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. Some browser hijackers can disturb browsing experience by imposing deceptive ads and banners that contain redirects to other malicious pages. These manipulations can lead to significant problems that put your data under severe risk.

Receiver Helper is one of those rogue applications that modify browser preferences on Mac. Such programs are often categorized as adware or browser hijackers because they incessantly display unwanted advertisements and intrusive pop-ups whilst browsing. To illustrate, Receiver Helper shows an annoying message saying that "helper" will damage your computer and needs to be moved to the Trash. Weirdly, clicking on a shortcut leads to nothing, sometimes such messages may redirect users to dangerous websites that run executable scripts for infecting the PC. 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.
