If the Screenrecordsearch.com page takes over your browsers all of a sudden, then you are infected with a browser hijacker. Yes, the two go hand in hand. The hijacker has already slithered on your PC and it is the one forcing the malicious page on you. You should now that the more time this pest spends on your machine, the more time it has to wreck it. Act fast and get rid of the infection while you still have time. It does not only turn your online activities into a nightmare but it also poses a serious risk to your privacy. The tool is programmed to spy on you and monitor every move you make online. Of course, it doesn’t settle only with observing. It also shares everything that it finds with its developers. It keeps on collecting valuable information and when it deems it has enough, it hands it over to the crooks behind it. Does this sound like a good idea to you? Of course, not. Strangers having access to your personal data is the worst possible outcome. Don’t let it get that far but delete the hijacker immediately. The sooner it is gone, the better.

As we said, your biggest problem is the security threat this infection poses. But there are many more issues to come. For instance, the pest is called a hijacker for a reason. It actually hijacks your browsers by adding to them its pesky plugin and taking complete control over them. You are not the one in charge anymore. You start noticing modifications which you don’t remember authorizing. And that’s because you didn’t. The hijacker doesn’t need your permission to make changes. Its newly-added plugin took care of that. So, your browsers are not beyond your control. Their settings have been altered. For example, your previous homepage and search engine are gone and the Screenrecordsearch.com page is in their place. Did you make that reshuffle? Were you even asked or at least informed of the change? No. The parasite act as it sees fit.
