Also, you might experience new tabs opening, a change in your home page, findings from a search engine you never heard of, or even a redirect to an NSFW website. When a malicious program displays advertisements it will either display them in pop-up windows, directly on a web page you are visiting, or will appear as videos, banners, moving ads, or like folded down the page in the top right corner of the web site. These ads will overlay the content on the page and when you click on a link, it will just open a pop-up to another advertisement. The above images are examples of unwanted advertisements within the browser that are usually caused by adware installed on your computer.
Adware is unwanted software designed to throw advertisements up on your screen, most often within a web browser.In most cases, the browser hijacker will change your browser search provider to generate advertising revenue by using Yahoo Search, Bing Search, or Google Search for its search results. Browser hijackers are not something new and malware developers have been using this technique for years to generate traffic to their sites, gather search terms, and redirect users to websites from where they’ll receive a commission or some sort of revenue.
