Exinariuminix.info was determined as another browser hijacker that displays malicious banners and ads. Initially, Exinariuminix.info is a legitimate advertising service, however, some frauds exploit its capabilities for injecting low-sort advertisements and generating money on them. Furthermore, if you encounter Exinariuminix.info at the start of your browser, then this is because it crawls into "Scheduled tasks" (Windows application to automize different processes) and creates registry value for Exinariuminix.info to pop up once the browser is opened. Thus, whatever you do to prevent its stubborn appearance, it will come back multiple times until it is scheduled in Windows settings. Note that Exinariuminix.info allows its developers to collect personal data and sell to cybercriminals. To prevent this, you should delete it from your PC as soon as possible. Our free guide below will help you to do so.

Tinychill.com is a malicious redirect categorized as a browser hijacker. Developers state that their software is meant to improve browsing capabilities, however, this is a fool. Instead, Tinychill.com tracks sensitive data that is therefore misused by third-parties for making a profit. To do so, the program modifies browser settings and prevents any attempts to roll them back. As a result, the app assigns a new search engine and homepage as well. In our case, the search engine is changed to feed.tinychill.com and does not generate unique results since it just redirects users to legitimate Yahoo.com.

Such programs are often categorized as adware or browser hijackers because they incessantly display unwanted advertisements and intrusive pop-ups whilst browsing.

It is also necessary to mention that Receiver Helper is covering multiple websites like Google Chrome, Mozilla Firefox, and Safari as well. After infiltration, it customizes the default homepage and search engine. By doing so, developers add ostensibly useful features that improve users' experience. However, the entered queries are not uniquely-generated, instead, they are taken from legitimate Bing or Yahoo. By altering settings, extortionists are able to spy on your personal data (e.g. passwords, messages, history, IP-addresses, geolocations, etc.) and share it with third-parties.
