As it may be concluded from its name, such software could alter most of your browsers’ settings. The inflicted changes may lead to the the broadcast of lots of ads; as well as to some intense annoying redirecting, and/or to the setting of some unknown search engines/homepages. These are the possible effects Jamper Chrome Virus may have on your system.

Potential suspicious effects:

Although the general functions of hijackers have already been discussed above, there may be some  activities that Jamper Chrome Virus could do, which may really be suspicious – like the thorough research on your browsing preferences. As a result of reviewing your browser history records, the ad flow which may be overwhelming your browser could be adjusted to show you only the ads of the products (services) you are likely to be interested in. That’s why some experts see this kind of software as potentially unwanted.

Is there any relation between hijackers and the real forms of malware (such as Ransomware)?

Precisely speaking, browser hijackers are NOT related to any malicious program, which comes from the fact that they do not have any actual harmful features. The specifics of the famous malware categories such as Ransomware and Trojans may include researching your data storages and encrypting those of your files, which you most regularly access. Furthermore, the normal viruses, for example the ones from the Ransomware group, are more than capable of completely crashing your whole system; or deleting some of your essential data there; as well as – of formatting all of your drives. One more typical characteristic of the popular types of malware, instance – the Trojans, is their ability to spy on you and track all your activities online and out of the web immediately after the virus has infiltrated your device. Nothing like that has ever happened as a result of an infection caused by a hijacker.

How does the process of infecting your PC conducted by a browser hijacker occur?

The probable ways of distributing Jamper Chrome Virus are normally directly connected to the reasons why such software is created in the first place. Programmers are very likely to spread browser hijackers and other ad-broadcasting software by collecting them inside bundles along with many other programs, games, and apps. In general, such software combinations can be reached, downloaded and used free of charge. The reason for that is the fact that their developers get paid based on the number of the ads their hijackers generate later on. Nevertheless, the current infection can NEVER occur just because you have downloaded a given software bundle. Such an infection could occur only on the condition that you install a given bundle using a rather time-saving and safety-disregarding installation method, which deprives you of choosing what you really need on your PC and what you can leave behind.

If you really need your PC to remain hijacker-free, it is vital that you should choose a more thorough installation feature – the ones you can choose and trust are called either the Custom, the Customized or the Advanced. That’s how you will be granted full control over the installation process of any bundle or a separate program, and you will be able to manually select which features and programs you are going to put inside your system.
