About Hotspot Shield
Hotspot Shield is a search toolbar, an extension that works for different browsers including Mozilla Firefox, Safari, Google Chrome, Internet Explorer etc. This very extension is actually horribly pernicious in nature and redirects URLs to unknown websites with lots of ads and vague pay per click links that generate revenue for cyber thugs. Hotspot Shield is installed by a PC user himself several times since it seems legit. Apart from this, it can come along bundled in some other freeware softwares downloaded by a user. So, avoid downloading too much “free stuffs”. Being a redirect virus, it configures browser settings, changes home page and records browser surfing activities, history, caches, cookies etc. and uploads them to a remote server. This guide will help you remove Hotspot Shield for certain.
