Do you constantly get redirected to the Search.heasytowatchnews2.com website? The cause of this is a browser hijacker that has infiltrated your computer. It is known to modify your browser’s settings, as well as obtain data such as web history, surfing habits, search queries, etc. It uses this information so as to generate a specific kind of advertisement content that the user is most likely to click on.

The victims of Search.heasytowatchnews2.com will find themselves attracted to the shown ads and pop-ups that often promote exclusive deals and sales, special coupons, offers, blinking messages, fake updates, etc. The main goal of the browser hijacker is to create income by the pay-per-click or pay-per-view method. What’s more, this hijacker has the ability to replace your homepage, new tab pages and preferred search engine with the Search.heasytowatchnews2.com page.

Browser hijackers can be distributed in many ways. The thing is, it cannot infect your computer without you letting it in. That’s right. You gave it access yourself. It doesn’t matter if you did it unknowingly or not. The most common ways for it to trick you into letting in, are by free software bundles, fake update requests, spam emails, torrent files, dubious links and ads, etc.

In order to avoid a potential hijacker infection, we advise you to always opt for an Advanced or Custom installation when downloading software from the internet. This way you can have full control over what actually gets installed on your computer, making it impossible for hidden malicious software to slip through unnoticed. All you have to do is simply deselect any program or application that was not previously disclosed in the downloaded bundle. The same thing goes for any software that you deem suspicious or unnecessary.

Browser hijackers are not considered to be very dangerous. They are not real viruses, because they affect your browser only, not your entire computer system. Still, that does not mean they are harmless. You don’t need this pest on your PC. The longer you leave it to roam free on your computer, the worse its effect will get. It will generate more and more ads that will eventually overload your system to the point of crashing entirely. It will start with the slowing of your internet connection speed, followed by the slow running of your programs and apps. And that’s not all.
