The program has an entire array of methods with which it can dupe you into approving its installation without you even realizing it. It is so skilled at deception that, not only do you consent to a highly dangerous and harmful application’s installation, but you’re also utterly oblivious to the fact that you did. Its most common means of invasion include the use of freeware, spam email attachments, corrupted links, and websites. It uses them as a shield to hide behind and enters without you even suspecting it. However, its most preferred method is through, so called, “updates.” The application pretends to be a system or program update, and while you’re thinking you’re updating your Java or Adobe Flash Player, in reality, you agree to let in a malicious and unsafe tool.

Why are these ads dangerous?

Aside from its ability to severely damage your system, the hijacker can, and will, also annoy you to no end. How? Well, via the incessant pop-up ads, of course. The ads appear every single time you try to use your browser, and since that happens quite a lot, you’ll start to experience frequent system crashes and slower PC performance. But the issues don’t stop here. Not only will you face never-ending pop-ups and the threat of more malware installs, but your privacy will also be placed in grave jeopardy. The program is designed to act as a spy and steal your personal and financial information. Do you think Browser-detect.com is worth the risk? Think long and hard before you answer.
