Protection-phone1.site

Protection-phone1.site is what is more widely known as a browser hijacker. And Protection-phone1.site particularly targets the browsers on Apple iOS devices (i.e. iPhones, iPads and iPods).

Hence, once it is installed on your device, Protection-phone1.site will integrate with the Chrome, Safari or whatever other browser you’re using. And as soon as this takes place, you will notice a substantial increase in the number of online ads that you come across during browsing sessions. For example, you might start seeing large screen-wide banners plastering the display or popups that cover the website you’re trying to navigate, etc.

In addition, your browser may start to behave oddly and cause spontaneous page redirects to various web locations that will typically be trying to sell you something. Last but not least, Protection-phone1.site may also make changes to the browser’s interface. So, it’s very common for users to notice that their browser homepage has been replaced with a new URL, and/or that there’s now a new default search engine as well.

What can be rather infuriating about all of this is that there’s no obvious solution to reinstating the old browser settings and configurations. And that is because the developers of hijackers like Protection-phone1.site are vested in that their applications remain on the infected devices for as long as possible. These programs are actually designed to generate revenue for their creators through the display of paid ads such as the one we mentioned earlier.

And if you try to reset your browser on your own, you will find that the settings return back automatically. This may, in turn, prompt you to believe that you’ve been infected by some Trojan or ransomware virus, but that’s not the case. And in order to get rid of all the ads and irritating changes, you simply need to remove Protection-phone1.site.
