The Your-home-page.net URL appears, at first glance, to offer convenience to computer users. The Your-home-page.net looks like a fairly generic search engine, with various icons lined up in a row at the bottom that supposedly connect to popular websites such as Facebook and Pinterest. However, Your-home-page.net is associated with browser hijackers, and its supposed search features may be merely designed to deliver advertising and affiliate marketing content rather than any kind of useful search results. If your Web browser homepage and default search engine have been changed to Your-home-page.net, it is almost certain that a Web browser hijacker has been installed on your computer.
