How did I get infected with?

The Playbar.biz  page pops up after a hijacker installation. But how do you suppose you got stuck with one? Well, it’s rather simple. You agreed to install it. Oh, yes. The tool sought your approval on its install. And, you gave it. You likely don’t remember doing it, but you did. Understand this. Hijackers have to gain your permission if they’re to enter your system. They have to ask whether you consent to let them in, or no. And, if you don’t give a positive response, no admittance. So, if Playbar.biz plagues your browsing, it asked. And, you complied. Don’t beat yourself up too hard, though. The tool didn’t just come out in the open, and seek access. Oh, no. Then you can just say ‘No.’ And, it can’t have that. It leaves nothing to chance. So, it has an array of sneaky ways of infiltration. More often than not, it asks for permission via freeware as it provides one of the easiest entry points. For reasons beyond comprehension, users throw caution to the wind during freeware installs. Most, if not all, don’t even read the terms and conditions. They just agree to everything, and hope for the best. Well, that strategy often leaves you with infections. In this case, a browser hijacker. If that’s something, you’d rather avoid, be extra thorough and careful. Always do your due diligence. Sometimes even a little extra attention can save you a ton of troubles.

Why is this dangerous?

It appears when you open a new tab o browse the web. It has replaced your preferred homepage and search engine. It’s everywhere. The page intercepts your every online move. And, it’s not just Playbar.biz. The hijacker, using it as a front, bombards you with other sites, as well. All of which are just as unreliable and obnoxious. Also, you’ll get bombarded with pop-up advertisements. And, since these interruptions occur all the time, they don’t go unnoticed for long. Your computer slows down. Your system suffers frequent crashes. You face a malware threat due to the unreliability of the ads. They conceal cyber infections. And, every time you click one, you agree to install the infection, it’s hiding. So, don’t click a single pop-up! Or, link! Or, anything the hijacker shows you! But as big of a threat as the unwanted malware installations are, it’s not the worst. The worst problem, you’ll face due to the hijacker, is the security issue. The tool, you’re stuck with, spies on you. It keeps track of your browsing, and catalogs your every move. After it decides it has enough data, it sends it to the people behind it. Once these strangers have it, they can use it as they see fit. Think about it. Unknown individuals with access to your personal and financial details. Don’t let that happen! Protect your privacy and your PC! The  Playbar.biz site is a shield, concealing a hijacker. Find its lurking spot, and delete it. Do it now.
