Intrusive browser ads: causes and how to deal with them

Nagging and sometimes even frustrating online ads are not an uncommon thing to see while surfing the Internet. They come in all shapes and sizes: pop-ups, banners, box messages and occasionally even page redirects. For the most part such intrusive ads are generated by the sites that you visit and you cannot do much to make them go away. You may try getting an ad-blocker, but sometimes these tools may cause other unexpected issues. Apart from those ads, integrated within the actual websites, there’s another type of adverts that are caused by an ad-generating programs called browser hijackers. If the nagging pop-ups keep showing even when you visit sites that otherwise don’t have any intrusive content, then you’ve probably had Nuesearch installed on your PC. Nuesearch is a browser add-on and just like many other similar software it falls under the browser hijacker category. In fact, it’s one of the latest programs of its type and that’s why this article will be focused on dealing with it.

Nuesearch “Virus”?

Understandably, it might be somewhat unsettling to all of a sudden see the barrage of obstructive ads invading your browser. However, there’s no need to panic – your virtual security is not threatened. Although people like to call Nuesearch “virus”, nuesearch in particular and browser hijacker programs in general are not considered viruses. Viruses are capable of wreaking havoc on your PC and files, spying on you, invading your virtual privacy and even stealing money from your bank accounts. browser hijacker programs do not do any of that. Their most problematic trait are the intrusive ads that never seem to stop popping-up. In fact, that is also their main purpose. The whole idea behind the introduction of those annoying adverts is to trick the user into clicking on them. The browser hijacker’s developer gains money for every click any of the ads receive. This revenue gaining method is called a pay-per-click method. That is why the pop-ups are so nagging and persistent. Here, we should note that it is not advisable to click on any of them. The reason for that is because sometimes some of the ads might redirect you to illegal or even malicious pages that could potentially be hazardous for your computer’s security. This is a rare occasion, but it is still worth keeping in mind. If Nuesearch.com redirects you to a page on its own, without you having done anything, make sure to close that page as quickly as possible without interacting with its contents. If you remember these simple tips, an browser hijacker should not prove to be anything more than a nagging annoyance until you manage to get rid of it altogether. That is, in fact, the first thing you should do as soon as you detect its presence in your PC’s system. Under this article, we have prepared a detailed guide for you that will help you uninstall Nuesearch and remove any traces of it that might have been left behind.

Final notes

Before you get to the removal part, spare a few more moments to better understand how these intrusive programs get into your system. This will help you avoid getting more browser hijackers or other PUP’s (potentially unwanted programs) installed on your machine. It’s just that much easier to keep your PC safe and clean compared to having to deal with Nuesearch once it’s inside your system.

There are quite a few browser hijacker distribution methods. Here, we will list the most commonly used ones so that you know what to look out for when surfing the internet.

• File-sharing sites are a very common tool for browser hijacker developers to spread their products throughout the web. Since everyone can upload almost anything there, it is easy to see why such sites are a common Nuesearch.com distribution method.
• Spam e-mails are another widely spread way for the distribution of all sorts of unwanted programs (browser hijacker included). A good rule of thumb is to always pay attention to the details of any newly received e-mail letters before opening them.
• Program-bundling is arguably the most successful method for spreading browser hijacker applications. The intrusive software is bundled within another program and once you install that other program, you also get the nagging app. That is why you should always opt for the custom settings menu when attempting to install any new programs. In that menu you should be able to see a list of added contents. Leave out everything that you may not want to get on your PC by unchecking it before proceeding with the installation.
