Suddenly Search.mycurrentnewsxp.com took over your homepage and you cannot remove it.
Search.mycurrentnewsxp.com is a browser hijacker. If you ever get stuck with it, do whatever you have to and remove it as soon as the possibility presents itself. Otherwise, you’d severely regret it because to allow the hijacker to remain on your computer is to set yourself up for a bad time. But before we get into the consequences of its presence on your PC, you need to understand something. The Search.mycurrentnewsxp.com site is merely a website. It’s what’s hiding behind it that’s your issue. The page is a front for a malicious application that snuck into your system undetected and is using it as a ‘face’. That malware is your threat. The page is merely a means to an end. Remove the tool, you’ll remove all the repercussions of its stay. The first one you’ll encounter, which will reveal the existence of a hijacker, will come in the form of an unrequested reshuffle. One day, as you open your browser, you’ll see that your default search engine and homepage have been replaced by, yes, you’ve guessed it, Search.mycurrentnewsxp.com. You didn’t approve it, and it took you by utter surprise. And, you better get used to that feeling of shock and dismay as you’ll experience it quite often if you choose to allow the hijacker to stay on your system. Here’s some advice: don’t do that! Don’t set yourself up for a bad, horrendous, awful time! Do what’s best for you and your computer, and get rid of the infection as soon as you become aware of it. That way, you’ll avoid dealing with the whirlpool of issues the hijacker will inevitably force upon you. Once you see Search.mycurrentnewsxp.com take over, find where the malware it’s hiding, is lurking, and when you do, delete it! The sooner, the better.
How did I get infected with?
How do you think you got stuck with a hijacker? After all, it cannot magically appear one day out of the blue, even though, it may seem like it. But no. That’s not the case. Such infections have to be invited in, which means that they ask for your approval before they install themselves on your computer. And, since you’re in your current predicament, there’s only one logical conclusion to be made. The malware asked for your permission, and you gave it. But how? Honestly, it’s rather straightforward. You were careless when you should have been extra cautious. Infections like the one lurking behind Search.mycurrentnewsxp.com rely on your carelessness. They dupe you into allowing them in by preying on your distraction, gullibility, and haste. More often than not, they use the old but gold means of invasion. That involves hiding behind spam email attachments, corrupted sites or links, or freeware. However, their favorite method of infiltration is through masking themselves as bogus updates. For example, you may be utterly convinced you’re installing a Java or an Adobe Flash Player update, but you’d be wrong. In reality, you’d be giving the green light to a hijacker. Unless you want that to happen, don’t give into carelessness. It won’t lead to anything good. If anything, it will only cause you headaches and grievances. So, be more careful and don’t rush! Remember that even a little extra attention goes a long, long way.
Why is this dangerous?
Your daily browsing will begin as usual, a day like all other. Unfortunately, you’ll quickly discover it’s not. Yes, it may sound slightly, if not highly, exaggerated, but it’s to make a point. And, that point is that a hijacker changes your daily routine. It doesn’t take long before it turns into the bane of your online experience. From a website you’ve never heard of before, or seen, Search.mycurrentnewsxp.com will become your new best friend. It will be your constant companion as you’ll see it every single time you try to go online. But these continuous redirects won’t be the only nuisance you’ll be forced to put up with, courtesy of the malware, residing on your system. You’ll also be compelled to endure an endless bombardment of pop-up advertisements. So, every time you try to browse the web, you’ll be interrupted by both redirects to Search.mycurrentnewsxp.com, as well as waterfalls of ads. Yes, the hijacker will throw you into a pool of unpleasantness. But this is still the shallow end. These are the minor inconveniences you’ll have to bear. What awaits out there, in the deep end, is far worse. Apart from meddling and highly obnoxious, the ads are also immensely unreliable. They’re bundled with various malevolent tools, which are just waiting to pounce on your system. And, do you know what? You’re the one to let them. How? Well, every time you make the foolish mistake to press one of the hijacker’s pop-ups, you give your consent to the installation of the malware it’s hiding. So, don’t click on even one ad, unless you wish to overrun your computer with malicious applications. But, as severe as it undoubtedly is, even the malware threat isn’t you biggest worry. The most unfortunate part, of having a hijacker on your PC, is the security risk it places upon you. It spies on you, steals data from you, and then sends that data to the unknown third parties that published it. Strangers will be granted access to your personal and financial information. The question is, are you going to allow that to happen? It’s up to you to decide but know this. Experts advise towards the immediate deletion of the hijacker. As soon as it first throws Search.mycurrentnewsxp.com your way, find its hiding spot and delete it. You can be sure you won’t regret it.
