If you have come across this article, you may have had some annoying time related to probably unwanted and maybe aggressively appearing advertisements. They may have appeared in different forms on your computer screen. If you can match this description to your issues, you obviously need to deal with Nuesearch. In fact, Nuesearch.com is a version of a Browser Hijacker. The information below will certainly help you understand the nature of your problem and assist you in dealing with it easily and for good.

Browser Hijacker Essentials

Maybe you are wondering what a Browser Hijacker stands for. Just as the name may imply, a Browser Hijacker is a term used for the software that is programmed to display a banner, a pop-up advertisement, or some other form of an ad. Sometimes the infection is quite obvious, other times much more subtle and you could be absolutely clueless that programs or tracking cookies may have been integrated into your system’s browsers (Chrome/Firefox/Explorer/Opera… etc.).

The “pay-per-click” scheme

Browser Hijackers are used by the ones who have created them to make money. And this is how it makes money – by showing as many advertisements as it possibly can. The more ads get displayed and clicked on, the bigger the amount of the profits the developers generate.

Ways of distribution

The distribution methods may greatly vary. That’s why I am going to focus on the most widely spread ones.

• Software bundles:
  A software bundle is a program that you download for free from the Internet, containing additional “features” within the installer. Usually, such bundles are formed, because the free programs’ creators need money to further fund their companies. Advertising is very well-paid as we have mentioned above and they include Browser Hijacker-like programs in their bundles. An infection may occur when you install the free program automatically, or by default. However, we recommend that you always go with the “Manual/Customized” feature of the installer. After that, if you want to avoid Browser Hijackers, you are supposed to carefully read all the End-User Agreements and menus to get a clearer idea of the programs that get installed on your personal computer. Follow this advice, and you will minimize the risk of an infection with a Browser Hijacker. This tip may also spare you the trouble of dealing with different versions of malware like Ransomware, as you will always be aware of what enters your PC and what is left behind.
• Torrents and shareware – sometimes Browser Hijackers get distributed via them;
• SPAM – be careful and do not open suspicious emails as some Browser Hijacker-generated hyperlinks may be waiting for you to click on them and be contaminated;
• Infected websites – try to act in a clever way when it comes to Internet surfing. Avoid any webpages with bad reputation;

Possible negative consequences

Generally, you have no serious reason to worry when it comes to the possible negative aspects of a Browser Hijacker as they are not many. Some of the displayed ads could be able to redirect you to likely-to-be dangerous websites that may contain malware like Ransomware programs. Sometimes the potential negative consequences might be just as serious, because the ads-generating software might have been programmed to keep track of your personal browsing history and sell that data to 3rd parties. The purpose behind such actions is to try to use your recent searches in order to predict what advertisements you are likely to be interested in and to show them on your computer screen.

Is Nuesearch “virus” really malicious?

Most people refer to this website as Nuesearch “Virus”. Yet we feel it is important to make a distinction here. Nuesearch is not a virus. Nuesearch.com is not really a malicious website. It is essential to point out that most versions of a Browser Hijacker are not viruses or other forms of malware. However, they still remain a very disturbing marketing tool. Despite the annoyance such software usually cases, it cannot steal personal information about accounts, banking details or passwords. What’s more – a Browser Hijacker is completely unable to produce its own copies, to destroy some data in your system or to lock up your files.

What does Nuesearch do?

Nuesearch.com has been referred to as typical Browser Hijacker-like software. Immediately after it has infiltrated your system, Nuesearch might possibly begin displaying various types of ads. What’s even more irritating – this may happen every single time you open a new browser tab or try to load a website. The aforementioned advertisements could have various forms- from a banner to a pop-up. Its typical features are the same as any other Browser Hijacker’s characteristics as a whole.
