It will alter your browser’s settings, set a strange site as your home web page, new tabs and search engine, and it’ll do that even if you don’t agree with the alterations. Internet Explorer, Google Chrome and Mozilla Firefox will be among the browsers altered. The page will load every time your browser is opened, and this will go on until you erase Pushnotificationsite.com from your computer. The browser redirect will keep overruling the modifications back so don’t waste time attempting to alter anything. If your search engine is modified, every time you look for something through browser’s address bar or the provided search box, your results would be generated by that engine. It may be implanting weird hyperlinks into the results so that you’d end up on advertisement websites. Owners of certain web pages aim to boost traffic to make more profit, and redirect viruses are used to redirect you to them. With more visitors, it’s more likely that the ads will be interacted with, which makes profit. You’ll realize when you visit such web pages right away because they obviously will be unconnected to what you were initially looking for. Or they might seem real, for example, if you were to search for ‘anti-malware’, you could get results for sites advertising shady antivirus programs, but look entirely valid at first. Since redirect viruses don’t analyze websites for malicious programs you might be redirected to a web page that would launch a malware download onto your machine. You should also know that hijackers snoop on you so as to get data about what you click on, what websites you enter, your search queries and so on. The obtained data may be used to make more relevant ads, if unfamiliar parties gain access to it. Or the reroute virus may use it to create sponsored results that are more personalized.
