Suddenly SecureArticle.com took over your homepage and you cannot remove it.
SecureArticle.com is a browser hijacker. Technically, that’s just the page that pops up every time you try to go online, and the real threat you should worry about is the tool that’s behind it. It’s malicious and intrusive, not to mention, harmful. It will start to force the site upon you incessantly shortly after it slithers its way into your system. The tool gets you to approve its installation by slyness and finesse, and once it’s in, it forgets all about “finesse”. It makes its presence known by replacing your preferred homepage and search engine with SecureArticle.com. That’s when the never-ending redirects will commence. But they’ll seem like a walk in the park, compared to all of the other problems the hijacker throws your way. If you decide to permit it to remain on your computer, instead of deleting it the first chance you get, you’ll regret it as you’re only setting yourself up for a bad time. It will subject you to a never-ending bombardment of pop-up ads, cause frequent system crashes, slow down your PC’s performance, present you with a malware threat, and jeopardize your privacy. Do you think such a useless, hazardous infection is worth even half the troubles it causes? Hardly. Do what’s best for you and your system, and remove it at the first opportune moment. Your future self will thank you for it.
How did I get infected with?
The tool behind SecureArticle.com is a master in the arts of deceit. It’s so sly in its deception that it not only manages to get you to approve its install but also keeps you oblivious that you did. That’s the level of skill it possesses. To sneak in undetected, the tool relies on the old but gold means of infiltration. More often than not, it chooses to use freeware as a shield to hide behind as it provides possibly the easiest access point. That’s because most users tend to rush through its installation and don’t pay nearly as enough attention as they should. Instead of carefully familiarizing themselves with the terms and conditions, they just agree to all of them and hope for the best. That’s a horrendous decision with horrible consequences. If you wish to prevent a hijacker such as this one to slither into your system and wreak havoc, don’t rush and be more careful. Don’t give into naivety and distraction as they almost always lead to unpleasantries and grief. Try to remember that a little extra attention can go a long, long way and save you a lot of troubles and headaches.
Why is this dangerous?
The popping up of the SecureArticle.com page is a clear indication that there’s something wrong with your computer. Or, rather, there’s something on your computer, which shouldn’t be there. A malevolent tool manages to sneak into your system undetected, and with the appearance of the site, it’s revealing its presence to you. As soon as it does, find it and delete it! That way you’ll spare yourself a ton of issues. The more you postpone removing it, the bigger the pile of problems will get. Sure, the continuous redirects are obnoxious, but they’re just the start of an endless string of troubles. After the tool gets your permission for its install, it’s not bound to ask for it on anything else. Let that sink in for a while. It means that the hijacker is free to implement any and all changes it so wishes without bothering to ask for your permission prior to making them. It doesn’t even have to inform you. It can just spring them on you as a surprise. And, imagine your surprise when you turn on your computer one day, and fin it brimming with malware. Oh, yes. If the hijacker feels like it, it can install as many malevolent tools as it wants, and you’ll just have to deal with it. At the very least, it can reshuffle your settings in a way that will block you from visiting your favorite websites, which is also quite annoying. And, then there are the endless waterfalls of pop-up ads it will flood you with. The bombardment begins shortly after infection and doesn’t end until you get rid of the hijacker altogether. The more you allow it to go on, the worse it’s going to get. You’ll start to experience frequent system crashes, and your computer’s performance will slow down, but you’ll also be presented with a severe malware threat. That’s because the ads, you’ll be continuously exposed to, are immensely unreliable. A single click on a single one results in you unwillingly agreeing to install more malevolent tools on your PC. But even the malware threat seems like a non-issue, compared to the severe security risk the hijacker places upon you. It spies on you, collects data from you, and when it feels it has enough, it sends it to the third parties that support it. Are you willing to grant access to your personal and financial information to strangers, who can then use it as they see fit? Don’t take such a tremendous, unnecessary risk! As soon as you see SecureArticle.com for the first time, find the malevolent tool that’s behind it, and delete it! You won’t regret it.
