Luckyguys.xyz

Luckyguys.xyz is one of the Browser Hijackers which are taking over the users’ browsing apps and filling their monitors with sponsored advertisements. Luckyguys.xyz will make unwanted changes to your browser like changing your home page, redirecting your searches and displaying pop up ads and messages.

Most people who end up with an application like Luckyguys.xyz on their system initially think that they must have been infected with some virus or malware, such as a Trojan Horse or a Ransomware. The reason is, their browser suddenly starts to behave strangely and usually introduces some unauthorized changes to the homepage or the main search engine without their approval. In addition to that, the hijacked browser starts to spam the screen with hundreds of ads, pop-ups, and banners, and initiates page-redirects to different sponsored pages. These activities, understandably, can be very annoying. However, we need to say that they do not pose a direct threat to the users and their computers as they are not initiated by a computer virus. The software which stays behind the browser changes and the ads that spam your screen are nothing more than simple online advertising tools, which, in the cyber circles, are known as Browser Hijackers.

The Luckyguys Malware

Luckyguys is a piece of software that can modify the settings of a web browser without the user’s approval. Most people believe that Luckyguys is a virus or malware because it can replace the default search engine or the homepage without a warning and redirect the web searches to pages full of aggressive ads.

To uninstall a Browser Hijacker and remove the sponsored components it has installed on your browser is not as challenging as, for example, dealing with a Ransomware infection. However, you still need to use some guidance or a professional removal tool to safely uninstall the unwanted program, and all the applications, extensions or add-ons, which may be related to it. Only after that would you be able to restore the web browser’s settings to their default parameters and enjoy your browsing as you had before.

If you let Luckyguys.xyz operate on your system, you may constantly get exposed to various types of pop-up ads, banners, promotional links and messages that redirect you to various web locations. The sites to which those ads may link may seem to be totally legitimate. Many of them may have a lot of traffic and great deals. You may also come across offers that may prompt you to download some free features, coupon codes, and other attractive offers. However, you should not take everything that programs like Luckyguys.xyz, Www1.ecleneue.com and  Mail.ru generate on your screen as reliable and you should use your common sense when clicking on those pop-up offers, colorful boxes, and links. After all, you never know where these ads may redirect you to and there are plenty of unsafe web locations where you may land on if you are not careful. That’s why it is best to avoid interacting with content that can’t be verified as safe, especially if it gets generated by some random program that has placed changes in your browser settings, and which has established a way to redirect you to pre-defined sites or to modify your search results.

Precautions to avoid Browser Hijackers in the future:

• Avoid installing free programs of doubtful origin.
• When installing programs, pay special attention during the setup process and check all the features, additional components, and optional clauses that may be included in the package.
• If possible, choose the “Custom” or “Advanced” option during installation to have full control over the programs that are getting installed and uncheck any boxes that ask for permissions to modify the browser settings.
