Flipora Hijacker is an application that causes annoying redirects to static.flipora.com and various other issues to the affected PC. Flipora Hijacker obtains access to the victimized computer over spam email attachments and by bundling into other applications that are usually free and able to be downloaded form the web. When installed, Flipora Hijacker compromises the vulnerable web browser and obtains access and control over the infected computer system. Flipora Hijacker makes modifications to some browser settings and alters the default search page and homepage to static.flipora.com, and even ads unidentified websites to the bookmarks list. When computer users strive to fulfill online searches on the web they will get rerouted to static.flipora.com instead of their queries. Diversions to static.flipora.com are very irritating and they may also result in invasion of malware threats if PC users are taken to infected websites or click on malevolent links. Flipora Hijacker aims at gathering confidential information, such as the PC user's browsing history in order to use it to push numerous products or accomplish other activities. While being installed, Flipora Hijacker adds extensions and infected files on the targeted PC.
