If your browsing has turned into a hellish experience due to a heavy advertisement attack, you need to be on a high alert. Especially if the Oleobet.com/ru website makes a frequent appearance on your browser. This page is a sign that a nasty hijacker has infiltrated your browser.

Browser hijackers’ main objective is to turn every existing browser on your PC into an ad-displaying tool. As soon as the parasite invades, it will start generating numerous intrusive advertisements in different forms – pop-ups, in-text, blinking alert messages and banners. Hijackers can also modify any browser settings they see fit. Due to this malicious parasite, your homepage, new tab pages and even preferred search engine can get replaced. In their place, the Oleobet page will be displayed.

The cyber pest is programmed to create income via the pay-per-click method. So, for each click you make on the ads, the parasite will get paid. In order to raise its chances of profit, the hijacker will steal your web data like browsing history and search results, to better customize the sponsored content, so you are more likely to click on it.

The most common means for a hijacker to spread include spam emails and attachments, dubious links and ads, torrent files, freeware, as well as fake update requests. It is very important to note the fact that hijackers cannot invade without permission. The only way for them to get access to your computer is if you to give them permission to do so. That being said, you need to pay close attention to what you click on, since it can take just one click to unknowingly install malicious software on your computer.

Read between the lines and don’t be hasty. When installing software, make sure that you opt for a custom or advanced type of process. This way, if there is any hidden malware, you’ll be able to notice it straight away. Nasty parasites often hide in software bundles in the form of optional software that will be otherwise invisible if you’ve selected Quick mode in the Setup Wizard.

Browser hijackers can severely damage your browsers. Lagging, slow internet, as well as slow minimization and maximization of the browser window, are just some of the symptoms of a hijacker infection. This parasite puts your online security and privacy in jeopardy. Important information such as but not limited to passwords, IP addresses, Login ID, bank account credentials, credit card numbers, etc. can easily fall into the hands of hackers.

Such data is very valuable to them since they can sell it to other third-parties and make a good profit. You can regain control over your browser and put an end to this nightmare.
