Tons of ads on my screen! Where do they come from?

Adware-like programs are a source of irritation to many users. Speaking about “Hello, New User”, this is an application that is specially designed to display numerous advertising messages on the PC screen. But, why would anyone need to spam you with so many ads? Well, as you may know, the Internet dictates the business now, and online advertising is a gold mine for some. Therefore many developers create pieces of software that generate and display ads in order to earn some money through the so-called Pay-Per-Click method. In fact, the more ads are displayed, the better the chance you click on some of them and the developers get paid for each click they get. Therefore, sometimes they overdo it with the amount of ads that are generated, which may be an unpleasant experience to some users. They may find the adware activity irritating or unwanted, especially when it interrupts their normal web surfing. If you are one such annoyed user, you may wish to uninstall this annoying program from your PC and here we are going to show you how to do that in a few easy steps.

How can adware get inside your machine?

Usually, you may get adware applications bundled inside installation packages of other software. They are commonly distributed with free software and if you recall a recent installation of one on your PC, then this is how you probably ended up with the adware on your system. The chance is you may not have noticed the program during the installation because it is usually found in the “advanced” or “custom” options and if you have spiked reading the EULA you may now feel tricked by the adware that got in your system in a stealthy way. However, you should only blame yourself for not checking carefully what is bundled inside the installation and skipping the custom options. Another way to come across adware-like applications is if you randomly click on different hyperlinks that redirect you to free downloads or open source download platforms. Therefore, it is a good idea to always check where you get your software from and what exactly you are installing.

Can adware be malicious?

Despite its irritating behavior, you should know that “Hello, New User” represents nothing malicious. People often wrongly refer to adware as a virus and this is mostly because of the intrusive way it behaves and the rather sneaky way it gets on their system. However, adware cannot be installed without you manually running the installation wizard. Viruses like Trojans or Ransomware, on the other hand, can infect you without your consent and do a lot of harm to your files – destroy them, encrypt them and blackmail you for ransom or introduce more malicious programs in your system.

“Hello, New User” cannot be related to any of these harmful activities. However, it can still disturb you and here are some of the most common activities you may encounter while it runs on your system. Adware may track your online browsing activity, analyze your searches, send collected data to the developers and redirect you to promotional pages with ads, banners, pop-ups, and links. Some users consider the above as an undesired activity and in case this is something you can’t tolerate, removing the adware would completely save you from the ads invasion. In the removal guide below we have described the exact steps you need to take in order to reach the right files that need to be deleted. Follow the instructions closely, because at some point you will be dealing with system files. In case you are not feeling confident enough to deal with those, the “Hello, New User” removal tool will clean the adware for you in just a few clicks.
