The Mysupersearch.net website was forced on you. You never chose it to be your homepage. Mysupersearch.net is the face of yet another browser hijacker. This parasite was installed on your computer and is now wreaking havoc. The hijacker turned your web browser against you. Everything you do online is monitored. Everything. Which websites you visit, search inquiries, even your pre-infection browsing history. There is nothing private. The Mysupersearch.net hijacker will use the collected information to target you with advertisements. Thus, if you enter “sneakers” into some search engine, the malicious tool will start to bombard you with ads for similar items. Don’t trust the ads. Most of them are leading to shady websites. The hijacker uses a pay-per-click marketing to generate revenue for its owners. Yet, it doesn’t check the advertisers. Hackers often get an advantage of such malicious tools. If you click on a corrupted link or ad, a virus may be downloaded directly on your computer. There, unfortunately, is no way to tell which ads are corrupted and which are not. It is better to avoid all commercials while the Mysupersearch.net hijacker remains active on your machine. Your best course of action is to remove the infection. You must not put up with the malicious program. If you act promptly, you can remove it with ease.

How did I get infected with?

The Mysupersearch.net hijacker might have arrived as a bundled program to some freeware/shareware you have downloaded off the web. Developers tend to attach extra programs to the installation files of many free apps. Be always vigilant. This method is quite common. Most of the free applications are bundled with extras. This time you were lucky. The hijacker can be removed. Yet, dangerous viruses also use the bundling method to travel the web. What will you do if you infect your machine with ransomware? Be careful. When installing a program, opt for advance tab or button. This installation wizard is the only way you can see all extras that are about to be installed. Under the advanced setup, you will be given a choice. The choice to deny the installation of all additional tools. Don’t rush. Examine the list of extra apps and install only the tools you trust. Read the terms and conditions. Don’t skip this step. It is the only way you can spot breaches. If you think that something looks suspicious, abort the installation immediately. This is your computer. You are the one who decides what to be installed on it!

Why is this dangerous?

The Mysupersearch.net hijacker has changed your homepage. It has also replaced your default search engine. The search results you are seeing now, are corrupted. The hijacker injects fake entries among them. These entries are sponsored. In other word, adverts. Yet, there is no indication which entries are organic and which are not. Doing an objective online research is an impossible task. Don’t neglect this problem. The ads may redirect you to shady websites. As long as they pay, anyone can use the hijacker to promote. Dodgy websites pay hefty sums for their links to be displayed at the top. Furthermore, hackers, too, are using the malicious tool. One click is all it takes for a virus to be distributed to your computer. Yet, all these issues are nothing compared to what may happen with your usernames and passwords. The hijacker can collect such an information. It can also see your email addresses. Check your inbox, it is probably full of junk mail. There is nothing private any longer. The hijacker is spying on you. It monitors your online activities. Every bit of information it has collected will be used against you. Luckily, you can put an end to this madness. Follow our guide and get rid of this parasite for good.
