How to remove ads displayed by the newschecktoday.com site?

What is newschecktoday[.]com?

Newschecktoday[.]com is a rogue website that displays dubious content, pushes its browser notifications, and/or redirects visitors to other (likely unreliable and malicious) sites. The Internet is rife with such pages; hukelpfulin.xyz, earnmoneycrypt.com, and businesspayments.org are just some examples.

Visitors to newschecktoday[.]com and similar websites typically access them via redirects caused by other suspect webpages, intrusive ads, or installed PUAs (Potentially Unwanted Applications).

Newschecktoday[.]com overview

The behavior of rogue websites is determined by visitors' IP addresses/ geolocations. Therefore, this information dictates whether users are presented with questionable material and/or redirected elsewhere.

Additionally, newschecktoday[.]com attempts to trick visitors into allowing its browser notifications by claiming that clicking "Allow" will initiate some kind of update. The site will start running intrusive ad campaigns if the notifications are enabled.

The displayed advertisements promote a wide variety of sale-based, untrustworthy, deceptive/scam, compromised, and malicious webpages. Furthermore, some intrusive adverts can download/install software (e.g., PUAs) stealthily - once clicked.

Potentially unwanted application overview

Despite their harmless appearance, PUAs can cause redirects, deliver intrusive advertisement campaigns (adware), modify browsers/ promote fake search engines (browser hijackers), and collect private information. To summarize, the presence of unwanted apps on devices can lead to system infections, serious privacy issues, financial losses, and even identity theft.

How did potentially unwanted applications install on my computer?

PUAs can be downloaded/installed together with other programs. This marketing tactic of packing regular software with unwanted/malicious additions - is named "bundling". Intrusive advertisements proliferate PUAs as well. Upon being clicked, the adverts can execute scripts to make downloads/installations without user permission. Some PUAs also have "official" promotional/download webpages.

How to avoid installation of potentially unwanted applications?

It is recommended to research software and only download from official and verified sources. Untrustworthy download channels, e.g., unofficial and freeware websites, Peer-to-Peer sharing networks, and other third-parties downloaders - commonly offer bundled/harmful content.

Download/Installation processes must be approached with care, including - reading terms, studying available, using the "Custom/Advanced" settings, and opting-out of all supplements. Intrusive advertisements appear legitimate; however, they redirect to various questionable sites (e.g., gambling, pornography, adult-dating, etc.).

If ads and/or redirects of this kind are encountered, the system must be checked and all suspicious applications and browser extensions/plug-ins detected - immediately removed. If your computer is already infected with rogue applications, we recommend running a scan with Combo Cleaner Antivirus for Windows to automatically eliminate them.
