Mountainbender

When browsing the Web, you can start noticing numerous pop-ups displayed by a website named Mountainbender and you have no idea why is this happening. One of the causes of these unwanted pop-ups is that you saw and opened a corrupted advertisement that was linked to the website. It is called browser hijacking because the invader is capable of changing various Web browser settings and, from there on, the affected computer will start displaying a new search engine, new homepage and other unwelcomed alterations.

Browser hijackers are applications that should be removed from an affected machine upon detection because they can redirect the users' Web browser to compromised websites offering bogus products and services, collect as much information they can and use it to perform harmful actions or put it on sale to third parties for the best offer, don't matter how hazardous it can be.

Although Mountainbender is not the kind of website that you will visit voluntarily, it is not difficult to have it installed on your computer. This is why it is so important to be extra careful when downloading new applications, especially the ones that cannot be checked. To get rid of Mountainbender you need to find its source and remove it with a good anti-malware program.
