Remove Spaceforyou.cc (Chrome/Edge/Firefox) | Updated

I wrote this article to help you remove Spaceforyou.cc. This Spaceforyou.cc removal guide works for Chrome, Firefox and Internet Explorer.

The Spaceforyou.cc redirect is a sign that your computer has been infected by a browser hijacker. Other symptoms of such malicious infection are altered browser settings, replaced homepage, search provider and new tabs page, as well as an unauthorized installation of dubious extensions, toolbars and add-ons.

When your browser gets hijacked, you start receiving numerous annoying ads, pop-ups, exclusive deals, special coupons and offers, fake update messages, blinking banners, etc. that will look very attractive to you. This is because of the hijacker’s ability to steal your web history and habits and also monitor any browser activity. It is a smart way to generate targeted advertisements that the victim is most likely to click on. The main goal is to create income by the PPC (Pay-Per-Click) method.

The most common source of browser hijackers are free software bundles and installation packs. Such type of malware can also be distributed through spam emails and attachments, fake updates, torrent files, dubious links and pop-ups, etc. You can prevent a future infection by making sure you always get your software updates from official and reliable sources only.

When downloading content from the internet, especially if it’s free software bundles, we recommend opting for an Advanced/Custom installation, so as to have full control over the downloaded content. This way you can easily deselect any program or application that you don’t want or just seem suspicious to you. Also, be careful when you receive emails from unknown senders. Spam emails are known to cause trouble to the recipients if they open them. This also applies for any attachments or executable files that are included in those spam letters.

Browser hijackers are not as dangerous as a Trojan Horse virus or ransomware, but they still pose a risk for your security. That targeted content we mentioned earlier may reroute you to suspicious and possibly dangerous third-party websites. Such pages are possible to be infected and may even open backdoors to hackers who seek to steal your personal information in order to profit.
