Mono6.biz is a browser hijacker that will make unneeded modifications to your browser without authorization. Hijackers sometimes arrive along with free programs, and can install without the user actually noticing. If you wish to avoid these kinds of irritating infections, be cautious about what kind of applications you install. This is not a serious infection but because of its unnecessary activity, you will want it gone as soon as possible. You will find that instead of the website that is set as your home web page and new tabs, your browser will now load the hijacker's promoted page. Your search engine will also be altered, and it might inject sponsored content among the legitimate results. The redirects are executed so that the web page owners can make money from traffic and advertisements. Some people end up with malicious software via these kinds of redirects because some hijackers are able to reroute to malware-ridden pages. If you got malware, the situation would be much worse. You may think redirect viruses are handy add-ons but the features that they offer could be found in trustworthy extensions, ones that won't pose a threat to your system. More personalized content will also start appearing, and if you are wondering why, the redirect virus is following your browsing and gathering information about you. Questionable third-parties might also be capable of accessing that data. Therefore, erase Mono6.biz, before it could do any damage.
