By GoldSparrow in Browser Hijackers

Computer users that like to participate in lotteries and test their luck may be surprised pleasantly to see a message saying 'Congratulations! Your [IP address] was randomly selected as today's lucky contestant!' However, these notifications are used at Gandakiki.top to lure users into providing information like their phone number, email address, P.O. Box, gender and age. That type of information may be collected by the owners of the Gandakiki.top domain and be sold to marketers for profit. Moreover, the Gandakiki.top domain is associated with a browser hijacker that may push 'You are a lucky winner!' messages into the browser of the affected user. The Gandakiki.top browser hijacker may be deployed via free software installers and appear as a browser extension that promises to enhance your experience on social media like Facebook and Twitter. The Gandakiki.top pop-ups may include your IP address, system version, and browser type, but that does not mean that you are chosen by random selection. The code of the Gandakiki.top site is crafted with a particular JavaScript inserted in the header that shows the 'Congratulations! Your [IP address] was randomly selected as today's lucky contestant!' messages to every visitor.

Also, the Gandakiki.top browser hijacker may use images from Microsoft.com, Google.com, and Nokia.com to convince users that they have won an expensive electronic device. Users that are presented with the Gandakiki.top pop-ups may be lead to believe that they need to send an SMS to the phone number of the company that is willing to give them a premium device. However, that short message may cost you up to $20 and the Gandakiki.top browser hijacker may show a notification that there was some system error, and you need to send a new SMS. That may occur repeatedly, and you should not follow the instructions that are displayed on the Gandakiki.top pop-up windows. The Gandakiki.top browser hijacker may show pop-ups every time you turn on your PC or set up a new tab page in your Internet browser. You can remove the Gandakiki.top browser hijacker from your PC with the help of a credible anti-spyware utility that can scan running processes in the Windows Task Manager, find Potentially Unwanted Programs and remove them.
