The hijacker, as it names implies, hijacks all of your browsers. It is perfectly compatible with Google Chrome, Mozilla Firefox, Microsoft Edge, etc. Regardless of which is your favorite one to use, it is still infected. Whenever you go online, you suffer interruptions. Pages take forever to load. You get constantly redirected to Ampxsearch.com.

How did the nasty hijacker manage to enter your PC behind your back? We assume you did not download it on purpose. Yet, you did something else to help it enter. You were careless and the pest tricked you. Usually, hijackers travel the web bundled with other programs and when you download and install these program, the parasite gets installed as well. This is because you don’t pay attention during the installation process but you are in a rush instead. Next time, take the time to read the Terms and Conditions before accepting them. The fine print can often hide clauses which you are constantly against, but if you don’t read them, you accept them. The key to keeping your computer infections free is to be vigilant. If you do your due diligence, you will be able to spot infections on time and prevent them from entering.
