How did I get infected with?

Hijackers don’t just magically show up. They have to be invited in or, rather, you have to approve them in. Unless you, the user, explicitly permit their installation, they cannot enter your system. That means that since you’re currently dealing with the nuisances and grievances of the hijacker behind the Ebd123.com page, you allowed its install. It’s as simple as that. It asked for permission and you, evidently, granted it. If you hadn’t, you wouldn’t be stuck in this mess. But don’t be too hard on yourself. After all, hijackers are masterful at sneaking in undetected. Don’t think they just openly come out and ask for approval. Oh, no. They do it covertly, through slyness and subtlety. More often than not, they fool you into installing them using the old but gold means of infiltration. That includes hiding behind corrupted sites or links or hitching a ride with spam email attachments or freeware. Also, they can pretend to be bogus update. For instance, while you’re convinced you’re updating your Java or Adobe Flash Player, you’ll be wrong. In actuality, you’ll be installing a malicious application, which will continuously force the Ebd123.com site upon you while also causing a ton of other troubles. Prevent that from happening! Be extra vigilant and cautious every time you’re installing a tool or an update. Don’t rush and don’t give into naivety or distraction. After all, even a little extra attention goes a long way. It certainly won’t hurt to be a little more careful.

Why is this dangerous?

Once the hijacker dupes you into approving it into your system, it proceeds with its havoc-wreaking. Since it sneaks in undetected, at first, you have no idea that it’s there. The infection tends to reveal its existence by replacing your default search engine and homepage with Ebd123.com. That’s its big, bright neon sign, announcing its presence. Take it as the warning it is, and accept a hijacker is lurking somewhere in the corners of your PC. But don’t think the nasty tool stops there. Oh, no. The little switch is just the beginning of a string of unwanted, unauthorized changes. The hijacker can surprise you with new reshuffles daily, and it probably will, too. That’s because the malicious application is free to implement any changes it so desires without bothering to ask for your permission or to inform you. Imagine turning on your PC and finding it brimming with malware. That’s not such an unlikely scenario, considering the hijacker is free to do it if it feels like it. What’s more, your browsing experience will never be the same again after the infection’s invasion. It will disrupt your attempts to browse the web incessantly by redirecting you to Ebd123.com every single time, as well as bombarding you with annoying pop-up advertisements. All of these constant intrusions will inevitably lead to your computer’s performance slowing down to a crawl and your system crashing frequently. But all of these issues will seem like a walk in the park, compared to the worst one, the hijacker will place upon you, which is the security risk. As soon as the application settles on your PC, it begins to spy on you. But it doesn’t just monitor your online activities. Oh, no. It also catalogs them. The pesky tool, hiding behind the Ebd123.com page, gathers information on your every online move, and when it deems it has a sufficient amount of data, sends it to the people that published it. That means unknown third parties will have access to your personal and financial information. Strangers with unclear, possibly wicked, intentions. The question is, are you going to stand by and just allow that to happen? Here’s a hint: don’t. Protect yourself and your system, and delete the intrusive, harmful hijacker as soon as it first throws Ebd123.com your way. Your future self will surely thank you for it.
