Hotfeed.net

Hotfeed.net is a search site that emphasizes its links to affiliated and sponsored partners – an obvious attempt to direct traffic for the sake of profiting from 'pay-per-click' style revenue. While SpywareRemove.com malware research team has yet to find any malicious activities on the part of Hotfeed.net, there have reports of PC threats that force compromised PCs to load Hotfeed.net without the consent of their users. These browser hijackers also may be involved in less-obvious attacks besides promoting Hotfeed.net and should always be removed with appropriate anti-malware utilities. If appropriate actions are taken to protect your computer, contact with Hotfeed.net, in and of itself, shouldn't be considered a problem – with the caveat that SpywareRemove.com malware researchers are unable to endorse the theoretical trustworthiness or safety of links that are promoted by Hotfeed.net in its search for profit.

Why Hotfeed.net May Be Burning Your Browser

Hotfeed.net is relatively indistinguishable from other little-known search sites that promote their sponsors as a way to make a quick buck. While SpywareRemove.com malware experts didn't find anything unusual in Hotfeed.net's actual web content, they did take care to note that Hotfeed.net doesn't have a history of promoting malware and isn't associated with scammers, spammers or other online criminal activities of any sort. As such, there's no reason to be afraid of temporary contact with Hotfeed.net – which may come about sooner than you would think.

What did cause Hotfeed.net to enter the radar of SpywareRemove.com malware analysts was the occurrence of multiple browser-hijacking attacks that redirected innocent web browsers from other sites to Hotfeed.net. Recurring redirects to Hotfeed.net and similar sites are symptomatic of the presence of PC threats that adjust your browser's settings without your permission, and, in most cases, can't be resolved by removing your web browser.

Browser hijackers that promote Hotfeed.net and similar profit-seeking sites tend to reduce your web-browsing security, block websites by redirecting you away from them and may even display pop-ups or other forms of unwanted content. They may be installed as browser-specific add-ons or as general programs, either of which usually will try to avoid being deleted by the usual methods.

Feeding Your Browser a Heaping Spoonful of Anti-Hotfeed.net Medicine

Even though Hotfeed.net isn't a danger to your computer, SpywareRemove.com malware researchers recommend that you take hasty action against any signs of repeated redirects to Hotfeed.net (or other sites) without your consent. Such attacks may be related to PC threats that can steal confidential information or reduce your computer's overall state of security. However, very few browser hijackers have any defenses against proper anti-malware software, even if they refuse to uninstall themselves through the same means that would remove benign programs.

Hotfeed.net-promoting browser hijackers are most likely to be installed after you've attempted to install unrelated programs that have been compromised and forced to include malware installers. Sources for such applications tend to include disreputable freeware sites and file-downloading networks (such as torrents), and SpywareRemove.com malware researchers recommend that you analyze such file sources closely before installing anything from them.
