Suddenly Rapsio.com took over your homepage and you cannot remove it.
Does rapsio.com keep popping up in the place of your usual search engine and homepage every time you launch your web browser? Well, if that’s the case, you have a browser hijacker on your hands. Once rapsio.com makes its way to your system, you’ll start experiencing a whole bundle of troubles. Replacing your default search engine and homepage is just the beginning, a warm up, as the changes don’t stop there. After successfully infiltrating your computer, this malicious hijacker proceeds to make all kinds of alterations to your system without requesting your authorization first. That’s right. It’s no longer required to seek your approval before implementing changes. That means it can install malware, adware, viruses, and basically everything, and you’ll just be left to suffer the consequences. And they will be severe and most definitely annoying. Spare yourself the headaches and issues of having to deal with this intrusive program, and delete it as soon as you possibly can.
How did I get infected with?
Rapsio.com resorts to the usual antics when it comes to infecting your computer. It turns to deception and finesse so as to trick you into approving its installation while at the same time, sneaks in undetected. More often than not, it deceives you by hiding behind spam email attachments, corrupted websites, and corrupted links. It can also pose as a false system or program update. However, its preferred method of infection is certainly through freeware. It’s possibly the easiest entry point as most users pay little to no attention during its installation. Instead of reading the terms and conditions carefully, they just agree to everything in haste and end up paying for their distraction. Keep your guard up and your eyes open, and maybe you won’t get stuck with a hijacker like rapsio.com.
Why is this dangerous?
rapsio.com can cause you an entire array of problems after it slithers into your system. For one, it slows down your computer’s performance to a crawl and causes frequent system crashes. And aside from these annoying issues, there’s also one that’s even more infuriating – pop-up ads. That’s right. Much like adware, this browser hijacker will bombard you with a never-ending waterfall of pop-up advertisements, which will appear every time you try to browse the web. And speaking of browsing the web, all of your browsing activities will be monitored, cataloged and then the collected data will be sent to the third parties behind the tool. Once they have it, they can use it however they see fit, and there’s nothing you can do about it. Are you willing to hand your personal and financial information to unknown wicked people? All of your credit card details, bank account/s, user names, passwords, your name and phone number, everything? Don’t gamble with your safety! Delete rapsio.com as soon as you find out it has corrupted your system.
