The malicious site even replaces your homepage and search engine without any approval of yours. It doesn’t need your permission. It alters your browser settings as it sees fit.

You cannot find anything you a looking for online as you are redirected all the time. Needless to say, these pages cannot be trusted. One wrong click and you automatically download more infections on board. And this is not all. The hijacker has more in store for you.

And like this isn’t enough, your private life in no longer private. The hijacker is able to spy on your and to monitor your every online move.

The sooner you get rid of the hijacker, the better.

But how did this pest enter your PC in the first place? Did you intentionally download it? Of course not. In order to prevent another infection, you need to know how pests travel the Web. All infections need your permission to get it and as they know you would not give it voluntarily, they use tricks to dupe you into giving it. They still ask for permission but in the sneakiest way possible. Otherwise, you would never give them green light. This is why they turn to tricky tactics like freeware, spam email messages and malicious attachments, compromised pages/links/torrents, bogus updates, third party ads, etc.

If you want to protect yourself, be extra careful. Stay away from shady pages and don’t click on everything that comes your way. Delete all email messages that are from unknown senders even if they look legitimate. Double-check what you are agreeing to. When installing a bundle, don’t rush. Opt for the Custom settings instead of the Basic ones as they give you complete control over the installment. Don’t skip the Term and Conditions too. What all parasites pray for the most is your carelessness, haste, and distraction. Don’t provide them.
