It’s a rather minuscule one, but that’s not the same as ‘non-existent.’ So, as minor as it may be, will you take it? Also, are you going to allow the tool to spy on your browsing habits? To gather information from you? Information, which it then sends to strangers to use as they see fit? How about instead of that, you protect yourself and your PC? Keep your personal and financial data away from cyber criminals. Keep your system safe. Remove the hijacker threat as soon as you discover its existence.

How did I get infected with?

Jurnal-life.org pops up after a hijacker slithers its way into your system. But those types of tools don’t appear out of the blue. They ask for the user’s permission to enter. And, they proceed with installment, only after receiving your consent. So, if a hijacker plagues your PC, you’re to blame. You agreed to allow it into your system. Odds are, you didn’t realize it at the time. But that doesn’t change the fact that you did. Most infections prey on your carelessness to sneak into your computer. Hijackers are no exception. They don’t outright come forward, and seek permission. If they did, you can refuse them. And, that’s a chance, they don’t take. Instead, the malicious applications turn to trickery. They use the old but gold means of invasion to seek your approval. So, they still follow the ‘rules.’ They do seek your consent on their admission. Only, they do it in a covert manner. Oftentimes, hijackers hide behind freeware as it’s one of the easiest entry points. Most users don’t pay enough attention when installing freeware. And, those users end up with malware. Don’t be that kind of user! Always do your due diligence when installing tools or updates. Take everything with a grain of salt. That extra attention goes a long way. It can save you a ton of troubles. Other common methods of infiltration include spam email attachments, and corrupted links. Also, the tool can pose as a bogus update. Like, Java or Adobe Flash Player. Don’t give into gullibility. Don’t rush. Don’t throw caution to the wind. Carelessness tends to lead to infections, while vigilance helps to keep them away.

Why is this dangerous?

After the hijacker sneaks into your system, it doesn’t take long before it lets you know of its presence. You start to experience intrusions and reshuffles that take you by surprise. For one, you find your default homepage and search engine switched. You didn’t agree to such a chance. You weren’t aware of its implementation. But, there it is. In their stead, you see the Jurnal-life.org page. You also start to see it every time you so much as touch your browser. Open a new tab, Jurnal-life.org pops up. Surf the web, it’s among the suggested links. The website traces your every online move. And, it’s not only redirects you suffer. The hijacker also bombards you with an utter avalanche of pop-up advertisements. It hardly comes as a surprise that these disruptions have repercussions, as well. Since they occur all the time, pretty soon your system starts to crash. And, it crashes all the time. Your computer also slows down to a crawl. Your online experience turns into a nightmare. Couple these minor annoyances with the major risk, and it’s quite obvious. The hijacker does not belong on your computer. You have t remove it the first chance you get. The more time you allow it on your system, the more opportunities it has to wreck it. And, the infection isn’t one to miss out on a single opportunity. Do what’s best for yourself and your PC, and get rid of the tool ASAP. Find where it lurks, and delete it on discovery. Your future self will thank you for your prompt reaction to the threat.
