If you’ve opened up your web browser only to find it immediately redirecting to an unusual webpage, you’ve been hi-jacked.

Actually web browser hi-jacking isn’t a new tactic by cyber criminals, however it does still post a risk and can be one of the more annoying issues to resolve as in some instances the hack isn’t always detected by internet security software.

If this does happen to you, you may simply be able to change your browser home page back to normal in your browser settings, but if it’s keeps defaulting back to the unwanted page you’ll need more help. You’ll find more information on dealing with a hi-jacked web browser on the following websites.
