MediaUpdate BHO

Removing MediaUpdate
Categories: BHO,Hijacker
The BHO (Browser Helper Object) waits for the user to post personal information to a monitored website.
As this information is entered by the user, it is captured by the BHO and sent back to the attacker.
When the default home page is hijacked, the browser opens to the web page set by the hijacker
instead of the user's designated home page. In some cases, the hijacker may block users from
restoring their desired home page.
