CityPage.today browser hijacker - How to remove

CityPage.today browser hijacker is a malicious website distributed by a browser add-on. To be fair, this website itself is not a virus – it is just a result of a malicious add-on which is operating on your computer. So how do you tell if your computer is infected with this browser hijacker? Well, that’s really easy – if www.cirtypage.today appears as a homepage on your web browser but you don’t remember setting it as your homepage, it is a clear sign that your computer is infected.

In this article we will provide you with detailed instructions how to deal with CityPage.today virus and protect your computer from similar infections in the future, so just proceed reading.

Features of CityPage.today virus

The appearance of this website is really similar to 12Mojotab.com viruse. We did a research and it seems like developers of those viruses are not affiliated with each other. However, those browser hijacker viruses share not only similar visuals, but technical solutions as well.

CityPage.today is based on a browser add-on or extension, which can be added to all most common web browsers – Internet Explorer and Microsoft Edge, Google Chrome and Mozilla Firefox. Usually those add-ons travel bundled with other software that can be downloaded from the Internet. When you install free application, you might get asked to add a free tool to your web browser that will enhance the way you browse the Internet. It’s enough to accept such offer and your computer will be infected with a browser hijacker malware.

Why it is called a browser hijacker? “A browser hijacker’s usual definition is any sort of potentially unwanted program that installs itself on your computer without you agreeing to the installation. After this step, the hijacker will modify your settings in order for the browser to do one or more of the following” – that’s because CityPage.today perfectly fits this description. Once malicious add-on is inside of your computer, it will automatically make some changes without even asking you about that. Your homepage, default search engine and new tab website will be set to be www.citypage.today.com. What’s even more disturbing, you won’t be able to change those settings until the virus itself is completely removed from your computer.

Various browser hijackers also adds toolbars to internet browsers. Developers of CityPage.today is Kds Media, based in Israel. However, the website itself is registered in France. They describe themselves as “KDS is a worldwide digital media agency, whose brand-safe premium programmatic platform provides cross-platform solutions for both publishers and advertisers across multiple channels in order to maximize their revenue on a global scale. Our company was established in 2014 by Kobi Dan after years of Experience in worldwide media agencies. Today, KDS media owns globally recognized Internet assets.”

Now you can imagine that the main reason of this website is to build audience using this deceptive method and make money for displaying sponsored content or making redirects. They serve as a middle man between advertisers and audiences. The problem is that such services usually are used by unreliable advertisers because they don’t have an option to advertise on reliable websites, such as Google Adwords or Facebook ads.

The search engine presented by this website is legitimate and you can trust it. However, we still do not recommend to use it because all your search queries are likely to be recorded. This way, if you fill in some of your private information, it can be leaked and end up on hands of cyber criminals.

The best part about browser hijackers is that it is relatively easy to get rid of them. All it takes is a scan with anti-malware application, such as Spyhunter and all files associated with this malware will be detected and removed from your computer.
