The name NTSRV is associated with fake Visual C++ 2013 Redistributable software installers that may contain several adware applications like Deals App and Hawker. The NTSRV tag might be found in the publisher category of your 'Programs and Features' panel and should raise red flags that there may be problems with your Internet browser. Security experts classify the code that is tagged NTSRV as adware that may block the native ads on trusted e-commerce portals like Kmart, Amazon and eBay. The NTSRV adware may employ corrupted XPI, BAT, CRX and BHO files to affect all Internet browsers that are based on Internet Explorer, Mozilla Firefox, Opera and Google Chrome. The ads by NTSRV may appear as banners, pop-up windows, and sponsored search results when you search with Google, Bing, and Yahoo. The NTSRV adware may create a folder under the Windows directory named NTSRV_02012016134350 to host its files and avoid detection.
Additionally, the NTSRV adware may register a network driver on your PC to enable its automatic updates and may install riskware like VeriBrowse on your PC automatically. The NTSRV adware may read your browsing history to execute behavioral marketing and load tailor-suited ads. In simple terms, the NTSRV adware might recognize users that love to drive and provide links to ads on insurance and local automobile repair shops. The NTSRV adware should not be tolerated because it may be instructed to load insecure resources in your browser and your OS may be at risk. The NTSRV adware may use outdated security certificates to signs its files and prevent heuristic detection. Security experts alert that it is possible for third parties to take advantage of outdated certificates to send corrupted data to your PC. You should install a trusted anti-malware suite to detect the binary associated with the NTSRV adware and delete it securely.
