Hi, I downloaded a version of HotSpot Shield and now I keep getting redirected to anchor.free whenever I try to visit video websites... I try many methods to delete it, but it's still there! I also get redirected to a "share.gethss.io"...how do i remove it?
If your browser keep redirecting to these sites, your computer might have infected by PUP (potentially unwanted programs). The PUP can be downloaded from its websites, but it is usually distributed via other infected software. Alongside the PUP could be other unwanted programs such as
Anchor.free & Share.gethss.io, which is created to take over your web browser without your permission. Once inside, a series of troubles will be aroused.
- Unwanted and unstoppable pop-ups or redirects will keep showing up;
- Your browser homepage and new tab will be altered;
- Your IP, emails, usernames, passwords, or credit card details will be collected;
- Junkware or malware will be downloaded to your computer via the popups;
- Your computer will run slower than before.
