Nsbacking.com Redirects – Spread
There is more than one way via which the Nsbacking.com redirects could wind up on your computer. One method is if you have visited websites with very low reputation, like adult sites or online movie streaming sites to watch an episode of your favorite TV show, for example.

The outcome of this is that these programs tend to heavily modify your browser to show different forms of ads, like pop-ups, redirects, banners and other forms of adware.
