Browser hijackers are infections that can modify browser’s settings. Some hijackers can do that without any permission, in which case, it should be obvious that they are malicious and, therefore, require removal. Others can slither in using deception, and you might be tricked into letting them in yourself. So, which of these scenarios represent your situation? The distribution of Myhomepage123.com is quite unpredictable, but it is most likely that you will find this threat packaged with malware. Were you tricked into installing allegedly reliable software that, in reality, is malicious? That might be hard to realize, and so a malware scanner is irreplaceable. Install this tool to examine your operating system, and soon you will know if or not you need to delete Myhomepage123.com-related malware. Do not panic if dangerous infections are found. In such a case, you need to quickly research the threats that were found to figure out which ones you need to eliminate right away and which ones can wait.

As we have discussed already, the interface of Myhomepage123.com is not suspicious, and that is because it reminds us of any regular search engine. Well, things are not as simple as they might look. In reality, when you enter keywords into the search dialog box represented by the infection, you are automatically redirected to google.com/search. Are you familiar with this search provider? You probably are, considering that it is the most popular search provider in the world. Google Search was not picked to display search results by accident. You are more likely to trust these results than the ones represented by an unfamiliar hijacker, and this is where you might be fooled. Although the results appear to be authentic and genuine, remember that your search query was processed via Myhomepage123.com, and this hijacker could modify the results shown to you to include potentially unreliable sponsored links! Obviously, if a search tool cannot provide you with reliable search results, you should remove it immediately.

If you cannot confirm that – and we cannot – are you sure you can trust the hijacker? At the end of the day, the services of Myhomepage123.com are not beneficial, and we suggest replacing this homepage option with a better, more reliable alternative.
