About this threat

Newstartsearch.com is a website promoted by browser hijacker. If you have it installed on your system, you need to be more vigilant when you set up freeware. It was attached to some free program as an extra offer and you did not notice it. Those extra offers are only visible when using certain settings during installation, which is why so many users end up missing them. Browser hijackers are not malicious computer viruses but they need to be dealt with right away.  They will make unwanted alterations, set their promoted sites as homepages and new tabs, and once that has happened, it will try to redirect you. Those redirects could lead you to a malware infection so you need to be careful. This would be why you need to delete Newstartsearch.com.

How does the hijacker spread?

Browser hijackers are attached to freeware as extra offers and all you need to do to avoid them is deselect them. When you install freeware, access Advanced or Custom settings. They will allow you to see whether something has been added. If there has, simply uncheck the boxes. This will stop them from installing alongside the freeware. Refrain from using Default settings and rushing because you will end up having to remove Newstartsearch.com or similar over and over again.

Why should you uninstall Newstartsearch.com?

When you install the hijacker, it will immediately hijack Internet Explorer, Google Chrome and Mozilla Firefox. It will make changes to those browsers without permission and set a dubious web page as your homepage, and new tabs. You will quickly notice that those changes are irreversible unless you first delete Newstartsearch.com, which you need to do anyway. The search engine provided on the site will insert sponsored content into the results and you may be redirected. More traffic for those websites means more income for owners. Unfortunately, that is also how you could be led to malicious sites, where malware could be lurking. You should also read the Privacy Policy of the website if you choose to use it. It states that it will collect both personally identifiable and non-sensitive information, and then share it with third parties. We highly doubt you want this hijacker to have any kind of information about you. So remove Newstartsearch.com.
