Vhomepage.com

By GoldSparrow in Browser Hijackers

Vhomepage.com is a website that resembles the Google's home page strongly with one minor difference – Vhomepage.com also includes a small collection of links to popular websites and social media networks such as Facebook, LinkedIn, Amazon, eBay, Twitter, and others. The search field found on Vhomepage.com uses Google's original search algorithm which means that users of Vhomepage.com will not be provided with manipulated or sponsored search results. Regardless of this fact, Vhomepage.com is still a page we wouldn't recommend because it is linked to an aggressive browser hijacker that may modify a Web browser's behavior without the user's knowledge. The Vhomepage.com browser hijacker relies on deceptive marketing tricks to get to as many computers as possible.

One of the distribution methods that the hijacker may rely on primarily is software bundling – a technique commonly used by publishers of freeware and shareware applications. Software bundles that contain the Vhomepage.com browser hijacker may use misleading installation instructions and other shady tricks whose purpose is to confuse users and get them to install adware, browser hijackers or other dubious software. If your search engine and Web browser's homepage are housing Vhomepage.com, and you didn't authorize this change, then you have the Vhomepage.com browser hijacker on your computer, and you should take the necessary measures to remove it. The best solution is to use a trustworthy anti-malware product that can fully remove all of the Vhomepage.com browser hijacker's files.
