Most Web surfers might use search engines like Bing, Yahoo, Google and DuckDucGo as their start page because they offer quick links to associated services like MSN, Yahoo Answers and YouTube. You may not react well if you are redirected to Ourstartpage.com whenever you open your browser and type in the search bar and the Omnibox. Security investigators report that the Ourstartpage.com page is associated with a browser hijacker that is designed to change the user's DNS configuration and reroute Web traffic to Ourstartpage.com, as well as sponsored sites. The browser hijacker linked to Ourstartpage.com may have landed on your PC bundled with third-party software like Highlightly and iRobinHood.

The Ourstartpage.com browser hijacker may open new tabs in your browser that are loaded with marketing offers related to text you highlight.
