If you have never heard of browser hijackers before, it is a category of malware that targets various web browsers (usually the most popular ones – Google Chrome, Mozilla Firefox, Microsoft Edge and so on) and automatically changes settings like the homepage or new tab page. They intend to drive traffic to specific websites and earn money this way.

Secondly, it changes personal settings and makes web browsing experience much worse. Lastly, it can cause cyber security damage and might be difficult to get rid off.

In case you are struggling to get rid of this infection, we are here to help you – continue reading the article and learn how to remove Cassiopesa.com from a computer and web browser effectively.

Why Cassiopesa.com Is a Virus

Cassiopesa.com virus is identical to previously released Astromenda Search and Taplika. Once inside, it replaces your homepage with Cassiopesa.com and forces you to use it as your main search provider. You will not be able to use any other search providers. The worst thing is that Cassiopesa.com is not able to provide reliable search results. It mainly displays sponsored websites in your search results, which often don’t even correspond to your search query.

Even though promoted as a faster and more convenient solution to the web browsing, Cassiopesa will not bring any benefits to you. Since it will be set as your homepage and default search engine, you will be simply forced to use it as your go-to search provider. Actually, this brings a lot of difficulties.

First of all, the results displayed by Cassiopesa.com might be not even relevant to your search queries – they simply promote affiliated websites. Eventually, you will waste your time. Also, all search queries will be collected, so you risk of losing your private data. Information about you and your search queries might be transferred to third parties.

Some of the websites that this hijacker promotes may be unsafe to visit. You can easily end up visiting websites where you might be scammed or download potentially unwanted programs or even get infections.

This is another strong reason to stay away from Cassiopesa.com virus and remove it from your browsers as soon as you detect it. Make sure you remove it from all browsers that were affected to be sure it will not reappear after a while. Cassiopesa.com virus attacks Internet Explorer, Mozilla Firefox, Google Chrome, Safari and some other less popular browsers.

How Cassiopesa.com Infected Your Computer

To avoid that, you should pay more attention when installing any new programs on your computer, even when you are downloading from well-known download websites, like Softonic, Download.com and so on.

It is also very important to follow the installation steps every time you are installing something new and check what you are agreeing on before clicking “Next”, “Agree” or “Accept” buttons. Never allow changing your homepage to any unknown websites. Do not install any additional programs if they are not known for you either.
