How Criminals Use TheWebTimes.net to Profit from Attacking Your Computer

Most websites generate revenue in the same way, by taking advantage of their web traffic in order to display advertisements or to convince their visitors to click on particular affiliate links. Websites that receive thousands or millions of hits can generate large amounts of money for the people behind them. While most legitimate websites rely on providing a useful service or on creating interesting content in order to attract their visitors, the TheWebTimes.net malicious website uses a browser hijacker to keep its visitors coming back. Simply put, a browser hijacker is a malware infection that takes over your Internet browser and operating system and forces you to visit the TheWebTimes.net website whenever you go online. Some ways in which a TheWebTimes.net browser hijacker can alter your online activity include the following:

1. The TheWebTimes.net browser hijacker can change your Internet browser's homepage to the TheWebTimes.net website instead of your normal address. This forces you to visit the TheWebTimes.net website immediately upon launching your Internet browser.
2. The TheWebTimes.net browser hijacker can change your browser settings so that any searches carried out on legitimate search engines will display links that have been altered to link to the TheWebTimes.net website.
3. If your computer is infected, your Internet browser may also randomly force you to visit TheWebTimes.net after entering another address or clicking on any of the buttons on your navigation bar.
4. An infected computer will also display pop-up windows with advertisements or websites related to TheWebTimes.net. These pop-up windows may even occur while your Internet browser is not open, due to this malware infection's ability to make changes to the Windows Registry.
