How did I get infected with?

Hijackers are pretty sneaky. The one, lurking behind Yoursite123.com, is no exception. They slither into your system via slyness and finesse as they’re masters of deceit. Applications, like the one you’re stuck with, aren’t shy about using every trick in the book to fool you into allowing them into your computer. And, not only do they trick you into agreeing to their install, but they also keep you oblivious to it. That’s right. On top of being duped into approving the installment of a dangerous and highly damaging program, you’re also utterly clueless about doing it. Do you know how the hijacker managed to deceive you in such a skillful manner? It’s rather straightforward. As all such malicious tools, this one preyed on your carelessness. More often than not, they turn to the old but gold means of infiltration. But they cannot succeed in entering your PC undetected without you. Or, more precisely without you providing your distraction, naivety, and haste. Hijackers most commonly used methods include hitching a ride with spam email attachments or freeware, or hiding behind corrupted sites or links. They can also pretend to be fake updates. For example, while you may be convinced you’re updating your Java or Adobe Flash Player, in reality, you’re installing a hazardous infection, which will end up overflowing your system with all kinds of issues. You ca easily avoid dealing with the grievances, caused by the tool imposing Yoursite123.com on you, by being even a tad more careful. Don’t rush, don’t throw caution to the wind, and don’t rely on luck. Instead, be extra vigilant and do your due diligence. Even a little extra attention can save you a ton of troubles and headaches.

It replaces them with Yoursite123.com, and from then on, every time you try to go online, you see the page pop up. But don’t think its meddling stops there. Oh, no.

For one, it will also cause you further grief by slowing down your computer’s performance to a crawl, and making your system crash frequently. These experiences are hardly what you call ‘fun,’ and they’re just some of the ‘perks,’ brought to you by the malware you unwillingly agreed to install. But all of these pale in comparison to the worst part of having a hijacker reside on your PC.
