All the Harm a Little News from News13wise.com Can Do to Your PC

News13wise.com looks like a normal news portal, but the sole article that News13wise.com has available promotes a fake work-from-home 'success story' that, in fact, never occurred. News13wise.com is closely-linked to spam-based marketing efforts, both in terms of being promoted by unsolicited e-mail messages and in terms of distributing them, and it's not recommended for you to hand News13wise.com your e-mail address unless you're interested in being their next spam target. For safety's sake, you should treat any information that's given to News13wise.com as potentially compromised, and make appropriate changes to any passwords and related security safeguards.

Because SpywareRemove.com malware research team has also found that News13wise.com is guilty of facilitating the distribution of malicious software (which can include Trojans, spyware, fake security software or rootkits), you should use strong browser security to protect your PC during accidental visits to News13wise.com. In the aftermath of a visit to News13wise.com, it's also suggested that you analyze your PC with a strong anti-malware scanner to detect any possibility of PC threats that may have been installed by drive-by-download attacks.

The Browser Half of News13wise.com's Self-Promoting Scam

In addition to all of the many risks that were noted earlier, SpywareRemove.com malware experts have also noted multiple reports of browser redirects to News13wise.com. Such redirects are usually caused by browser hijackers that are already installed on your PC – often along with Trojans or rootkits. Browser hijackers may also:

  • Censor your search results to block PC security sites.
  • Lock News13wise.com as your homepage.
  • Lower the state of your web browser's security, which can allow for other browser-based attacks against your computer.

As with other News13wise.com-related PC threats, you should remove browser hijackers that promote News13wise.com by scanning your PC with the anti-malware product of your choice. In most cases, News13wise.com redirects will also cause Windows Registry changes that may still need to be reverted even after the related browser hijacker is deleted.
