The Helpfulhint.net domain is blacklisted by several Web filters because it may host misleading information and be part of a phishing campaign. Also, the Helpfulhint.net domain registered on the 67.227.230.5 IP address is associated with a browser hijacker that directs users to content on Helpfulhint.net. The Helpfulhint.net browser hijacker may load offers and surveys from Helpfulhint.net on tabs in your Internet browser titled 'Please Answer Our Survey - Enter the Sweep Stake'. Computer users that install free software bundles with the 'Express' or 'Typical' option may install the Helpfulhint.net browser hijacker unknowingly. Security researchers note that browsers that are affected by the Helpfulhint.net browser hijacker may run slow and crash often. Additionally, Web surfers may not be able to open new tabs and enter URL addresses unless answering a minimum of four questions on surveys provided on Helpfulhint.net.

Web surfers may be suggested that they can win a Samsung 65" 3D LED Smart TV, Dell Inspiron computer and $50 SkyAuction Savings Certificate by completing the survey. Usually, the surveys on Helpfulhint.net are not longer than four questions but users may be redirected to sponsored websites and asked to associate services with their daily activities. Users that decide to put up with the activities of the Helpfulhint.net browser hijacker and complete a survey will be directed to enter their name, phone number, email address and physical address on a downloadable certificate by Plasma Net FreeLotto. However, that is a hoax, and you should abstain from entering that type of data on forms provided by a browser hijacker. Security analysts advise users to incorporate a reputable anti-malware application on their Windows PC to eradicate the Helpfulhint.net browser hijacker securely.
