Jaamla.com virus is a browser hijacker that can affect Internet Explorer, Mozilla Firefox and Google Chrome browsers. Although it looks like a genuine search engine and it provides several services, including search of images, videos and so on, unfortunately, it is related to the activities of third parties, so it shouldn’t be taken as a regular search provider.
Once inside, Jaamla.com virus changes your homepage and default search provider without asking for your permission. The website claims to be provided by Google, but when you make a search using it, you will see that it includes lots of sponsored links in your search results, so they can not be considered reliable. Moreover, it can include various ads when you browse the Internet or redirect you to commercial websites.
Those users who have found Jaamla.com virus on their browsers can blame only themselves for its infiltration. That is because this hijacker is added together with other free downloads. If you don’t follow the installation steps carefully, you may agree to change your homepage or search provider without even knowing that. That’s why it is recommended to go for Custom installation and follow every step carefully to know what exactly you are downloading. Reading Terms and Agreements is crucial as well.
