Deceiving domain - portaldosites.com
PortaldoSites.com is a browser-hijacking product that appears on computer systems by using deceptive techniques such as software bundling. Also, the PUP can travel through unsecured downloading sources such as cnet.com, download.com, softonic.com, soft32.com, or pretend to be a fake flash player update.
After successful infiltration, PortaldoSites.com interferes with web browsers such as Google Chrome, Mozilla Firefox, Internet Explorer, Microsoft Edge, and Safari. Then, the browser hijacker alters major settings such as the default search provider, homepage, and new tab URL.
As a result, you will be forced to use the new search engine that might load you with misleading search query results. Continuously, the browser hijacker can get you redirected to fraudulent domains and display intrusive advertising posts that promote misleading offers and deals.
