Posted: March 6, 2014

UpdateLearn.com is a browser hijacker website, which may be associated with adware. Browser hijackers may help to modify search results in major search engines and unwillingly redirect computer users to UpdateLearn.com and similar websites designed to make a profit from increased website traffic and clicks on advertisements. Adware and browser hijackers linked to commercial websites may attempt to show unwanted pop-up advertisements related to the computer user's browsing habits. Adware gathers the PC user's browsing information in order to transmit and use it for the purpose of delivering targeted advertisements and banners. After hijacking the Web browser, browser hijackers may replace the default homepage and search provider with UpdateLearn.com. UpdateLearn.com won't provide PC users with any trustworthy and secure search provider capabilities. If the computer user attempts to search for a certain keyword or phrase in any genuine search service, eventually, he may get nothing pertaining to the initial query because search results were changed with web-links unrelated to the initial query.
