Suddenly OurSurfing.com took over your homepage and you cannot remove it.
OurSurfing.com is website that will replace your default homepage if you are using Internet Explorer, Mozilla Firefox and Google Chrome. Because it does that without permission, OurSurfing.com is regarded as a browser hijacker. Such infections are quite intrusive because they appear as if out of the blue and change your browser settings without your consent. We could say that the developers of OurSurfing.com are clever because they have designed the web page to look like google.com, which might trick users into believing that it is alright to use it. However, it is not, and the nasty hijacker has to be removed from the browser as soon as possible.
How did I get infected with?
For its distribution the browser hijacker mainly relies on bundled downloads, which are a preferred distribution method by the majority of creators of adware, hijackers, and other potentially unwanted programs. Users acquire bundled programs when they download freeware from questionable file sharing websites. Several additional applications get installed along with the chosen one, and the OurSurfing.com hijacker could be one of them. This also means that if OurSurfing.com has unexpectedly taken over your browser, you have more than one infection to worry about. Avoid unknown software sources and pay attention during setup in order to keep unwanted programs away from your PC.
Why is this dangerous?
Once it gets installed on the browser, OurSurfing.com will redirect users to its website every time they open a new tab or change their default browser. This only proves the belief that the hijacker is not as decent as it seems. Keeping such an infection on the PC can cause a lot of damage because it will attract other hijackers and adware to the system. What is more, when users place search queries in OurSurfing.com, they will be presented with sponsored search results and third-party links. Another thing typical for the hijacker is to behave as adware and to display third-party ads when users visit different websites. All of this makes OurSurfing.com dangerous because it exposes users to threats in all possible ways. This is why its removal is obligatory if you want to keep your system clean and safe.
