Suddenly Netmahal.portalsepeti.com took over your homepage and you cannot remove it.
Netmahal.portalsepeti.com is the name of a highly unoriginal but impressively annoying Turkish redirect virus. Despite this parasite’s touching attempts to convince you that it’s a decent search engine that you need in your life, in reality, this is a browser hijacker. And it has all the malicious potential needed to cause you irreversible damage while irritating you and lying to your face at the same time. Does it sound like a party yet? It’s going to get worse. After netmahal.portalsepeti.com manages to get downloaded on your PC system, it immediately goes after your browsers and replaces both your homepage and default search engine with its own questionable domain. This way all your search queries will be redirected towards the specific websites that netmahal.portalsepeti.com’s developers want you to see. Why so? Because this way crooks generate web traffic towards those exact pages thus gaining revenue. Now that you know money is involved, you are feeling nervous? As you know, cyber criminals aren’t popular for their care and liability so you will be bombarded with some extremely dangerous search results which, on top of it all, have nothing to do with what you were originally searching for online. Unfortunately, your preferences are no longer relevant once this nasty redirect parasite gets to you and keep in mind that its sneaky ways are just getting started. You might also notice an excessive amount of unreliable pop-up ads, unreliable product offers, unreliable software updates and all other kinds of potentially dangerous unreliable web links on your PC screen. Again, whether you’re willing to see this pile of links every time you attempt to browse the Web or not is irrelevant. Hijackers are very intrusive and resourceful, as you’re soon to be convinced, so the sooner you manage to get rid of netmahal.portalsepeti.com, the better. This nuisance of a program also successfully monitors your browsing-related activities so hackers could sell it later on and make money directly at your expense. Does that sound fair to you? The netmahal.portalsepeti.com official website comes entirely in Turkish and even though it may seem to be harmless as first sight, it is not. Frankly speaking, this infection gives you plenty of reasons to remove it and not a single one to keep it on board so make sure you do the right thing. Uninstall the parasite and regain control over your Internet experience.
How did I get infected with?
Browser hijackers don’t deviate from the classic pattern that most cyber parasites use and netmahal.portalsepeti.com is no exception. There is a slight possibility that you installed this pest voluntarily from its website because you believed its non-existent reliability. However, that is not usually the case. Viruses tend to travel in Web using stealthy and extremely unfair techniques as the more time you spend oblivious to the fact your machine has been infected, the better for hackers. They normally include at least one of their malicious creations to freeware/shareware bundles and unless you pay close attention to the programs you install, you will end up installing the parasite as well. As you can see, even though it’s very easy to protect your machine and deny the virus access to your device, many PC users rush the installation process and fail to spot the intruder on time. Always opt for the Advanced or Custom option in the Setup Wizard to make sure there is no unwanted bonus attachment to the bundle. Also, reading the Terms and Conditions or the EULA (End User License Agreement) is another good idea because simply clicking the “I agree” button doesn’t really make it very clear what exactly you’re agreeing to.
Why is this dangerous?
Hijackers were never meant to enhance your browsing experience, no matter what their developers may claim. You can’t genuinely expect hackers to tell you the truth, can you? After netmahal.portalsepeti.com sneakily lands on your machine, it installs a nasty browser extension which easily takes down three of the most commonly used browsers. This way, after it modifies the settings of Google Chrome, Mozilla Firefox and Internet Explorer, the virus takes control over your search queries. It goes without saying that apart from the obvious fact you will no longer be able to find what you’re searching for, you’re exposing yourself directly to malware. Being sponsored, all search results, program updates, commercials and pop-ups could lead you to malicious websites filled with infections. However, you already have one aggressive hijacker to worry about, do you need more malware right now? We assume not. You should also keep in mind that netmahal.portalsepeti.com not only constantly redirects you but also spies on your personal (and probably quite sensitive) data as well. That means your IP addresses, browsing history, email addresses, usernames and passwords get sent straight to hackers and could easily be used against you later on. To top it all, due to the hijacker’s undesirable presence on your machine, the PC speed will be slowed down significantly, your browsers will start occasionally freezing and/or crashing and you overall Internet experience will be effectively disrupted. To put an end to these shenanigans, please follow the detailed removal guide you will find down below and make sure you’ve deleted netmahal.portalsepeti.com for good.
