Remove En.shaibaoj.in Hijacker from Chrome/Firefox/IE

Suddenly en.shaibaoj.in took over your homepage and you cannot remove it.

A relatively new cyber issue that many PC users are struggling with, is being redirected to en.shaibaoj.in. Are you one of them? Then you’re certainly in for trouble. The only reason why you’ve lost control over your computer and browsers is because your machine has been recently infected. Yes, that’s correct, the device in front of you is no longer virus-free. That means you have to take care of your compromised computer as soon as possible because the situation you’re in right now is very problematic. Unfortunately, we have to inform you that some adware infection has invaded your PC. Cyber parasites are incredibly stealthy so it shouldn’t really come as shocking news that you never realized your computer is getting compromised. However, you simply cannot afford to keep this pest on board. Why not? Well, for starters, it’s a parasite. This infection not only demolishes your browsing experience and irritates you immensely, but also puts your computer in danger. Don’t hesitate. Once your machine gets infected, the virus begins to modify your browser settings to serve its own malicious purposes. Not your own. Long story short, now that your PC is infected, your Internet experience is no longer up to you; it’s up to hackers. After the parasite adds its questionable browser extension (again, behind your back), it begins to redirect you towards en.shaibaoj.in and some equally unreliable Chinese cooking websites. As already mentioned, this happens strictly for monetizing purposes. Crooks gain revenue through the dubious pay-per-click mechanism which means clicking anything you see on the PC screen is quite a gamble. Due to the parasite’s manipulations you can’t find what you search for online and you’re constantly bombarded with ads. Those commercials include an impressively rich variety of questionable coupons, discounts, product deals, best prices, price comparisons, etc. None of them is reliable enough for you to believe it. If anything, clicking any of those commercials might install more malware on your already compromised machine. It is not a risk worth taking. Your Internet experience, search queries and overall preferences are irrelevant now that your PC is infected. So why would you allows crooks to harass you? You’re also practically becoming their sponsor by keeping the parasite on board instead of removing it. Why would you help cyber criminals out? In addition, the virus also steals browsing-related information so crooks could sell it later on for marketing purposes. It goes without saying how dangerous this is because your sensitive data could easily be sent into the wrong hands. Even though financial scams and, the absolute worst case scenario, identity theft, don’t happen often, those are definitely not a threat you should overlook. Do the right thing concerning your computer, your online security, your privacy and your nerves – uninstall the virus.

How did I get infected with?

So you never agreed to install the parasite; then how did it end up on board? You’re probably quite curious to know what went wrong with your safety. Even though hackers have many infiltration methods to choose from, one of the most commonly used techniques nowadays is called freeware/shareware bundling. That means you’ve probably installed something that you shouldn’t have. Keep in mind that, more often than not, the illegitimate program bundles on the Web include at least one bonus infection attached to the safe programs there. You have to spot it and deselect it on time; otherwise, you’re practically compromising your PC yourself. And you have no one else to blame later on. Always take your time in the installation and don’t skip steps – you might be also skipping numerous opportunities to protect your machine from malware. Another rule of thumb for the future – don’t rush towards the “I accept” option. Instead, check out the Terms and Conditions first so you know exactly what you’re accepting and why. The more cautious you are online, the better.

Why is this dangerous?

To begin with, now that you’re stumbling across en.shaibaoj.in on a daily basis, you can’t browse the Web calmly. You’re forced to be wasting your time dealing with this extremely unreliable website and its pop-ups. Also, your browsers are no longer trustworthy. The virus adds a malicious extension which works just fine with Internet Explorer, Google Chrome and Mozilla Firefox so now you have to constantly watch out for potential threats. Stay away from all pop-ups, pop-unders, interstitials, banners, etc. you may see on your PC screen because they are simply unreliable. Same piece of advice goes for the program updates or other third-party web links you might come across while attempting to browse the Web. As we mentioned already, your privacy is seriously jeopardized as well. If you’re particularly unlucky, hackers may get free access to some private information of yours. Even if they don’t, the parasite’s will at least monitor your browsing history, search queries, passwords and usernames, etc. which could also bring upon you various privacy threats. If you’ve had it with this program’s shenanigans, take adequate, quick measures. To get rid of the nuisance manually, please follow the comprehensive removal guide that you will find down below.
