Yesterday I started having some problems on my computer. I keep getting strange pop ups and the browser was opening by itself. My homepage has always been Yahoo then suddenly it has been changed to Searchzillions.com. Everytime I go to google and search something and I click on the link it redirects me to different search engines. Also, I keep getting messages about my scrip running out and stuff like that. Mcafee didn’t detect anything, what should I do?
Searchzillions.com is another untrustworthy search site that may seem to be a regular search provider, but in fact it was developed to advertise various sponsored websites and this site is closely associated with adware, browser hijacker or potentially unwanted programs. Once installed, it takes control of your web browsers (Internet Explorer, Mozilla Firefox, Google Chrome and even Safari browsers) and displays various advertisements to interrupt your browsing activities. You will be inundated with annoying pop-up windows or adverts. It changes your default homepage and search provider without your permission and no matter how many times you try to change them back, it still does the same thing. The hijacker redirects you to Searchzillions.com again and again in order to get more traffic. As mentioned above we can see that this hijacker can offer nothing beneficial to its users. Instead, it only displays sponsored links and misleading information to the users and its purpose is to promote various free programs and make users visit sponsored websites.
