In your search results you will find some questionable links and you should not click on them because you will be redirected to fishy websites that may infect your computer. Moreover, it will collect your personal information, such as passwords, credit card details, banks account numbers. This information later on can be sold to various hackers and scammer, so keeping passwords, credit card details, banks account numbers on your computer puts you into actual risk of losing money or some files that are important to you. This browser hijacker can also work as a bridge to your computer for other malicious applications.

That’s a pretty ugly application, huh? Now you are probably wondering how you can get infected with it. First off all, avoid suspicious looking websites. If you browse some websites with adult content you can get infected on clicking on some unreliable link. Also, do not download software from websites with questionable reputation. Usually it is some PDF generator or media player that can get your computer infected. If you really need so particular program and you can get it only from a website that looks not very trustworthy then do it, but pay attention to the installation process of that program. This adware travels bundled with various freebies and you can install it alongside if you do this recklessly. To avoid installing anything unwanted, you should not skip any steps of the installation.

It would be a great idea to opt out for a custom or advanced install mode as well, because then you will be able to see much more options, you will have control in your hands. And if you have enough time, read terms and conditions, you can find some useful information there. Look for various checkboxes that can be already checked for you and that approves installation of additional software. Sometimes they can be displayed in a very small font, so you need to look closely on every step. If you notice that some additional software that you are not aware of is being installed alongside, you should not allow it, as this can possibly be Websearch.searchandfly.info or any other malware.
