Thank you for your question. There are a variety of ways to determine whether your computer is infected with a browser hijacker:
1. You might notice that your browser has started loading a different homepage or search engine once you open your browser.
2. An increased amount of ads may begin loading on your visited websites, usually offering you to purchase some products, services or install software updates.
3. Unfamiliar processes will be running on your Task manager.
4. You will not be able to switch back to your regular search engine or browser.

Nevertheless, the most reliable virus detection method is the automatic system scan with a reliable antivirus software. Anti-malware utilities like FortectIntego will detect unauthorized activity on your computer and terminate it immediately. So, we suggest relying on these professional tools rather than look for the infection yourself.
