How did you get infected with News-duboma.cc popups

Some research has shown that users can be redirected to News-duboma.cc from misleading ads or by PUPs and adware software. Adware is type of malicious software which quietly collects information about user, such as online searches, login details and browsing history, while at the same time feeding the user advertisements, and it does all of this without asking permission. Adware can track activity, display annoying advertisements, hijack and mislead web-browsers and even infect the computer with trojans and worms. In some cases, adware can promote p*rn webpages and adult products.

Adware usually spreads together with another program in the same setup file. The risk of this is especially high for the various free applications downloaded from the Internet. The developers of the software are hoping that users will run the quick installation mode, that is simply to click the Next button, without paying attention to the information on the screen and do not carefully considering every step of the setup procedure. Thus, adware can infiltrate your computer without your knowledge. Therefore, it’s very important to read everything that the program says during installation, including the ‘Terms of Use’ and ‘Software license’. Use only the Manual, Custom or Advanced install mode. This mode will help you to disable all optional and unwanted applications and components.
