The Hi.fo Web portal is presented to users as a news page, which appears to be tailored to Russian-speaking Web surfers. The Hi.fo domain has a clone at Hi.ru, and both are associated with the Search.hi.fo search services provider. The Hi.fo group of sites are related to cases of browser hijacking, and you may want to avoid them. Hi.fo, Hi.ru, and Search.hi.fo are registered on the 90.156.201.124 and the 90.156.201.71 IP addresses that are known infection sources. AV engines may flag content from the 90.156.201.124 and the 90.156.201.71 IP addresses with the following detection names:

  • JS.Redirector.188
  • JS/Redirector.bp
  • Password-Stealer ( 0050de561 )
  • Suspicious.Cloud.9.B
  • TR/Crypt.Xpack.cyvcy
  • TSPY_STIMILINI.BE
  • Trojan.Generic.D599E63
  • Trojan.GenericKD.5873251
  • Trojan.JS.Redirector.BOO
  • Trojan.Script.Redirector.bqiube
  • malicious_confidence_60% (W)

The disturbingly long list of detections linked to Hi.fo and its variants should make users reconsider loading Hi.fo and using Search.hi.fo in their daily Internet activities. The Hi.fo browser hijacker may arrive on computers as a browser extension that can interact with Chromium-based Internet clients such as Google Chrome, Torch, SRWare Iron, and Yandex Browser that are favored in the Russian Federation. The influence of browser hijacking applications may expose users to advanced cyber threats and lead to a security compromise. Engines like Search.hi.fo should be avoided and Hi.fo may feature links to potentially unsafe locations on the Internet. PC users who find that their Internet browser loads Hi.fo and Search.hi.fo as the default start page, new tab and search provider may be infected with a browser hijacker. These programs types often make modifications to the user's browser shortcut and force them to load a page, which is not the page you have listed in the settings as your start page, new tab and search aggregator. You can deal with the Hi.fo browser hijacker and block access to unreliable search services with the help of a credible cyber security solution.
