HypeNet is adware, which may be marketed via numerous downloads of free software and, when installed, it may alter the compromised Web browser's default homepage, search engine or a new tab window with a questionable website designed to possibly increase website traffic and generate advertising revenue from ad clicks. HypeNet may show unwanted pop-up ads, deals, offers, sales and sponsored links in compromised search results of any popular search provider and may gather search phrases from the PC user's search requests. HypeNet may be distributed via unsafe downloads of other programs, especially free application that might had packaged into their installation wizard HypeNet. When the computer user uninstalls HypeNet from the computer system, the Web browser's default settings may not be reverted. This means that the PC user needs to remove HypeNet from the PC with a decent anti-malware tool.
