After its installment, the hijacker doesn’t waste any time. It goes for your browsers. All of them – Mozilla, Chrome, Internet Explorer or whatever browser you are using. It adds to them its pesky extension making them unreliable and unsafe. Of course, this change, or any other, is done without your permission.

The hijacker floods your browsers with its annoying commercials. Don’t think even for a second that you will be able to put up with this. If this is the first time a hijacker has attacked you, you have no idea what is coming your way. These ads are so intrusive that they can easily make you give up on using your machine at all. Imagine having pop-ups non-stop blinking on your screen and blocking the content of the page you are visiting.

Actually, the page which you are trying to visit. And do you know why these ads are so persistent? The reason is simple. They are being used by hackers to make revenue. That’s right. Crooks rely on the pay-per-click mechanism to fill their pockets. They use the ads to generate web traffic to particular pages so they could make money. Simple as that. But they are also using you in their nasty scheme. Are you willing to become a sponsor of cybercriminals? Do you want to help them expand? And not to mention that you are risking being infected with more threats.

Most of these ads conceal malware in them and your one click is enough to get this malware. Only a single click and it doesn’t matter if it is on purpose or by accident. You can compromise your already compromised PC without even realizing. And your machine is already suffering because of this pest. Your computer slows down to a crawl, it starts crashing frequently, your browsers freeze all the time as they are overwhelmed with ads, etc. But what is even worse is that your privacy is in jeopardy. The hijacker is able to spy on you and monitor everything you do. It collects sensitive information and then gives it to its crooks. Imagine if the parasite gets its hands on your financial details. Or, on your identifiable ones. Don’t let that happen. Use our removal guide right now to delete the intruder permanently.

Once you do that, make sure this won`t happen again. As you can see, it is much better to prevent an infection that dealing with it later. So, take measures. First, get a reliable anti-virus program. Second, do everything that is up to you to keep your machine clean. Hijackers use tactics to sneak in your system. Tactics like freeware bundles, spam messages, fake updates, third-party pop-ups, corrupted pages/links/sites, etc. The methods are too many to count but none of them is good enough to succeed without your inactive cooperation. In other words, without your distraction. You have to be very careful online.

Avoid suspicious pages and download coursed. Do not click on any ad that comes your way. Any email, which you don’t know the sender of, must be deleted right away. When installing a bundle, opt for the Advanced settings, not for the Basic ones. Sure, the Basic ones are faster and all you have to do is press “next” but they don’t give you any control. The Advanced ones allow you to see each program in the bundle AND to deselect it if it looks suspicious. Don’t forget that infections pray for your carelessness. Don’t provide it.
