Egystart.com is a suspicious redirection domain that is related to a browser hijacker. Egystart.com may infect your Web client and load its unreliable URL automatically. Egystart.com may transfer its visitors towards other equally dubious pages. The particular site that your browser is going to load depends on the latest instructions. At this moment, Egystart.com may redirect PC users towards Fannfox.com. The second page may turn out to be unsafe for your system. It may contain hundreds of links that may transfer you towards potentially harmful sites. Fannfox.com is written entirely in Arabic, so if you don't speak the language, you may be unable to navigate through it. This page contains the logos of some of the most famous places in the cyberspace such as Facebook, Twitter and YouTube.
These icons try to evoke trust and make the visitor assume that all links on Fannfox.com are safe. However, some of them may open domains that spread threats or Potentially Unwanted Programs (PUPs). As long as the browser hijacker remains, you may see Egystart.com and Fannfox.com all the time respectively. Egystart.com may load these URL addresses whenever you go online. The browser hijacker may corrupt Google Chrome, Mozilla Firefox and Internet Explorer simultaneously. It may also be the reason for functionality problems like freezes and crashes. If the people behind this hijacker decide, Egystart.com may start transferring PC users towards different sites than Fannfox.com. Egystart.com might have entered due to some system vulnerabilities. The other option is that you loaded it while you were installing some freeware. It is essential to clean your system from this cyber threat as soon as possible to prevent more severe damage. The best way to eliminate the browser hijacker behind Egystart.com is to use an advanced security utility.
