New App is a potentially unwanted program that is offered to users downloading free software contained in a modified setup program. We say “potentially unwanted” when talking about New App, because there’s usually a way to stop it from being installed, we just need to be careful when installed software downloaded from the net.
New App‘s goal is pretty simple, to show as much ads as possible whenever you’re browsing through the Internet. To achieve this much desired goal, it doesn’t beat around the bush, New App modifies directly the source code of the visited websites so the ads are inserted directly. These ads will be seen as pop-ups, banners or blue/green links among the text of the website you’re seeing, specially going after the e-commerce websites. It’s not uncommon to notice the presence of New App in our computer when we see ads tagged as, New App Ads or Powered by New App.
If you’ve been infected with New App, there’s no more secrets about your browsing activity between you and the developers of this software. This is due to the tracking they do of your every move online plus some other data that can help identify you, like your browser’s name, your IP address, OS version, consulted websites, keywords from your searches, even information about your geographical setting.
