Why Alhea.com Replaces Users Homepage and Search
Engine
  • As a typical browser hijacker, ALHEA.COM attacks
    many Internet browsers such as Google Chrome,
    Internet Explorer and Mozilla Firefox. It can
    change default browser settings and replace
    original start page and search engine without
    asking for any permission. To get into the target
    system, the unknown search provider disguises as
    a legit system file and hides in spam email
    attachments or unauthorized free shares.
    ALHEA.COM hijacker adds new codes to several
    system folders like boot-up folder and Registry
    Editor. As a result, it will run automatically
    each time you launch the computer.

  • Without doubt, ALHEA.COM forces you to make
    searches with its own search bar. But then youll
    find it rather disappointed. The fake search
    engine adds many sponsored links in the search
    results. Besides you could be redirected to
    commercial websites when trying to open new tabs
    or access desired pages. This is really annoying.
    You would be unable to browse the web and get
    useful information as before. Moreover, ALHEA.COM
    redirect could even generate unknown ads on the
    screen when you surf the Internet. Youd better
    pay much attention under such circumstance. To
    stop unwanted troubles, its wise to remove
    ALHEA.COM redirect malware instantly.

    privacy-invasive malware
