Deceiving domain - newstarads.com
Newstarads.com is an ad-supported domain that targets users with vulnerable computer security. It can come through third-party downloads, fake software updates, or infectious hyperlinks/ads. Once the program ends up on some type of browser app, it might mess with the browser's homepage and new tab URL, add suspicious extensions, plug-ins, and add-ons as browser helper objects.
Newstarads.com virus might also force the user to land on bogus third-party networks filled with adult content or provide suspicious security software offers as a way to swindle big sums of money. Moreover, the developers are very likely to benefit from the cost-per-click technique, so do not be surprised to see a constant advertisement flow while completing browsing actions and doing work online.
