PUAs seldom operate as promised. Instead, these apps can cause redirects, run intrusive advertisement campaigns (adware), modify browsers (browser hijackers), and collect private information. To summarize, PUAs can cause system infections, severe privacy issues, financial losses, and identity theft.

How did potentially unwanted applications install on my computer?

PUAs are proliferated using the "bundling" marketing technique - pre-packing regular programs with unwanted/malicious additions. By rushing through downloads/installations - users risk allowing bundled content into their devices. Intrusive adverts spread PUAs as well. Upon being clicked, the ads can execute scripts to make downloads/installations without user permission. Select PUAs also have "official" download webpages.

How to avoid installation of potentially unwanted applications?

It is highly recommended to research software and download it from official/verified sources. Untrustworthy download channels, e.g., Peer-to-Peer sharing networks, unofficial and freeware websites, etc. - often offer bundled and harmful content.

When downloading/installing, it is advised to read terms, explore available options, use the "Custom" or "Advanced" settings, and opt-out from all supplements. Intrusive advertisements appear legitimate, yet they redirect to various questionable sites (e.g., gambling, pornography, adult-dating, etc.).

Should users encounter adverts and/or redirects of this kind, they must inspect their devices and immediately remove all suspicious applications and browser extensions/plug-ins detected. If your computer is already infected with rogue applications, we recommend running a scan with Combo Cleaner Antivirus for Windows to automatically eliminate them.
