homepage-web.com is a browser hijacker page, this means it changes your browser configuration without telling you about it. Offered by different free software setup programs, hoping you’ll go too fast while installing and won’t notice how homepage-web.com is being proposed as your new homepage. Of course we should say that is never their messages are never clear enough…
At first sight there’s nothing dangerous about this site, apart from the fact that by showing Bing’s logo it tries to make you believe you’re using Microsoft’s search engine. Leaving that aside, it shows no ads, no links, and when we perform a search it actually takes us back to the real Bing site. What is this page hiding then?
Every time you use homepage-web.com to search the web, it will send out different requests. The first request is done towards Bing to show you your results, but another one is made at the same time towards another browser hijacker, in this case trovi.com. You can’t be far away from the obvious conclusion… these two websites are related. homepage-web.com records everything you search for, this is clear in the last request it makes towards their own domain.
Clearly nothing can actually stop homepage-web.com from redirecting your browsing to any place it might see fitting, which is why our advice is to get rid of it as soon as possible.
