What is Thenewstreams.com?

If you have been exposed to Thenewstreams.com, you know that this website wants you to enable notifications and expose you to suspicious advertisements. While you can close the pop-up that requests to enable notifications as well as the ads that show up, you would face them again and again if you continued visiting the website. Unfortunately, some visitors of the website might be willing to put up with suspicious pop-ups just so that they could access the, allegedly, “Breaking News.” We can assure you that this website is not producing useful content. In fact, the news stories its shows are copied from legitimate and reputable news sources. While users are likely to figure that out quickly, they might be tricked into enabling notifications before that, and that leads to an avalanche of unwanted pop-ups. The good news is that you can remove Thenewstreams.com notifications from your web browser. To make the process as easy as possible, we have added instructions that show how to delete them.test

How does Thenewstreams.com work?

Thenewstreams.com is identified as an adware server, but it does not work exactly like Cvazirouse.com, Gichelfactice.info, Ustinctsretio.info, and other adware servers that we have reported on Anti-Spyware-101.com. This one mimics a news website, and that can make it easier to lure in victims. To introduce them to the website and the notifications request, you need to be redirected to it first, and that is most likely to happen as you browse other unreliable websites. You could be exposed to misleading pop-ups and ads that redirect to Thenewstreams.com, but you are most likely to be redirected automatically when you interact with the content presented on dangerous file-sharing and movie/TV-streaming sites. Needless to say, we recommend that you do not visit such websites. Even if you can identify malicious redirects, you cannot prevent the implantation of web cookies and other trackers that can collect even sensitive, personally identifiable information. These trackers can also be introduced if you interact with the ads and pop-ups that are presented to you by the adware server.

When you land on Thenewstreams.com, you are immediately introduced to pop-up ads in the top-right corner of the website. You can close them, but they are bound to reappear. These pop-ups can present alleged update warnings, security alerts, breaking news, shopping deals, and other kinds of attractive content. If you click them, you might be redirected to the installation pages of PUPs and malware, fake shopping sites, fake news sites, fake login pages, etc. The purpose of these pop-ups is to make you pay for bogus tools and services, download malware, and expose your virtual security. Obviously, you want to avoid them at all costs. However, that might be harder to do if you enable notifications, in which case, misleading ads and pop-ups might appear even when you browse different websites. Hopefully, you have not interacted with Thenewstreams.com ads, but if you have, please act appropriately. For example, if you downloaded something, delete it instantly. If you paid for bogus services or products, call your bank immediately. They might be able to cancel your purchases if it is not too late.
