Top8844.com is a malicious and intrusive browser hijacker. It very much resembles the notorious V9 Portal Site Homepage. This dangerous tool slithers its way into your system by means of slyness and subtlety and then proceeds to mess it up. Once it’s in, there’s nothing subtle about it. It starts wreaking havoc as soon as it latches onto your computer, and the issues start piling up almost instantaneously. The first one you’ll be forced to deal with, courtesy of the hijacker, will be the unapproved changes that will start popping up. Shortly after infection, the tool reveals its presence by switching your default homepage and search engine with Top8844.com. You turn on your PC one day, and there it is! You have no memory of permitting this switch, or of even installing the tool in the first place, but it’s there nonetheless. And, don’t think that will be the end of the unapproved reshuffles the hijacker will make. Oh, no. That’s just the tip of the iceberg. If you’re confused, don’t be. It’s pretty straightforward. Top8844.com proceeds to change anything and everything it so desires simply because it can. The hijacker can implement all the changes it wishes because after it gains access to your system, it’s no longer bound to seek you permission before making reshuffles. Just try to imagine the consequences of having a hazardous tool on your computer that’s able to do whatever it feels like doing, whenever it feels like doing it. Spare yourself the headaches and troubles that inevitably follow this tool, and delete it the first chance you get. You won’t regret it, and your future self will thank you for it.

How did I get infected with?

Top8844.com resorts to the usual antics in order to fool you into allowing it in. The tool has an entire arsenal of tricks it can resort to and is also highly resourceful and a master of deceit. That’s why it has no problem getting you to permit its install. In fact, the hijacker is so skilled in its trickery that it not only dupes you into approving its installation, but also manages to keep you oblivious to the fact that you did. The tool turns to the old but gold methods of invasion so as to sneak in undetected. More often than not, it hitches a ride with freeware or hides behind spam email attachments, corrupted links, or websites. The hijacker can also pose as a bogus system or program update. For example, while you may be convinced that you’re updating your Java or Adobe Flash Player, in actuality, you’ll be installing a damaging and dangerous tool. If you wish to not get stuck with Top8844.com and be forced to deal with its never-ending daily messes, be sure to be more careful and to not rush! Remember that haste, naivety, and distraction are NOT your friends! They’re your enemies, and if you let them guide you, they’ll only lead you to regret. Don’t forget that a little extra attention today can save you a lot of troubles tomorrow.

Why is this dangerous?

Top8844.com is extremely hazardous. That’s because the tool is able to perform any changes to your system it so wishes. As was already stated, after the hijacker manages to trick you into giving your permission for its install, it’s no longer bound to seek it ever again. It can simply do whatever it so desires, and you’ll just have to deal with it. That’s a scary possibility that hides many risks. The tool’s not even required to inform you! It can surprise you with its doings. And, imagine how surprised you’ll be to turn on your computer and find it brimming with malware. Oh, yes. Top8844.com can easily choose to install as many malevolent tools as it wants to, and there’s nothing you can do to stop it. Well, except delete it. The only way, to avoid all of these issues and all the others that will follow, is to remove the hijacker as soon as you possibly can. If you don’t, you’re only setting yourself up for a bad time. Not only will the tool redirect you to Top8844.com every time you attempt to use your browser, but it will also flood you with pop-up ads. That’s right. The hijacker displays adware’s most infuriating characteristic. It will interrupt your online experience each and every time you try to browse the web. And, aside from incredibly obnoxious for you, that’s also highly damaging to your PC. Soon after the ads start popping up, your computer’s performance slows down to a crawl, and you start to experience frequent system crashes. Furthermore, the ads are so immensely unreliable that if you click on even one, all you’ll have to show for it is more malware getting installed. But that’s not even the worst part. The most unfavorable issue you’ll be forced to deal with will undoubtedly be the grave security risk the tool places upon you. Once the tool sneaks into your system, it starts spying on you in an attempt to steal your personal and financial information and hand it to the unknown third parties behind it. Make no mistake! If you don’t get rid of Top8844.com, it will succeed in its endeavors! Are you willing to grant access to your private life to wicked strangers with agendas? The choice is yours.
