Hijackers take control of various parts of your web browser, including your home page,
search pages, and search bar. They may also redirect you to certain sites should you
mistype an address or prevent you from going to a website they would rather you not,
such as sites that combat malware. Some will even redirect you to their own search engine
when you attempt a search.
