What is a hijacker

AutoIncognitoSearch will change your browser’s settings which is why it is categorized as a hijacker. The threat was possibly attached to a free application as an additional offer, and because you did not untick it, it installed. If you want to prevent these types of frustrating threats, be careful about what kind of programs you install. While browser hijackers aren’t harmful infections themselves, their actions are quite questionable. You’ll notice that instead of the normal homepage and new tabs, your browser will now load the hijacker’s promoted page. What you will also notice is that your search is different, and it might insert advertisement links among the legitimate results. If you click on such a result, you’ll be redirected to strange sites, whose owners are attempting to make money from traffic. You should also know that if a redirect to a dangerous web page occurs, you can easily get a severe infection. If you got your system contaminated with malware, the situation would be much more dire. Redirect viruses like to pretend they have beneficial features but they’re easily replaceable with reliable add-ons, which will not cause weird redirects. You will not always be aware this but hijackers are following your browsing and collecting information so that more customized sponsored content may be made. That data might also end up in dubious third-party hands. So we really recommend you delete AutoIncognitoSearch as quickly as possible.

What you need to know about these infections

It’s possible that you encountered the browser hijacker unintentionally, during free software installation. They’re obviously very invasive infections, so we doubt anyone would install them otherwise. If people were more attentive when they install applications, this method would not be as effective. You need to pay attention as offers tend to hide, and you not noticing them is like authorizing them to install. Choosing Default mode would be a mistake because they’ll not display anything. Deselecting those offers is essential, but they will only be visible in Advanced or Custom mode. It is suggested that you unmark all the items. All you have to do is uncheck the items that become visible, and you can then continue installing the freeware. Initially stopping the infections can save you a lot time because dealing with it later might be time-consuming and irritating. Review what sources you use to get your applications because by using untrustworthy sites, you are risking infecting your computer malware.

If a hijacker manages to install, we really doubt you would not see. Your home web page, new tabs and search engine would be set to a different site without your explicit permission, and that’s very hard to miss. All leading browsers will likely be affected, including Internet Explorer, Google Chrome and Mozilla Firefox. The site will greet you every time your browser is opened, and this will continue until you uninstall AutoIncognitoSearch from your operating system. The redirect virus will keep nullifying the alterations back so don’t waste time attempting to change anything. If your search engine is changed, every time you search for something through browser’s address bar or the provided search box, you’d get questionable results. Since the threat is aiming to redirect you, be careful of advertisement links in the results. Hijackers are occasionally employed by page owners to boost traffic and make more income, which is why redirects are occurring. Increased traffic helps pages as more people are likely to engage with the advertisements. Those pages are generally quite obvious because they evidently will be unconnected to search query. Some of the results could seem valid in the beginning but if you pay attention, you should be able to differentiate them. You should also take into account that browser hijackers are capable of rerouting to harmful pages, ones concealing malware. Furthermore, the hijacker could also be monitoring your Internet browsing and collecting certain type of data about you. More relevant ads may be made using the collected information, if it is shared with unknown parties. Or the hijacker could use it to create sponsored results that are more customized. Make sure you delete AutoIncognitoSearch before more severe infections come your way. And after you complete the process, you should go alter your browser’s settings back.

It is pretty annoying dealing with these types of infections, so it’s best if you block their installation in the future, so pay attention when installing software. If you want to have an uncluttered computer, you have to have good computer habits.Download Removal Toolto remove AutoIncognitoSearch
