How did you get infected? The most popular tactic that hijackers use is called freeware bundling. Hackers attach the hijacker to another program on the web and the nothing-suspecting and negligent users download it together with that program. This method is so effective mostly because users tend to throw caution to the wind during installation processes. They don’t pay attention and rush. This is a huge mistake. Preventing infections requires vigilance and time.

Next time you install something, opt for the Custom settings in the Setup Wizard instead of the Basic ones. You will be able to see each additionally attached app in the bundles as well as deselect it. Which you should. These extras are usually malicious and if you don’t notice them on time, they get installed on your machine. This is how you end up infected. But a little extra time and attention could save you the troubles. Don’t be careless and distracted. Choose safety over speed and protect your computer.
