About Youhomepage.org browser hijacker

As we have mentioned above, Youhomepage.org is classified as browser hijacker, so once installed on a computer it will change some settings on web browsers, such as homepage or default search engine. That means every time you open a web browser, www.youhomepage.org will appear.

A lot of users get tricked and think that this website is just a common search engine that could replace Google, Yahoo or any other legitimate search engine that they have used before. However, it is not true and you should not use it.

First of all, if you use Youhomepage.org for searches, a lot of sponsored results will be displayed. And those results tend to be not even relevant to your search queries. That means you will waste your time this way. Moreover, malicious websites might hide under those links. So we do not recommend to click on any of them.

If it happens so that you click on the sponsored link displayed by Youhomepage.org you will be redirected to other websites that might be owned by various cyber criminals, such as hackers or scammers. This way your computer can get infected with other viruses. Attempting to purchase something there might result in a scam and loss of the money.

Youhomepage.org also has some attributes of an adware. It will flood your web browsers with ads in all kinds of forms, such as pop-up, pop-under, in-text, banner or contextual advertisements. New tab or even window with ads on it can be opened at any time as well. Usually advertisements displayed by Youhomepage.org appear on ecommerce websites, such as eBay or Amazon. You might be offered to purchase some particular goods at very appealing price rate. Do not fall for that trick – most of the times those offers are fake. Scammers are just trying to win your attention and make you click on one of those ads this way. They earn money for every click you make, so that’s their prime goal.
