Wajm.icu Malware - How to remove

Wajm.icu may hijack your search and you will receive absolutely irrelevant search results that will not correspond with your queries. According to the analysis, we have performed, wajm.icu redirections only take place with the Mozilla Firefox browser. The hijacker is also referred to as Searchgg Custom Search. Wajm.icu redirections look pretty much the same as chissk.icu problem in Mozilla Firefox, of which we previously wrote. The domain name through which redirection occurs typically gets changed from time to time. Continue reading this guide and you will find out more detailed information on how to fix your Mozilla Firefox browser and get back your web surfing to fully functional mode.

Wajm.icu so-called search results will first display a lot of sponsored links and advertisement banners that may lead to a variety of websites. Some of these sites could be relatively safe, whereas there may be thousands of domains to which you may be brought by wajm.icu that represent essential danger. Just as an example, you could easily end up encountering the landing pages of rogue security applications, potentially unwanted programs, other browser hijackers, etc.

How does wajm.icu inject itself into the browser

Wajm.icu is spread by means of fake alerts in Mozilla Firefox. These alerts are capable of hijacking your browser by means of switching it into full-screen mode. The pop-up will tell you about the need to perform some security updates and will keep suggesting you click on the appropriate installation button that is integrated into the pop-up window. Users may be struggling in an attempt to shut down such pop-up windows, however, each time the very same pop-up would appear and divert the browser into full screen. Finally, after users mistakenly implement such a fake update or installation, the special add-on is installed which then causes wajm.icu search redirections.

As a result of the installation of the unwanted add-on, wajm.icu hijacks default search engine settings. When you start looking for some information on the web you open your Google Search page and submit some search queries. However, you will notice that the results will not be delivered by Google anymore. You will see Searchgg Custom Search and wajm.icu page instead, full of absolutely irrelevant links.

The danger of wajm.icu hijacker

It is definitely not secure to tolerate wajm.icu when you encounter it in Mozilla Firefox. The hijacker not only fails to provide you with decent search results. Additionally, it is involved in regularly spying over your Internet surfing. All the search queries that you submit in your hijacked browser will be collected and transferred to third parties who stand behind wajm.icu. This sensitive and confidential data may be easily manipulated for absolutely illegal purposes. It is not safe to provide any of your financial information either.

Redirections by wajm.icu hijacker may lead you to malicious websites engaged in the promotion of PUPs (potentially unwanted programs). You might see some strange alerts instructing you to implement fake software updates. These alerts will be obviously misleading and if you implement them your system will be burdened with a lot of useless programs that consume a lot of system resources.

How to delete wajm.icu hijacker

Basically, the key to the full elimination of wajm.icu hijacker from Mozilla Firefox is to disable the add-on responsible for the functionality of wajm.icu. You may access the browser preferences (settings), proceed to add-ons and then find out suspicious extensions that might cause above-said redirection issues.
