A browser hijackers, are software elements similar to a regular extension for Chrome, Safari or Firefox (or any other browser, really). What sets apart browser hijackers and normal browser extensions is how they behave in the browser. While a regular extension would typically provide you with some useful function and make your online experience better in one way or another, a hijacker would mainly seek to benefit its creator, oftentimes at the expense of the end user’s patience and nerves. What we mean by that is, if you have a hijacker in your browser, you are likely to notice all sorts of unwelcome changes made to the homepage of the browser, to its toolbar, to its search engine and so on. Automatic page-redirects are also likely to start appearing to further obstruct you. The whole goal of this is to advertise and promote something. Pgp Framework, Helpermcp, Bing Redirect, Helperamc for instance, are the pages you may see as your homepage or the logo you may see on your new search engine if the hijacker that we will be focusing on in this post has gotten in your computer.

The Pgp Framework malware is an unwanted junkware extension for Safari, Firefox, Chrome, and other commonly-used macOS browsers. The goal of Pgp Framework is to make modifications in your browser in order to inject ads and open new tabs in it without your authorization.

If you are frequently getting page-redirected to a page called Pgp Framework or there are ads on your screen that are delivered by Pgp Framework, then you are dealing with a hijacker in your browser and you need to remove it ASAP. The hijacker component itself isn’t exactly harmful as it is not a virus, a Trojan or some other malicious software piece such as a Ransomware. However, it is definitely not very safe to have some component inside of your browser that seems to operate and carry out different processes without your permission. Normally, a hijacker wouldn’t allow you to restore your previous browser settings or if it does, it would immediately re-impose its own custom settings again as soon as you close the browser or restart the computer. The only way to really make sure you are using a search engine that you like and trust and that your homepage and toolbar are the ones you’ve chosen for yourself is to ensure that the hijacker gets uninstalled.
