How Do Computers Become Infected With Browser Hijackers?

Browser hijackers can infect computers through a variety of methods, including shareware, freeware, and advertisement support applications “deployed through the installation of a web browser toolbar or add-on.” Adware and spyware infections, as well as exploitation of various browser vulnerabilities, can also lead to browser hijackers.

The following are signs that your browser has been hijacked:

• Searches that lead to alternative websites are referred to as misdirected searches.
• Multiple advertising pop-up warnings
• Web pages that take a long time to load
• Multiple toolbars on a web browser that the user did not install

Getting Rid of The Hijacker

The most typical symptoms associated with these silent PUP-type intrusions are speed and performance concerns, because even if the application is simply operating in the background, symptoms associated with internet surfing may not even show. The infection’s processes, on the other hand, slow things down.
