Browser hijackers can take numerous forms. The most common types of browser hijackers are either malicious Browser Helper Objects (BHOs), that appears as a toolbar for Internet Explorer or other web browsers or Trojan infections that alter the victim's HOSTS file. This second kind of browser hijacker is often much more dangerous than its counterparts, as it fundamentally changes how an infected computer system connects to the Internet. Even worse, these kinds of Trojans are almost invariably connected to a rootkit infection that helps hide them from detection and also disables legitimate anti-malware software on the victim's computer system.
