What is Newsfrog.me?
Newsfrog.me is a website that users might face when their devices are infected with adware. The domain pops up with “Confirm notifications” suggestion message and asks to click the “Allow” button. If you click on it, unwanted ads start appearing in the lower right-hand corner of your screen. However, even any minor interaction with the pop-up message automatically causes these push notifications. Users are also forced to view countless pop-ups, banners, deals, offers, promotions, and other advertising content. This intrusive content overloads the computer’s memory causing the browser to slow down. The adware usually creates folders in C:\Program Files\ or C:\ProgramData, creates entries in System Registry, adds itself to the Startup, and makes changes to the browser configuration. You may remove Newsfrog.me manually however it may take a lot of time, especially since computer skills are required here. So if in doubt, you can use an automated removal tool.
