Some hijackers also alter the default search engine. These kinds of infections aim to redirect users to sponsored websites or collect certain information. Because some are able to redirect to malicious sites, they are not recommended to keep as you could be led to a serious infection. They are pretty useless and don’t provide anything you wouldn’t find in trustworthy extensions, so delete Ewoss.com and all other similar threats. And if you are wondering how it managed to install, you allowed it yourself. Albeit unknowingly, when you were installing a program. It must have had the threat attached to it, and you did not notice. This is a pretty common occurrence but easily avoidable, and you can find out how in the following paragraph.

How does it spread?

Browser hijackers are usually added to freeware as extra offers, and to prevent them from installing, users need to deselect them. It’s not difficult to do but because a lot of users are inattentive when they install programs, they end up installing them. When you are settings up programs, always read the information provided, follow the process carefully, and opt for Advanced or Custom settings. Those settings, unlike Default, will make the extra offers visible, which allows you to deselect them. After you have unchecked all the boxes in those settings, you can continue installing the program. Unless you want to be wasting time dealing with unwanted programs, make sure you initially prevent their installations.

Why uninstall Ewoss.com?

You will know as soon as the hijacker is installed. It will make changes to your browser, set its promoted website as your homepage/new tabs, and possibly alter your default search engine. These changes could affect all popular browser you have installed, including Internet Explorer, Google Chrome and Mozilla Firefox, and would be irreversible unless you first got rid of the infection. It is not high-level so it should not do anything else by itself but because you might start getting redirected, you should take care of it as soon as possible. Your new homepage will be very simple, it will only have a search box and nothing else. If you try to search for something, you will not get any results, which essentially makes it a useless search engine. It may still be under development so if you keep it, it might start to work some time later, and try to redirect you to sponsored websites. Some of which could even be malicious. If you are a security cautious user, you might notice that the site lacks two essential things, the Terms of Use and the Privacy Policy. Those forms are essential and should be the first thing you read on a website. If they are absent, you have no way of knowing if information about you is collected, if so, what kind, how it’s stored and whether it’s shared with someone. And since this is a hijacker, it probably is tracking you, gathering data. There is no reason why you should keep it. So proceed with its elimination.

Ewoss.com removal
