Suddenly Mysites123.com took over your homepage and you cannot remove it.

It’s the face of the infection, which you’re now stuck with. Yes, a malicious tool managed to slither its way into your system and is using the website as a front. And, it’s that malware, you should be worrying about. It’s your actual threat. It’s the thing that threatens both your and your system’s future with its very presence on your PC. That’s why experts strongly advise towards the prompt detection and deletion of the malevolent application as soon as you first become aware of its existence. That moment of realization will hit you soon after infiltration when the hijacker first redirects you to the Mysites123.com site. At first you might think it was a one-time mistake, a fluke. But then you’ll quickly see that it’s not so as this ‘fluke’ will continue to occur every single time you try to browse the web. Yes, each attempt you make to go online, will be interrupted by the appearance of  Mysites123.com. The site will take over your default homepage and search engine, and do you know what? That won’t be the only intrusion the hijacker will put you through. It will just be one of many yet to come. Some f the other ‘joys’ of having such an infection on your PC include being subjected to a never-ending flood of pop-up ads. Oh, yes. The hijacker exhibits adware’s most characteristic and obnoxious trait – it bombards you with advertisements. Soon after these disruptions commence, your computer’s performance will slow down to a crawl, and your system will start to crash frequently. But don’t think that’s the worst, the infection has to offer. Oh, no. Unfortunately, these are only the minor inconveniences you’ll experience. On top of them, you’ll also be faced with both a malware risk, as well as a security threat. Why not do yourself a favor, and remove the hijacker before it forces you to encounter and cope with all of these grievances, and more. Spare yourself the unpleasantness of its presence. As soon as you’re first redirected to Mysites123.com, do your best to find the malware responsible, and when you do – delete it. The sooner, the better.

How did I get infected with?

Hijackers are crafty, sneaky infections. Since they’re required to ask for your permission before installing themselves on your computer, they’ve come up with a myriad of ways to do so covertly and enter without you realizing it. Yes, they manage to slither in undetected, and you become aware of their presence on your PC only after they choose to reveal themselves. It takes skill to pull something like that off. Do you wish to know how the malware behind the Mysites123.com did it? Usually, it turns to the old but gold methods of invasion, which involve using spam email attachments, freeware, corrupted sites, or links. However, its favorite way of fooling you is through masking itself as a bogus update. For example, you believe you’re updating your Adobe Flash Player or Java but, in actuality, you’re installing a malicious application. By the time you come to that realization, the damage is already done. Don’t make it easy for the infection to invade your system! Don’t give into carelessness! Don’t rush, and don’t throw caution to the wind! That will only result in grievances and headaches. After all, distraction, haste, and gullibility almost always lead to negatives. So, be more careful. Do your due diligence, and don’t rely on luck. Be extra attentive, and you just might keep your PC hijacker-free.

Why is this dangerous?

It won’t take long before Mysites123.com becomes the bane of your browsing experience. After all, you’ll see it incessantly. Each and every time you try to go online, the hijacker will intercept, and redirect you to the page. And, not just that. These vexatious redirects will also be accompanied by the even more obnoxious pop-up advertisement, the tool will also force upon you. And, these infuriating intrusions won’t just test the limits of your patience. They’re also quite harmful. For example, apart from slowing down your computer and causing frequent crashes, the ads also pose a grave malware threat. They’re immensely unreliable as they’re bundled with various nasty infections. Infections, which are just waiting to slither into, and corrupt, your system. And, do you know what else? You’re the one, who lets them do just that. Confused? It’s rather straightforward. If you press a single pop-up, be it by choice or accident, you unknowingly agree to the installation of the malware, which is using it as a shield to hide behind. So, do NOT make the foolish mistake of clicking on even one of the ads you see. It will only lead to unpleasant repercussions. But, as severe as the threat of unwillingly installing more malware is, it still pales in comparison to the security risk, the hijacker presents you with. The tool, which is forcing Mysites123.com on you, jeopardizes your privacy. It threatens your personal and financial information as it spies on you. It begins the moment it settles on your PC and stops after it deems it has gathered enough data from you. When it comes to that conclusion, it proceeds to send everything it has gathered to the unknown third parties that published it. That means that strangers will be given access to your private life. Are you going to allow that? Are you ready for such a gamble? And, for what? The hijacker isn’t deserving of such a risk. Do yourself a favor, and remove it from your system the first chance you get. The appearance of Mysites123.com is an indication your system was compromised by a nasty infection. Take it as the warning that it is, and act on it immediately. It’s for the best.
