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

Have you noticed something strange in your browser’s behavior lately? Perhaps a sudden change of your homepage and search provider without your consent? Do you constantly get redirected to the Jackettrain.com website? If the answer to these questions is ‘Yes’, it seems that your computer has been infiltrated by a browser hijacker. But don’t worry. Hijackers might be called viruses, but they are anything but that. Why? Because they only affect your browser, not your computer system.

Browser hijackers will bombard your screen with all sorts of advertisement content like pop-ups, exclusive deals and promotions, special offers and coupons, sales that are too good to be true, blinking messages, fake update requests, etc. Because this malicious pest has the ability to obtain your browsing history and search queries, you will notice that the generated ads will be specifically targeted to look appealing to you. This is done so as to assure that the victim is most likely to click on them and thus help hackers to generate revenue from the pay-per-click method.

Browser hijackers are one of the most widely distributed types of ‘viruses’ out there. The most common ways of getting your computer infected with this cyber parasite are through spam email messages, email attachments and executable files, fake updates, dubious links and pop-ups, as well as bundled software and torrent files. It might surprise you, but browser hijackers can’t infiltrate your computer without you granting it access yourself. Often users unknowingly fall victims to this malware.

What we recommend our readers to do, in order to avoid a potential hijacker infection is to be cautious when downloading software from the internet. It is always best to opt for a Custom or Advanced type of installation, so as to have full control over what is actually being installed on your computer. This way you can easily just deselect any program or application that you find suspicious or never wanted to download, to begin with.

While malicious software like browser hijackers are not considered to be very dangerous, they still should not be underestimated. After all, you never know where those ads will reroute you to. You might be one click away from letting hackers take over your computer and steal personal information like credit card numbers, bank accounts, IP addresses, passwords, Login ID, etc. By following a dubious link or falling into the trap of a fake update pop-up, it is possible to get attacked by other viruses, but this time more dangerous than a hijacker. We’re talking about infections like Trojans, worms, spyware and even ransomware! Don’t just wait for the worst to happen before you decide to act.

As soon as you notice that your browser has been hijacked by this Jackettrain.com redirect, we advise to remove it immediately from your computer, before it is able to cause damages. Sure, ads might not seem dangerous, but your browser will eventually get so overloaded with them that it will start crashing, which will then result in the decrease of the overall performance of your PC. We can help you to successfully deal with this cyber parasite. All you have to do is follow our detailed instructions below.
