As soon as the hijacker tricks you into allowing its installment, the mess-making starts. Your browsers are its first target. It doesn’t matter which particular browser you use because they all get modified thanks to the hijackers pesky plugin. Once infected, your browsers are no longer safe for you to use. First of all, you find both your homepage and search engine replaced with Search.ydserp.com. It goes without saying that your permission was not needed for this change. The hijacker is able to make reshuffles as it sees fit and you cannot change your settings back according to your preferences. This is how you get stuck with the Search.ydserp.com search engine.

If you try loading another page the pest redirects you back to either its own domain or other suspicious websites. So, any attempt of surfing the web include the usage of the Search.ydserp.com engine. However, keep in mind that this engine was created by crooks to serve their malicious purposes. And what are crooks` purposes? Money, of course. They use sponsored links generated by this search engine to boost web traffic to specific pages and gain money via the pay-per-click method. Search.ydserp.com will flood you with sponsored and unreliable links. And if you click you help cybercriminals fill their pockets. But not only that. Sponsored links are dangerous and most of the times they lead to shady pages from which you can download a malware with a single click. You can find your PC brimming with threats in a matter of days.

And yet, these links are not your only problem. The hijacker has more in store for you. It bombards you with numerous ads on daily basis. Any time you open your once reliable browser you will be thrown an avalanche of ads your way. Pop-ups, video ads, banners, coupons, deals, best prices will be constantly blinking in front of your eyes. And they as just as dangerous as the redirects and the links. They also help cybercriminals gain revenue. You have to stay away from anything the hijacker generates. None of it was ever meant to be helpful to you.

Your financial and identifiable information is not safe either. Are you willing to give cybercriminals that kind of power over your private life? If not, act now. Use our removal guide below and get rid of this hijacker once and for all.

Also, aside from uninstalling the pest, make sure you won`t be infected again. Do you know how infections get to you? Well, one very popular method is bundled software. Especially if you download the bundle from unverified sources. With this program package, there is no way of knowing what else you are getting in addition to the program you originally wanted. Not unless you use the Advanced setting during the installation and most users tend to opt for the Basic ones. However, the Advanced options give you the opportunity to see every program in the bundle and deselect whatever you don’t want to get.

The Terms and Conditions are also a must. If you skip them and just keep pressing “next” you are being careless and that is exactly what threat pray for. They need your negligence otherwise, you will never let them in. The same goes for the other entering techniques like spam messages and attachments. If you are careful you will check an email before opening it. But if you are negligent, you will open anything without thinking twice about it and that is the easiest way to invite an infection on board. Don’t be naïve. Always be on the alert while online. Preventing an infection is much easier than dealing with its shenanigans.
