About Houmpage.com virus

Houmpage.com page looks pretty much like most of the search providers. However, if you make a search on it, you will see that you cannot really trust it.

It is clear that Houmpage.com virus seeks to improve their traffic and it gets paid for that.

Beware that not only you will not be able to get reliable search results, but also you can easily click on a malicious link and end up visiting dangerous website. If that happens, you can get your system infected with malware or other dangerous threats. This is one more reason to remove Houmpage.com virus as soon as you notice it on your browsers.

Distribution Methods of Houmpage.com virus

Houmpage.com virus usually takes over your browsers when you download some free programs from the Internet. It can happens if you don’t pay much attention to the installation steps of new applications and go through the installation steps without reading what every step says. If you were more careful, you would probably avoid this change quite easily. Any attempts to replace your homepage are usually disclosed at one of the installation steps. However, they often come as a preselected option.

Make sure you always go for a Custom installation mode and check every step before clicking ‘Next’, ‘Agree’ or ‘Accept’ buttons. Make sure you deselect options indicating about downloads that you are not aware of. Don’t agree changing your homepage or search provider to unknown pages either.
