About Search.follysway.com virus

Search.follysway.com virus is a topic that some people would rather avoid, like many other problems that are not crucial. Browser hijackers are like that: people can get adjusted to them even if it is unpleasant. We suggest you not to do this. Some people set their browsers’ settings so the home pages, default search providers and new tab pages would be linked to one special domain. Of course, these three positions can transfer users to different websites. Nevertheless, once a browser hijacker has struck, former selections are wiped out. Then, the central domain of the virus occupies the main positions. Furthermore, these parasites often contain external links that should not be voluntarily clicked on. If you do, there is a high risk of being brought to websites that some security researchers find inappropriate for visitation. URLs to edgy domains can be found in the results to search queries. However, automatic redirection can automatically transfer you without any warning signals. If you have no intention of being a victim to a browser hijacker, then remove Search.follysway.com virus as soon as possible. This product is not a top-notch searching network and it steals the searching mechanism from Yahoo.

This is not a surprising feature for browser hijackers to have: most of them collect information about the infected users and send it to third-party sources to exploit it for better online advertising strategies.
