All of a sudden, this site becomes your online shadow. You see it everywhere. When you open a new tab, when you type in a search, etc. It even replaces your homepage and search engine without your permission. Next come the ads. Because of the hijacker, you are bombarded with ads on daily basis. Even the pages which use to be clean are now completely covered with pop-ups. This doesn’t go unnoticed by your computer which also starts to underperform. It lags and it crashes often. Your browsers freeze. Pages take ages to load and when they finally load, you get redirected to other ones. And the worst part is that these are the minor issues you face.
There are much more serious problems coming your way. Like the constant malware risk for instance. Nothing the hijacker displays is reliable and it could easily result in you compromising your PC even more by clicking on the wrong link/page/ad. But the absolute worst problem you face is the security risk this infection exposes you to. The hijacker is programmed to spy on your online and monitor your every move.
