OZIP is a browser hijacker developed by Zoekyu Technologies Limited that may replace the homepage of affected computers with search.ozipcompresdsion.com/?oz=sp. and add the OZIP Serch 1.0.9 extension to the Google Chrome and Mozilla Firefox browsers. Affected computer users, instead of the desired search engine will get a New tab by OZIP. OZIP may enter a computer through the usual methods used by many browser hijackers present in the cyber space; bundled with free programs, included in email attachments, via corrupted websites, etc. OZIP may modificate your default search engine and homepage and lead you to compromised websites. Also, OZIP may gather information by monitoring the computer user's activities. Although the search results provided by OZIP are reliable, since they come from official search results, it is not recommended to keep OZIP as your search browser. Besides gathering data, it may cause numerous other problems on an affected computer. There's no doubt that computer users should get rid of the OZIP browser hijacker with an anti-malware program.
