Needupdate.com is a nasty browser hijacker that is commonly brought to your computer by a Trojan, infiltrating your machine via security cracks. As soon as needupdate.com is executed, it will modify your browser settings in order to change your homepage to www.needupdate.com, as well as redirect your browser to malicious websites, promoting various malware applications. Needupdate.com starts at Windows boot and displays fake Windows-like pop-ups stating that your computer’s privacy and security has been violated. Needupdate.com will then repeatedly offer certain rogue anti-spyware applications to clean your system from the parasites it purportedly “found”. Needupdate.com should be removed from your system without any hesitation.
