Threat Database Browser Hijackers Featuredlistings.ca

Featuredlistings.ca

Featuredlistings.ca is a dubious website that hosts what can be classified as a fake search engine. In most cases, such fake search engines are promoted through browser-hijackers that take over the user's browser and force it to redirect to the respective search engine resulting in artificially inflated traffic. Users who notice that their homepage, new page tab, and the default search engine have been changed to featuredlisstings.ca could have such a browser hijacker installed on their computers.

While most of these applications boast having an array of useful features, nearly all of them are barely functioning, not to mention the numerous caveats that arise from having a browser hijacker on your device. First, it could be equipped with data logging capabilities to track the user's IP address and geolocation, in addition to the conducted search queries and visited websites. Additionally, sponsored advertisements that redirect to shady or even compromised third-party websites may be injected into the list of search results. If the affected users decide to restore their browser setting to the way they were before, the browser hijacker application could prevent them from doing so.

It is recommended to remove Featuredlistings.ca from your computer as soon as possible by using a legitimate anti-malware program to make sure that there are no traces of this browser hijacker left, preferably.
