Prevent Browser Hijacking

 

Webpage hijacking is usually caused by malware. Short for malicious software, malware is designed to disrupt a system, and can be delivered through either a virus or a Trojan.

To prevent homepage hijacking, we recommend you use care when doing the internet activities listed below. Download files from only "known-safe" websites when possible, and ensure the StopSign On Access scanner is enabled. We also suggest you try using the Mozilla Firefox Internet Browser.

The most common ways you get malware from the internet are:

1) Open Internet Explorer.

2) Navigate to the website you want for your homepage.

3) Click TOOLS > INTERNET OPTIONS.

4) On the GENERAL tab, in the HOME PAGE section, click USE CURRENT.
