Remove Epicunitscan.info Homepage Hijacker

Suddenly Epicunitscan.info took over your homepage and you cannot remove it.

Epicunitscan.info is an irritating browser hijacker. This tool will wreck your browsing experience before you know it. Have you had to deal with hijackers so far? If not, check out our article. Here you will find all the information you need in order to tackle the virus. Browser hijackers are considered to be relatively harmless. Epicunitscan.info is indeed more annoying than it’s dangerous. However, don’t even for a second forget this is an infection. It was developed by cyber criminals to serve their malicious purposes. No parasite belongs on your machine. Even though Epicunitscan.info may appear to be useful, there’s nothing useful about hijackers. They pretend to be something they aren’t. Now, you should know better than to believe crooks’ empty promises. This cunning program will not enhance your online experience. It will bring to you a huge variety of threats and dangers instead. For starters, this nuisance gets activated immediately after installation. It modifies your browsers’ default settings. As you could imagine, your permission or authorization is completely irrelevant. Infections don’t tend to take your opinions into consideration. They tend to wreak havoc. The Epicunitscan.info hijacker takes control over your browsers in no time. It replaces your homepage and search engine with the parasite’s domain. Obviously, this domain is about as unreliable as they get. After all, it’s associated with a dangerous, sneaky and deceptive parasite. There’s no plausible scenario in which the virus doesn’t jeopardize your safety. You’re now stuck with the hijacker on a daily basis. Whatever browser you use, it will be there. The infection completely demolishes your everyday online experience. It redirects you to random, unsafe websites. That means you also cannot find what you search for anymore. In addition, you might accidentally download more parasites. Is that really what you’re aiming for, worsening your situation? Keep in mind that nothing generated by the virus could be trusted. This program might also generate commercials and other pop-up ads. Those are just as questionable as anything else displayed by the virus. Epicunitscan.info displays sponsored, potentially harmful search results. It exposes you to malware and gets on your nerves. As if that wasn’t enough, Epicunitscan.info poses a threat to your privacy. It leads to a poor PC performance and slows down the device. Hesitate no more. The hijacker has to go.

How did I get infected with?

No, you didn’t download the parasite yourself. PC infections are usually very stealthy. Instead of waiting for your permission, they rely on your haste. The most commonly used tactic is called freeware/shareware bundling. It is just as effective as it’s simple. How often do you install bundled programs? We assume, quite a lot. This is a quick way for you to download a whole bunch of infections at once. The problem is, it’s also a popular malware distribution technique. Always opt for the Custom or Advanced option in the Setup Wizard. By doing so, you will be in control of the entire installation process. If you’re not the one controlling it, it will be crooks. Also, check out the Terms and Conditions and EULA. Rushing towards the “I accept” button provides you no information whatsoever about the terms you accept. There might be some nasty term and/or condition that you strongly disagree with. Watch out for potential intruders and pay attention on time. Parasites also travel the Web via spam emails/messages, corrupted third-party ads and malicious torrents. Stay away from those as well.

Why is this dangerous?

The hijacker installs a browser extension. This plugin is compatible with Google Chrome, Mozilla Firefox and Internet Explorer. As you can tell, its last purpose is to be beneficial for you. By infecting your browsers, Epicunitscan.info generates web traffic. It eventually helps crooks gain dubious profit online. You don’t have to become a sponsor of hackers, though. You don’t have to put up with the parasite’s shenanigans. This infection redirects your search queries. It might also bombard you with pop-up ads and fake product deals. Due to the hijacker’s presence, your browsers now crash and freeze. You could even have Internet connection issues. To prevent serious, irreversible damage, get rid of this nuisance now.
