Symptoms of a Clkpop.com-Related Browser Hijacker Infection

There are several symptoms of a browser hijacker infection. Basically, the main goal of this kind of malware infection is ensuring that the victim's web browser visits Clkpop.com as often as possible, generating advertisement revenue through these artificially-inflated web traffic numbers. Some symptoms of a Clkpop.com-related malware infection include these following:

• Most browser hijackers associated with malicious search engines like Clkpop.com will change the results on reliable search engines so that they link to Clkpop.com instead of to their corresponding website. Inexperienced computer users may then mistake Clkpop.com for a legitimate search engine, falling prey to the various seedy websites advertised through the Clkpop.com web page.
• The main symptom of a Clkpop.com-related infection is the appearance of constant, annoying pop-up windows with the Clkpop.com web page as well as various kinds of fake error messages and alerts. These will often be connected with other scams apart from Clkpop.com, making it doubly important to deal with a Clkpop.com-related infection immediately.
• If your computer system is infected with Clkpop.com-related malware, you may find that your web browser's preferences have been changed so that Clkpop.com is the web browser's home page. Clkpop.com may also have been added to infected browser's bookmarks and default search engines.
• Browser hijackers can severely alter your computer system's normal operation. You may find that your computer is slow, unresponsive and crashes frequently. Your Internet connection speed may also be decreased, with your web browser taking a lot time to load pages.
