Do you constantly get redirected to the Lonlingdom.cool website? We have some bad news for you. It looks like your computer has been infiltrated by a browser hijacker. This malicious software takes over your browser and modifies any settings it sees fit. Victims of this malware often notice that their homepage, new tab pages and preferred search engine have been changed to the Lonlingdom.cool page.

What’s more, hijackers are known to bombard the victim’s screen with annoying in-text and banner ads, as well as pop-ups that will be very alluring to the user. That’s because this parasite has the ability to obtain your browser history, habits and even search queries, so as to provide all kinds of advertisements that the user is most likely to click on. Often, such adverts will be in the form of exclusive deals and offers, special coupons, sales, blinking messages that are easy to catch the eye, fake updates, etc. The main goal of the browser hijacker is to create income through the pay-per-click or pay-per-view method.

The most common means of browser hijacker distribution is via bundled software, fake update messages, spam emails and attachments, bogus links and ads, and many more. Users might see a random pop-up that is urging them to update a program or application on their computer, by making them click on a suspicious link. In most cases, such update requests are fake. Don’t fall into their trap. Always use reliable and licensed sources to update your software. When you download software bundles, be very cautious.

Developers often repackage programs and bundle them along with malware that is not properly disclosed. This makes victims unaware that they are in fact allowing a malicious parasite on their computer. To avoid such thing, you should opt for a Custom or Advanced type of installation. This way, all you have to do is simply deselect any unnecessary software that you deem suspicious or never intended to download in the first place.

Browser hijackers may not be as dangerous as viruses from the Trojan Horse or ransomware category, but they still should not be underestimated! Behind the ads and pop-ups generated by this malicious parasite may lurk hidden dangers! It is very possible to unknowingly grant hackers access to your computer, by clicking on an infected advertisement. By doing this, you put your privacy and security in even greater danger!
