You’ll also have a different search engine and it could insert advertisement content into results.

How does it behave

You likely encountered the hijacker unknowingly, when you were installing freeware. It is not probable that you acquired it in any other way, as no one would install them willingly. This method is effective because users are pretty negligent during program installations, instead, opting to rush and not read the given information. You need to pay attention because items are concealed, and by not noticing them, you’re basically giving them permission to install. Don’t select Default mode because they will not display anything. Instead, choose Advanced (Custom) settings as they’ll not only permit you to see what has been attached but also give a chance to deselect everything. Ensure you deselect all the items. And until you have done that, do not continue with the freeware installation. Dealing with these threats could be troublesome so you would do yourself a great favor by initially blocking them. In addition, be more careful about where you get your programs from as dubious sources could bring a lot of trouble.

It’s probable that it will alter all of the popular browsers, like Internet Explorer, Google Chrome and Mozilla Firefox. The web page will greet you every time your browser is opened, and this will go on until you uninstall Private-message.live from your system.

If the browser hijacker also sets a weird search engine for you, every time you look for something via browser’s address bar or the presented search box, you would see results generated by that engine. Do not go around clicking on all results as they’d lead to advertisement pages. These kinds of infections have a purpose of increasing traffic for certain sites so that more profit from advertisements is earned. With more users entering the page, it’s more likely that the owners will be able to make more profit as more people will be engaging with adverts. If you press on those sites, you will quickly see that they have nothing to do with what you were searching for. In certain cases, they might seem legitimate, so if you were to search ‘computer’, results with doubtful links may come up but you wouldn’t know in the beginning. You ought to also bear in mind that redirect viruses are capable of rerouting to malware hiding sites. In addition, the browser redirect may keep an eye on your browsing and collect certain kind of information about you.
