Lpxsx.xyz – browser hijacker

Lpxsx.xyz is a fake search engine. It looks like one and it even returns search results, but it lacks any useful features and its results are taken from another, legitimate search engine. Lpxsx.xyz is just a search hijacker. It can log your search queries and manipulate the search results, that’s about it.

Lpxsx.xyz is made by QxSearch, the same company that made Biosc.xyz, Mxss.xyz, Nvo1d.xyz, and a bunch of other hijackers. These sites all do the same thing: hijack searches.

The way this happens is thanks to some malicious browser extensions. Browser extensions like Tail Search, Tinysearch, Surfing Pro, Genie Pro, Power App, and others. Here’s what they do what installed:

• read your data on Google.com, Bing.com, Yahoo.com, and Lpxsx.xyz,
• read your browsing history,
• change your search settings (in some cases).

It may not seem like a lot, but this does allow these browser extensions to manipulate your internet search results by injecting ads into them. The ads may include links to malicious, spammy, and otherwise unhelpful websites.

Seeing Lpxsx.xyz redirects in your browser, having to deal with more ads in your search results, and having your internet activities spied on are all things that you should not have to deal with. Luckily, you can remove the infection from your browser.

How to stop Lpxsx.xyz redirects

To get rid of excessive ads and Lpxsx.xyz redirects, review all of your installed browser extensions and remove or disable the ones that:

• change your search settings,
• can read and change your data on Google.com.

To see how your browser behaves without extensions installed, try opening a private window. In your browser, open the main menu (usually it’s the button in the top right corner) and find the private window option. Alternatively, press Ctrl+Shift+New on Windows or Cmd+Shift+New on macOS. By default, no browser extensions are allowed to work on this window. It helps you check what effect your browser extensions have on your browser.

Keep disabling or removing your browser extensions until all the Lpxsx.xyz redirects disappear and the excessive ads go away.

It might be easier to scan your computer with an anti-malware app, like Combo Cleaner for macOS, Spyhunter for Windows, and others. They can recognize potentially unwanted programs, toolbars, browser hijackers, and other not-quite-malware. If the Lpxsx.xyz hijacker came with any other infections, a scanner would help you find out.

How Lpxsx.xyz got access to your browser

Lpxsx.xyz redirects spread to computers with the help of deceptive ads. Malicious extensions use fake download buttons and aggressive pop-up ads to trick people into installing them. For example, the Flash SD App required scam. It doesn’t even tell you that it installs a browser extension, nor what extension that is.

Ads like “Recommended Extension” and “Flash SD App required” are meant to trick people into thinking that they have to install the browser extension. These ads should always be ignored. Never agree to download or install something that you don’t know.

Speaking of, another way that search hijackers and other bad browser extensions spread is through infected downloads. Apps and programs that are bundled with junkware. These programs get installed like normal, but they also install a few additional items on your computer. Bundlers cause a lot of problems, such as spreading adware and malware.

To avoid any more Lpxsx.xyz, Searchdimension.com, Tailsearch.com, and other infections, you can take a few steps to protect yourself:

• use an anti-malware program with web security features to block malicious sites,
• alternatively, use an ad-blocker,
• skim the privacy policy, terms of use, and info on the developer before installing a program,
• learn to evaluate the security of a browser extension before installing it.

Most importantly, if you suspect something is wrong with your browser, check it for malware. Don’t give any of your extensions a free pass, but examine each and every one of them. And remember to use a good-quality antivirus program to avoid infections.
