How did the hijacker enter your machine without you realizing? If you often download free programs off of the web and then rush their installation processes, here is your answer. Crooks often attach malware to other programs and if you are not careful while installing them, they end up entering your PC alongside the original app. Yet, a little bit of extra attention could prevent such an outcome. All you have to do is be more careful.

First, use only legitimate download sources. Second, never skip the Terms and Conditions. And third, opt for the Advanced options in the Setup Wizard as they give you complete control over the installation and you are able to see all apps which are about to enter your machine. A couple of extra minutes is all you need to keep your PC safe. Remember that!
