Supportlivecenter.com will alter your browser's settings which is why it is categorized as a hijacker. The threat was most likely added to a freeware as an additional item, and because you didn't unmark it, it installed. It is important that you are attentive when installing software because if you aren't, you will not be able to avoid these kinds of threats. While hijackers are not classified as harmful themselves, their activity is pretty dubious. Your browser's homepage and new tabs will be altered, and a strange website will load instead of your usual web page. What you'll also find is that your search is altered, and it might be injecting sponsored links into search results. The redirect virus is doing that because it aims to boost traffic for some web pages, and in turn, make income for owners. Do keep in mind that some of those reroutes may redirect a malware infection. The malware infection isn't something you want to deal with as it could bring about serious harm. In order for users to find them handy, redirect viruses pretend to have beneficial features but the reality is, you can easily replace them with legitimate plug-ins which would not redirect you. You won't necessarily see this but redirect viruses are following your browsing and gathering information so that more customized sponsored content could be created. Unrelated third-parties may also be capable of accessing that info. Thus, terminate Supportlivecenter.com, before it could affect your OS more severely.
