The name of the program that is likely causing the issues you’re currently dealing with is All-czech.com. All the information that you might need concerning this unwanted and invasive application can be found in the following paragraphs. You will learn what All-czech.com and other similar programs are used for, whether and how dangerous they can be for your PC and also how to keep them away from your machine from now on.

What is All-czech.com?

Before we get any further, we need to clarify what type of program you are currently dealing with. All-czech.com is widely referred to as a Browser Hijacker. These are applications that are commonly used as advertising tools. They excel at promoting different software products, services, websites, etc. And some of them can also gather valuable marketing data, which can later be sold to third parties for extra income. When it comes to whether and how useful they actually are for the users themselves, most Browser Hijackers hardly have any actual functionality that would make it worth keeping them around. Some programs of this kind might actually come with some form of valuable feature, but even then it is up for debate whether that is enough to compensate for the negative traits of the program. All in all, you must remember that in the majority of cases the major goal of this kind of software is to gain profit for its developers.

Are Browser Hijackers some form of malware?

There a different opinions regarding this question. Some refer to Browser Hijackers as malware, due to the fact that most programs of this type have the tendency to invade the user’s personal space and implement different changes to their browsers without asking for permission. On the other hand, there is a significant difference between real computer viruses like Ransomware, Trojan horses, Spyware, etc. and Browser Hijackers. Unlike the aforementioned examples of actual malware, most programs like All-czech.com can hardly cause any harm to your machine or online security, especially if you are being careful around the unwanted application. Browser Hijackers are not inherently malicious and in most cases would not attempt to cause any damage to your system.

Why you must eliminate the Hijacker ASAP

Generally, as soon as you notice that some form of unwanted software has been installed on your PC, your first job should be to see the unwanted program/application removed, even if you do not think it is dangerous. The same should be applied in case you’ve landed All-czech.com. Despite not being a noxious Ransomware or a dangerous Trojan, there are still quite a few, to say the least, questionable traits that most Browser Hijackers posses.

• We mentioned above that some applications of this type are able to gather valuable marketing info. The method they usually employ in order to do that is they scan your online history and recent searches. That way they can determine what you like, which in turn allows for the ads aimed at your browser to be more relevant to your individual preferences.
• As a very common type of internet advertising tools, a lot of Hijackers tend to fill the browsers of users with all sorts of nagging promoting content such as banners, pop-ups and box messages, which can sometimes get very aggressive and aggravating.
• Another common issue, especially among less powerful computers, is that Browser Hijackers are prone to cause a system slow-down and even freezes/crashes. This is because sometimes programs of this type require significant amounts of RAM and CPU time for their processes to be supported.

Provide your PC with the best protection possible!

Below this last paragraph, you can find a detailed manual on how to uninstall and remove the obstructive Browser Hijacker. However, before you go there, make sure to memorize the following tips and guidelines and also make sure to use them in future. They will not only help you avoid Browser Hijackers in future, but they will also help you keep your computer safe from more dangerous software such as Trojan horses and Ransomware.

• Never allow your browser to automatically download anything. Make sure that your permission is always required prior to a file being downloaded onto your PC.
• When checking your e-mail, be careful not to open any spam letters. If there are any messages that look like spam, directly delete them.
• Never visit or download software from sites that you cannot trust or ones that look sketchy and illegal.
• Consider getting an anti-malware/adware tool to further enhance your computer’s security.
• Always pay close attention for any added applications to the setup wizards of programs you’re about to install since the installer file might actually be a file bundle. Once you see if anything has been added to the main program, remove everything that looks suspicious and potentially undesirable. If you are presented with an Advanced setup menu option or anything similar, go for it and use it to fully customize the installation to your liking.
