Ads created by Browser Hijacker are not the same as other Ads – say those you see while you search on Google. Reputable sites and software companies almost never advertise through Browser Hijacker, but shadier businesses do.

Bloatware is very commonly advertised in this way.

The problem is that bloatware applications rarely even work, but rely on fraudulent advertising campaign.

These programs rely on huge number of false positives to make you believe your computer is in a dire situation and you need to spend money NOW before anything horrible happens. If you suspect that your PC might indeed have a problem try researching for a bit before downloading any software to ensure that the problem is real and not made up.
