How to remove unwanted apps used to promote newsfeedzscrollz.com

What is newsfeedzscrollz[.]com?

Avoid newsfeedzscrollz[.]com, which is a dubious website. Usually, these rogue sites are promoted via other bogus web pages, deceptive advertisements, or potentially unwanted applications (PUAs). Note that users do not often download and install PUAs intentionally.

There are many pages similar to newsfeedzscrollz[.]com online. Some examples are captcha2020[.]com, itabsolan[.]com, and withoughtc[.]top.

Websites like newsfeedzscrollz[.]com generally display dubious content or open untrustworthy sites (various scam pages, download sites for adware, browser hijackers, etc.). This depends on the geolocations of visitors.

Furthermore, these websites often use 'clickbait' techniques to trick their visitors into clicking the "Allow" button (to deceive visitors into giving the pages permission to show their notifications) - newsfeedzscrollz[.]com displays a message encouraging visitors to click the "Allow" button to continue loading media. Notifications from these sites usually contain untrusted advertisements, promote dubious websites, etc. Therefore, do not allow newsfeedzscrollz[.]com or other dubious pages to show their notifications.

If a browser opens websites such as newsfeedzscrollz[.]com (or other dubious sites) regularly, it possible that potentially unwanted applications are installed.

Commonly, PUAs generate advertisements (e.g., coupons, banners, surveys, pop-ups). These tend to open dubious websites and, in some cases, download and install unwanted apps.

Furthermore, potentially unwanted apps can collect browsing-related data (e.g., Internet Protocol addresses, entered search queries, addresses of visited pages, geolocations). Some PUAs can read private, sensitive information.

In any case, it is not safe to have apps of this type installed on browsers or computers: gathered data may be sold to third parties (potentially cyber criminals), used for marketing purposes, and misused to generate revenue in other ways.

In summary, newsfeedzscrollz[.]com promotes other untrusted websites and uses a 'clickbait' technique to trick visitors into allowing it to show unwanted notifications.

Browsers often open pages such as newsfeedzscrollz[.]com automatically due to potentially unwanted applications installed on them. You are strongly advised ro remove PUAs from browsers and computers, since they can cause problems relating to browsing safety, online privacy, and other issues.

As mentioned, most users download and install PUAs inadvertently.

How did adware install on my computer?

PUAs are distributed via download/installation set-ups of other products. This deceptive marketing tactic of packing regular software with unwanted or malicious additions is called "bundling".

Rushing download/installation processes (e.g. ignoring terms, skipping steps and settings, etc.) increases the risk of inadvertently allowing bundled content into the system.

Some PUAs have "official" download sites. Intrusive advertisements proliferate these applications as well. Once clicked, they can execute scripts to download/install PUAs without users' consent.

How to avoid installation of potentially unwanted applications

Download software and files from official websites and via direct links. It is not safe to use torrent clients, eMule (or other Peer-to-Peer networks), third party downloaders, unofficial websites or other sources of this kind.

Avoid third party installers. Check "Advanced", "Custom" and other settings, and decline offers to download or install unwanted software. Do not click ads that are displayed on dubious websites, since they can open other untrusted websites or even cause unwanted downloads and installations.

Remove any unwanted, suspicious applications (extensions, add-ons, and plug-ins) that are installed on the browser. The same should be applied to programs of this kind that are installed on the operating system.

Regularly scan your computer with reputable antivirus or anti-spyware software and keep this software up to date.

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