How did delta-homes.com redirect.com redirect infect your computer?

Thankfully browser hijackers generally lack the capability to attack security vulnerabilities. This means that they will instead target you – the user – and try to fool you into allowing it access. To do that the browser hijacker might pose as anything else really – the above mentioned free updates and apps are nothing else but browser hijacker. A couple of popular methods are:

  1. As extras to freeware programs – free programs cost nothing to the user, but still generate expenses for hosting. browser hijacker creators have found a great niche for themselves by offering money to free app creators. In exchange for that money the browser hijacker comes packed with the installer of the program. Thankfully browser hijacker bundled this way can usually be avoided – there is always an option in the installer to do just that. When installing software always go for the advanced installation and uncheck the boxes that allow the installation of extra utilities.
  2. Through fake download/torrent sites. There are hundreds of these circulating around the net, but they function in a similar way. They copy the data of your search bar and generate a file with the same name to juice out a perfect match. That file is of course a virus. Watch out for these by looking for the extension – regardless of the file name it will always end with .exe
