Hello. I don’t know how but it seems that my homepage has changed automatically to Searchincognito.com. That wouldn’t be a problem by itself, however, if I try to change it, that only lasts until I restart my computer. After that, my homepage again appears as Searchincognito.com. Can I somehow fix this problem? Why did that happen to my computer?

It seems that you have got infected with a browser hijacker and adware virus called Searchincognito.com.

Why did that happen? Potentially unwanted software like that usually spreads through various networks of freeware and shareware software. For example, PDF creators, media players, codec packs and similar software include third party apps like Searchincognito.com PUP. The best way to avoid installing them is to avoid questionable freeware at all. But if you want to use them, you will have to check every installation step with advanced or custom installation, and always uncheck "agree" to any third party optional application installations.
Have a beautiful day,
