Friendlyerror.com is a low-quality search engine that may be set as your Web browser's default homepage and new tab page although you don't remember doing such a thing. This is because, low-quality websites, more specifically search engines like Friendlyerror.com, may often use dubious methods to generate traffic and attract more visitors. One of the strategies that the owners of these websites may use involves browser hijackers – small pieces of software which anti-malware software removes successfully, although they are not threatening. The browser hijacker has one sole purpose – to modify the settings of all the computer's default Web browser. This isn't unsafe, as browser hijackers may stick to changing the Web browser's default homepage and new tab page to a low-quality websites such as Friendlyerror.com.
If your Web browser takes you to Friendlyerror.com unexpectedly, then it is very likely that a browser hijacker might be installed on your computer. There's no reason to worry since nothing bad can come out of this, but it is understandable that you might not be happy with the fact that your favorite homepage and new tab page were replaced by Friendlyerror.com. Often, reverting your Web browser's settings manually may not do anything, because the browser hijacker is still present and it may inject its own settings as soon as you restart the Web browser. This is why we suggest that users who are battling with a browser hijacker should download an anti-malware scanner and use it to clean their computers. Potent and up-to-date anti-malware software products can identify and remove all traces of the Friendlyerror.com browser hijacker easily, and allow you to restore your Web browser's original settings.
