How did I get infected with?
search.safer.com is quite resourceful when it comes to getting your permission for its installation. It’s so skilled that not only do you allow it in, but you also have no idea that you did. Some of its methods of infiltration involve the use of corrupted websites, corrupted links, and spam email attachments. However, more often than not, it prefers to use freeware. That’s because most users pay little to no attention when going through its installation, which provides search.safer.com with possibly the easiest way in. For some reason, users believe that it’s a grand idea to skip reading the terms and conditions, and just agree to everything in haste. This is NOT a grand idea. Especially when it comes to freeware as it is often bundled with all sorts of malware. search.safer.com prays on your distraction, so maybe if you’re a bit more attentive, you’ll avoid infection. The hijacker can also pose as a bogus system or program update. As soon as you click “Install”, “Agree”, or whatever it shows you, you’re stuck with it.
Why is this dangerous?
The presence of search.safer.com in your system causes an entire array of issues. You’ll have to get used to a slower PC performance, and frequent system crashes. Not only that, but the hijacker will also flood you with a never-ending waterfall of pop-up advertisements. The ads have one primary objective, and that is to generate web traffic for specific websites and produce pay-per-click profits for specific individuals. They won’t stop appearing unless you get rid of the browser hijacker altogether. Worst of all, the vexatious program will jeopardize your security. That’s right. search.safer.com uses keyloggers with which it keeps track of every move you make. Once it feels it has collected enough information on you, it sends the collected data to the unknown wicked people behind it. After it falls in their hands, they can use it as they see fit, and there’s nothing you can do about it. Don’t take such a tremendous gamble! Get rid of search.safer.com at once!
