How does Breaking News Alert work?
Breaking News Alert displays a red button at the top-right corner of every web page indicating the number of available news alerts. If you click this button, you will open a box listing different headlines with links to the associated articles. Most of the links will route you to nydailynews.com; however, it is impossible to know whether all of the links will be reliable. In the worst case scenario, the displayed links could present links to malicious sites. Needless to say, you should delete Breaking News Alert or any other program displaying suspicious links. Note that Breaking News Alert is a clone of Celebrity Alert and Finance Alert, both of which may require removal as well. If you do not want to delete these suspicious programs, you should at least install a legitimate security tool that would block access to malicious sites. Of course, most authentic security tools will identify the BreakingNewsAlertService.exe service as unreliable, and this is not without a reason. Breaking News Alert could be a security threat, especially if it presents random pop-up and banner advertisements, and so you should think about removing it.
