I wrote this article to help you remove Fidonav Virus. This Fidonav Virus removal guide works for Chrome, Firefox and Internet Explorer.

Fidonav.com poses as a helpful and legitimate search engine. It promises to help you improve your online experience by providing fast, safe and accurate search results. That would be more than great if it was true. Unfortunately, it is not. The trust is that the Fidonav.com site is a malicious one and it appears in case of a browser hijacker infection. The two go hand in hand. If you see the page, then you are infected. The hijacker is already on your machine, causing troubles from the shadows. Take the site`s appearance as a warning and act on it.

Hijackers are not created to be beneficial for the users. They only get developed to serve their owners` malicious purposes. Unsurprisingly, these owners are crooks and their purposes include making effortless profits at users` expense. You become their sponsor by keeping the hijacker on board. We will explain more in a minute. Just, don’t waste time. As soon as you are done reading this article, get rid of the adware. By the time you have finished reading, you will be convinced that this is the best course of action you can take.

The hijacker enters your PC in silence and then proceeds to make a mess. For starters, the Fidonav.com page becomes your constant online companion. You see it everywhere. It even replaces your preferred search engine and homepage without your approval. What is more, you were not even informed of the reshuffle. The hijacker doesn’t need your permission to make modifications to your browsers. It acts as it sees fit. So, from now on whenever you want to surf the web you are forced to use the Fidonav.com engine. As we said, it is not reliable. It mostly generates corrupted links and when you click on them, hackers earn money. This is the pay-per-click marketing system and these cybercriminals are using it to get rich. The problem is they use you and thus they compromise your safety.

These links you see not only bring crooks money, they also conceal more malware and your clicks equal your consent for this malware to get on board. A single click is all it takes for you to infect your PC with more pests. Do you want that? Moreover, do you want to sponsor hackers` malicious business? Of course, not. Delete this hijacker ASAP. Aside from ruining your browsing experience and exposing you daily malware risk, the parasite also jeopardizes your privacy by spying on you, gathering sensitive data and sending it all to its developers. Cut its stay short. Use our detailed removal guide below to help you get rid of the pest manually.

How did the hijacker enter? We assume you didn’t download it on purpose and yet, here it is. How did it get in? As a program, even though a malicious one, it needs your approval on its installation. Do you remember giving it? Probably not but you obviously did. The hijackers tricked you. It used sneaky methods to get your okay. For example, it could use spam email messages, freeware bundles, fake program updates, corrupted pages, third-party ads, unverified download sources, illegitimate torrents, etc. If you are careless, each of these tactics would work. You will press “I agree” and you won’t even know what you are agreeing to.

Pay more attention to what you accept and what you click on. Always read the Terms and Conditions. Do not open emails from strangers. Avoid shady pages. In other words, do your due diligence. Crooks pray for your distraction and inattentiveness to succeed. Do not grant them. Do not make yourself an easy target by being negligent. Do the opposite. Be vigilant and keep your PC infection-free.
