Are you being constantly redirected to the Progreth.com page? If yes, we have bad news for you. Your machine harbors a cyber threat. A browser hijacker, to be exact. The Progreth.com appears because a nasty hijacker is forcing it on you. First of all, do not panic. The hijacker is completely removable. This article is just for you. It provides detailed information about the pest. What it does, how it enters, how to prevent future infections, and, most importantly, how to remove it.
The thing is you have to act fast. The infection is currently on your PC, causing problems. And the longer it stays, the more problems you face. Take the Progreth.com site`s appearance as a warning and heed it. As soon as you spot the page taking control over your browsers, accept that fact you are hosting a browser hijacker and start looking for its hiding place. Once you locate it, delete it on the spot. Trust us, nothing good will come out of keeping this parasite on board. On the contrary. It brings along nothing but issues, headaches, and grievances. Don’t put up with that. Delete it ASAP and earn the gratitude of your future self.
Once the hijacker enters, the problems start pouring. The pest goes after your browsers first. It adds to all of them its pesky extension thus injecting them with countless pop-ups. You cannot visit a page without it being completely covered with commercials anymore. You see ads all the time. They appear in all shapes and forms, blinking and blocking pages` content. They even become more and more aggressive with each passing day. Why? Because hackers use them to boost web traffic to particular sites and gain pay-per-click revenue. Your clicks fill crooks` pockets.
You are also exposed to daily malware risk because of these ads. They are sponsored. Most of the at least. And there is no way of telling which adverts are safe and which aren’t. If you happen to click on the wrong one, you automatically download more infections on your already compromised and underperforming machine. It this your goal? To infect your PC even more. It is already suffering due to this single hijacker. Its speed slows down to a crawl. It lags and crashes. Your system reboots often which could lead to data loss. Getting any work done on- or offline become a real challenge. You are not safe. Your machine is not safe. Not until the hijacker remains. So, remove it. Once you do, everything will get back to normal. There will be no more ads and redirects. Your machine will perform okay again. All you have to do is follow our guide below. Do it now. The sooner, the better.
How did the infection enter? The Progreth.com site appeared because of the hijacker but the hijacker didn’t appear as if by magic. It was installed. By you. Of course, you don’t remember giving approval to the pest because it didn’t ask for it openly. It tricked you into giving it green light. Such pests turn to the old but gold means of infiltration. One of the most commonly used methods if bundled software.
Be very cautious when installing free programs off the web. Always read the Terms and Conditions/EULA before pressing “I accept”. Also, opt for the Custom settings in the Setup Wizard instead of the Basic ones. This way you are able to see all additionally attached apps which are about to be installed together with the app you originally wanted. Deselect all extras. More often than not, they are malicious and have been attached by crooks. Remove them and you can still finish installing the program you wanted in the first place. But in the future, be careful what sourced you use. Download your software from reliable sites only. Otherwise, you are opening the doors of your machine to infections.
