Security experts warn about reappearance of Delta Homes virus!
Also known as browser hijacker, this program was first detected in the middle of 2013. Just like its current version, it was mostly distributed with a help of various freewares, such as infamous Babylon Toolbar, Softonic, Any.Do, BeeLine Reader and other free applications. It renewed its activity in the beginning of 2014, after hackers improved its rootkit capabilities that gave it more powers to hide deep in OS and prevent its removal.
When installed on the system, Delta-homes.com attempts to modify system’s settings and blocks home page with default search engine. As a result, victim is made to forget about Google, Bing, Yahoo or other search engines. In addition to this, he/she is bombarded with altered search results and different ads that are typically filled with various links. If any of these ads tricks the victim, it redirects him/her to affiliate website. Click after click, hackers keep redirecting people to specific websites and increase their page rank/sales.
It seems that forty percent of PC users who have been affected by the new version of Delta-Homes.com virus live in Russia. Sounds funny, especially when you know what country this virus comes from.
