If you are having issues with your browser because it shows you too many ads when you open it and because it frequently initiates page-redirects to advertising-oriented sites and sites that aggressively try to get you to purchase some item or service, then you probably want to find a way to stop all this and return the browser to its regular state. In order to do that, however, you first need to learn what the cause behind all of this really is. In the current case, the symptoms we described are typical for the so-called browser hijackers. Those are software elements that are supposed to enter the users’ browsers and bring to them changes like a replaced starting page address or a replaced search engine service. In addition to that, there is also the ads generation and the invasive page-redirects. Chrome, Safari, Firefox or any other browser that you may have in your computer could easily get a hijacker installed in it because the hijackers aren’t really some sort of viruses, Ransomware or malware that can harm you, and that is why the antivirus you may have in your machine may not flag them as unwanted and may not take any actions towards removing them. In the end, the main goal of most hijackers is aggressive online promotion – they typically try to generate more exposure to a certain page or make more people use a certain custom search engine. However, though they aren’t software pieces with malicious abilities like Ransomware and Trojans, removing them is still preferable for the sake of your system’s safety.
