Avoid – Browser hijacker

    The VERY INSTANT I checked my site after putting PropellerAds code on it – within seconds, my browser was hijacked with nasty redirects.

    Shame because the company looks like a decent one in every other department, but this is unacceptable.

    Sucuri had to clean my site afterwards.

    I tested this install and I don’t see any browser redirects by default just from installing it. Did you happen to pick any specific settings?

    I think the redirect virus is not caused by PropellerAds code you installed. Have you installed any suspicious program or clicked on any links? Most redirect virus and browser hijacker spread via malicious ads and bundles. You can Try some removal tools to can your PC for malware.
