2. A browser hijacker is a malicious computer
infection which has been created by cyber
criminals to take over such popular web browsers
as Internet Explorer, Mozilla Firefox and Google
Chrome. A browser hijacker can change the home
page and the search provider of your browsers so
that you would use a different search engine and
eventually boost traffic to certain websites. This
can help schemers generate profit.

3. Dosearches.com is a real search engine; however, it
is not a reliable one. It has been discovered that it
comes from the same group as portaldosites.com
and qvo6.com. These are browser hijackers as well.
Even though you can use these tools as authentic
search engines, the search results are provided by
Yahoo Search.

4. Your web browsers have been hijacked so that
schemers could:
Find information regarding your search history;
Boost traffic to unreliable, promotion-driven
websites;
Potentially expose security vulnerabilities.

can help schemers infiltrate malware, and there is

to drop the hijacker as well. In order to ensure that
you do not need to remove malware beware of
spam email attachments, social engineering
scams, unreliable software distribution
websites, fake software updates and similar
vulnerabilities.
