All browser hijackers have one thing in common and it is the ability to change your browser settings as soon as they get installed on your virtual machine. As the changes are obvious, you can notice them the minute they are made. Usually, these modifications affect your default homepage and search provider as soon as the hijacker gains access to your browser. Thus, if you suddenly find out that www-homepage.com has replaced your default homepage and search engine, it is certain that you will have to deal with a browser hijacker.

Unfortunately, the problem with such infections is that they are not only intrusive, but they can also threaten your system’s security by exposing it to a number of dangerous infections. Considering this fact, removing the www-homepage.com hijacker is strongly recommended.

In fact, browser hijackers, adware programs, and potentially unwanted programs are all the same, according to their method of distribution. Usually, such infections are not distributed officially or downloaded directly.

Quite often, computer users acquire such applications without even realizing the huge risk for their virtual security.
