What is Eprianerphy?

Eprianerphy is a special application that typically promotes certain search engine tools, homepage domains, and toolbars to the users by automatically making them part of the user’s browser. There are several ways in which you may end up with a browser hijacker like Eprianerphy or iStart Search Bar on your system but the most common method is the so-called software bundling. This is a method that allows additional components to be included in a given software setup (mostly a free installation package) and to be installed by default if the Advanced or Custom settings are not manually selected and customized by the users. Due to its ability to alter the browser settings, the application falls under the browser hijacker category and is considered as an annoying source of potentially unwanted browser modifications, ads, pop-ups, and sponsored page-redirects.

Eprianerphy Pop-ups

Eprianerphy is a browser hijacker which – a type of apps that is not among the most malicious types of software that you may encounter. However, there are a few good reasons to consider its uninstallation. For one, its typical behavior is related to aggressive methods of online advertising such as pay-per-click and sponsored ads positioning. That’s why, for the time it operates on the computer, Eprianerphy is very likely to disturb your web browsing with constantly popping-up ads, banners and automatic page-redirects to certain promotional websites and offers. Secondly, the hijacker may eat up a fair share of your system’s resources with background activities such as traffic data collection and generation of targeted ads.

As a result, you may frequently start to experience browser unresponsiveness, general system sluggishness, freezing of the screen and regular browsing interruptions. What is more, such software may force you to use some pre-set homepage domains and sponsored search engines or toolbars by replacing your default preferences without asking for your agreement. All in all, instead of offering any useful feature, Eprianerphy is more likely to lead the web users to random links, ads, and third-party web pages linked to pay-per-click remuneration models. It is also possible that the hijacker may mislead users into downloading and installing some sponsored products or services, as well as questionable content, which could be used as a potential carrier of viruses and malware from the ranks of Trojans, Spyware or Ransomware. That’s why, despite not representing a fatal system infection, we usually advise our readers to remove the hijacker from their system in order to avoid browsing disturbances and potential exposure to insecure web locations.

Once granted, these notifications can bombard users with unwanted advertisements and redirect them to potentially harmful websites.
