In most cases, browser hijackers prevent modifying or undoing the changes to these settings unless the rogue software is uninstalled. Browser hijackers promote the addresses of fake search engines by changing browser settings such as the default search engine, homepage, and new tab. Note that people do not generally visit these sites intentionally - in most cases, they are opened through dubious ads, other sites of this kind, or by installed PUAs.Ĭommonly, these deceptive pages trick users into installing browser hijackers, adware and other PUAs. You are advised to download applications only from official, trustworthy websites. Research shows that this dubious web page is used to advertise not one, but multiple PUAs.
