First of all, there will be advertisements everywhere – even one the homepage. Secondly, search results on this so called ‘search engine’ are corrupted. Www-homepage.com hijacker uses Google custom search and that means they can modify search results how they want.

Clearly it can attack a lot of computer systems and start controlling browsing of their users. If you have noticed that Www-homepage.com was set as your homepage and search provider, your system was infected too. The program will interfere with every search you make and try to redirect you to the websites that this browser hijacker promotes. Www-homepage.com virus makers get paid for every click on the links of these pages.

Distribution Methods of Www-homepage.com virus

Most of the times, Www-homepage.com is set as your homepage after installing some freeware to your system. The hijacker comes bundled to various players, download managers, etc. To avoid such changes, you have to pay more attention to the installation steps of your new applications. Usually, replacing your homepage is an optional change and you can refuse it if you deselect this option at one of the installation steps. The problem about it is that users are not very attentive during the installation processes and they agree to make a lot of changes in their system or even add extra programs unintentionally.

Always follow the installation steps of your new downloads and make sure this doesn’t happen to you. Choose a Custom installation instead of a Basic one in order to see all optional downloads and be able to make some changes.
