Security Hijack is a browser hijacker which spreads via trojan that makes a perfect background for malware to sneak. It is known that usually hijacker comes through the help of My Security Shield and Smart Security applications. Both are malicious and fraudulent.

Bogus systems imitate computer scans and display numerous pop-ups that state about computer infections. Do not fall for these kinds of scams. They just want to trick you into thinking your PC is severely compromised and should be healed with their “full” version. Ignore all notifications they shoe but use decent anti-spyware application and terminate My Security Shield or Smart Security in order to get rid of Security Hijack.
