For some users it might look like a regular search tool, but if you look closer, it is obvious that the main purpose of this website is to make money by pushing various advertisements as their homepage is already stuffed with them. Even though it is not clear, but chances are that you will experience additional advertisements in various forms on other websites due to this infection as well. It might be dangerous to click on those ads because we don’t really know where they can lead you to – this advertising network is unreliable and various hackers and scammers might take advantage of it.

We have already mentioned that if your computer is infected with this malware, both homepage and default search engine on your web browser will be set to www.Nano-news.info.com. If you try to change those settings manually, they will come back the next time you open a web browser because the add-on will change them again. Obviously, you need to get rid of this add-on first in order to be able to retrieve control over your web browser.
