Can’t Remove Biaoji hijacker virus? This page includes detailed Biaoji Removal instructions!

Biaoji is the name of a relatively new browser hijacker. In other words, the nth cyber infection that’s roaming the Web. If you’ve had the misfortune of downloading this program, keep on reading. You’ll learn all you need to know about the parasite in today’s article. The sooner you take measures and uninstall Biaoji, the better. You have absolutely nothing to lose by deleting this program. On the other hand, you do have quite a lot to gain. Being a classic hijacker, the parasite goes after your browsers. It shamelessly modifies both your search engine and homepage. Obviously, your permission about these changes remains out of the picture. Biaoji replaces the search engine/browser homepage with its domain. Needless to remind you that this is a dangerous domain. After all, you have an infection on board. The Biaoji virus will certainly not attempt to improve your online experience. It will effectively stand in your way instead. Hackers use the virus to inject your once trusty browsers with sponsored web links. As you could imagine, having such dubious links all over your PC screen is very dangerous. If you see a certain web link, that’s only because crooks want you to be seeing it. There’s nothing remotely beneficial for you from the parasite’s presence. Biaoji may be supposed to provide accurate search results but it’s actually harmful. Instead of safe links, you will come across sponsored (and unreliable) ones. And this is just the beginning of this program’s trickery. Biaoji is more than capable of causing you irreversible harm. It is up to you whether this pest will manage to worsen your situation or not. Stay away from the hijacker’s web links because Biaoji is unpredictable. It also serves as a back door to malware and causes your PC to underperform. In addition, your overwhelmed browsers start freezing and crashing all the time. No, using your computer isn’t fun anymore. It’s certainly no longer safe. Biaoji provides you a never-ending pile of sponsored, questionable web links. It adds a dangerous plugin or extension to all your browsers. The virus might also generate sponsored ads which are just as dangerous as the search results. To sum up, Biaoji makes it impossible to surf the Web at peace. It also constantly harasses you and gets on your nerves every time you use your PC. Do you see why this nuisance has to go?

How did I get infected with?

Hijackers rarely wait for permission to get installed. Why would they when there are plenty of stealthy methods? The Biaoji virus didn’t need your consent either. It was most likely bundled with other programs that you download off of the Internet. Therefore, you could easily prevent malware infiltration next time you install bundles. First of all, stay away from illegitimate websites. The same piece of advice goes for the unverified program bundles you may get tricked into installing. Also, during the process, you can’t afford to skip steps. Watch out for potential “bonuses” that hackers may have attached to the bundle. It is your job to protect your PC system from parasites. To succeed, take your time in the process. Opt for the custom or advanced option in the Setup Wizard. This will allow you to spot and deselect any malicious bonus before it’s too late. Remember, all kinds of infections use that very same tactic. Adware-type programs, hijackers, Trojan horses, ransomware. You could download some extremely harmful and destructive parasite. To prevent it, be cautious. Keep an eye out for unwanted intruders instead of rushing. Another rather popular technique involves spam messages/email-attachments, and fake torrents/program updates. It is definitely worth it to be careful and keep your device infection-free.

Why is this dangerous?

Biaoji is compatible with all your preferred browsers. It hijacks Mozilla Firefox, Google Chrome and Internet Explorer. As mentioned, this parasite adds an extension or a plugin to the target browsers. Its shenanigans don’t require your authorization in any way. Biaoji only has one goal – to boost the web traffic to some particular pages and to redirect you. Eventually, the hijacker’s developers gain profit through the pay-per-click mechanism. It goes without saying that their revenue comes solely at your expense. The parasite bombards you with sponsored, incredibly unsafe web links and ads. It even spies on your browsing history, IP addresses and other sensitive details. The problem is that crooks get direct access to your information. Identity theft and financial scams are just some of the possible scenarios. To delete this parasite manually, please follow our detailed removal guide down below.
