Hi.fo Description

As a browser hijacker, Bing.vc Redirect enters your system uninvited. 一度インストール, it alters your browser home page and settings without permission.
Although the search engine claims to be legitimate, malware experts classify it as rogue because it may sometimes display irrelevant search results in order to generate traffic to sponsoring websites. That makes Hi.fo unreliable.
Sometimes the search results Hi.fo displays may be malicious too. こうして, by clicking any of them, you risk exposing your system to serious threats which the search engine is not responsible for.

Hi.fo Distribution

Hi.fo could sneak into your system via free programs you download from the Web. Experts say that Hi.fo may also enter your system via junk emails and malicious websites you open.
When you are downloading free programs from the Web, keep in mind that they are often bundled with various PUPs (望ましくない可能性のあるプログラム) and malicious programs. They will enter your system if you don’t uncheck the bundling option during the installation process. Make sure you also disable all settings and features you are not familiar with.

How Did Hi.fo Enter Your Computer?

Hi.fo infiltrates your system like most browser redirects do – via freeware. Freeware includes all programs, tools, add-ons out there that are available for a free download.

Since the creators of the free programs need to get paid after all, they insert various software components that enter your system while you think you are downloading only the free program. Such unwanted components then are capable of generating revenue for third parties via the Pay-Per-Click method. To avoid letting unwanted programs enter you computer, be extra cautious during the installation process of the freeware. Uncheck all previously selected boxes such as “recommended settings”, 例えば. Choose only the “custom” option and that is how you’ll not end up with various unwanted pieces of software, some of which may be malicious too.

• It may start displaying multiple pop-up advertisements that you cannot close as they keep showing up.

What’s worse, しかしながら, is that Hi.fo is not HTTPs encrypted while all trustworthy search engines are. A non-encrypted connection is vulnerable against attacks and malicious components can easily gain access to your system via such search engine.

結果として, hackers and advertisers can watch your online behavior, collect your data, steal your sensitive information, hack your system, 等.
