These kinds of threats are why it is important that you are attentive when you install applications. This is not a serious threat but because of its unnecessary behavior, you will want to get rid of it as soon as possible. example, you will see changed browser's settings, and you new tabs and home web page will be set to load an entirely different web page. You'll also have a different search engine and it might inject sponsored content into results. This is done so that the hijacker could redirect you to sponsored web pages, and the owners of those sites could make profit from traffic and ads. It should be noted that if a reroute to a dangerous web page occurs, you can easily get a serious infection. And a malicious program infection would be more serious. Hijackers like to pretend they have beneficial features but you could find proper extensions doing the same thing, which won't bring about weird redirects.

That info might also fall into suspicious third-party hands. Thus, delete Aiboo.cc, before it can do any harm.
