If your browser is showing you a lot of ads and is frequently getting you redirected to different sites without you wanting it, then you must have a hijacker on your computer. A browser hijacker is an unwanted app that closely resembles a browser extension but the main difference is that most hijackers don’t really benefit the user in any way and instead simply obstruct their browsing experience with different changes in the browser. Most hijacker apps tend to give the infected browser a new search engine that is usually of a lesser quality than the one which used to be the default search engine in the browser. The type of replacement could be done to the homepage and the new-tab page addresses – they may get replaced with some ad-oriented site that tries to sell something to the user. Chrome, Firefox, Edge, and Safari are the most commonly targeted browsers but this is because they are also the most widely-used ones. Other browsers could also get affected by a hijacker in the same way so it doesn’t really matter what browser you prefer to use.

The instructions there and the linked removal tool that has been tested against such invasive apps should be more than enough to rid your system and browser of the invasive hijacker application.

In order to ensure that no more such undesirable apps are able to get in your computer, you must remind yourself to always keep a close eye on the installation menus for new programs – especially on their advanced setup menus. Many program installers have hijackers bundled with them and the place from where you can uncheck the unwanted bundled element is usually the advanced/custom setup menu.
