What is browser hijacking?

It is a type of online fraud. Scammers use malicious software to take control of your computer's Internet browser and change how and what it displays when you're surfing the web.

  • A seemingly endless barrage of ads pops up on your screen.
  • New toolbars or Favorites are installed that give you icons and links to web pages that you don't want.
  • Your computer runs sluggishly. Malicious software can slow down your computer.
How to fix

1. Reset your browser with default setting.
2. Uninstall unknown programs from add remove programs.
3.Run disk clean up.
4.Remove tool bars.
5.Disable unwanted add-ons
6.Clean affected registry.

I hope this will work...
