There are several reasons why EnhanceTronic may pose a threat to your computer and privacy, including the following:

  • EnhanceTronic may hijack your Web browser. EnhanceTronic seizes the Web browser and forcefully leads you to Web pages linked to EnhanceTronic. These types of redirects may occur repeatedly and may happen after accessing a link, typing an address into the affected Web browser's address bar or randomly.

  • EnhanceTronic may intrude on your privacy. EnhanceTronic does this by keeping tabs on your online activity and sending this information to a third party. Security researchers have also noted that EnhanceTronic may use this information to deliver additional advertisements to the compromised Web browser.
