You need to remove sweet-page.com, because there is nothing sweet about it, and prolonged exposure to browser hijacker may lead to even more serious infections.

The reason why a lot of users get tricked by this hijacker is its sophisticated interface. It is even said that sweet-page.com is published by Skytouch Technology Co, which makes an impression that the search engine has been developed by a reliable developer. Nevertheless, this infection is practically the same as Aartemis, Nation Zoom, Qone8 Virus and other similar browser hijackers from Qvo6 group. It means that you are not exactly prompted when sweet-page.com gets set as your default home page and search engine, although there is a high chance that you have installed this browser hijacker onto your computer yourself.

There is such a possibility, because there is no download link at the official website, thus it means that sweet-page.com installer usually arrives bundled with other freeware.

It means that you need to be careful when you download various applications from third party file hosting websites. After all, such shareware programs often carry additional applications that get installed onto computers automatically most of the time, because users do not go through the installation process carefully.

In case sweet-page.com is set as your default home page and you try using its search engine, you will see that this browser hijacker does not even have its own search provider. Sweet-page.com makes use of customized Yahoo! search engine. The browser hijacker actually cannot do much of a harm on its own, but you need to take into account the fact that sweet-page.com can expose you to potentially malicious third party advertisements that could be embedded with corrupted links.

Not to mention that sweet-page.com definitely collects information on your web browsing habits, and you definitely would not want that to be shared with affiliated third parties for marketing or even malware distribution purposes.
