The Roicharger.com infection is a confirmed web browser hijacker. Hijackers like Roicharger.com will use various tricks to redirect your browser towards highly dangerous and misleading websites that may steal your money or information, or attempt to install other malware.

Indirect Consequences of a Roicharger.com Hijack

Roicharger.com has been known to target popular browsers, especially Firefox. This very recent (as of 2011) hijacker can be skipped over by many popular anti-malware scanning products, so you should use multiple brands of scanners with updates installed as they're available. So far Roicharger.com has been confirmed to infect Windows XP systems, and it's highly probable that Roicharger.com can also infect other versions of Windows.

One primary sign of Roicharger.com on your system is unusual system resource strain. Roicharger.com has been reported to use almost all of a system's available memory, which can be seen through the web browser's process in Task Manager. This lack of available free memory can slow your system down, hinder the running of complex applications, and may even outright crash your computer.

Hijackers like Roicharger.com may also modify your browser settings in undesirable ways that reduce your privacy and safety. It may be impossible to change these settings back while Roicharger.com is present on your system, and this can eventually result in having your Internet connection disabled.
