Safenavweb.com

Posted: February 13, 2008

Safenavweb.com is a vile browser hijacker that is usually brought to your computer by various Trojans, infiltrating your computer via security loopholes. Once executed, Safenavweb.com will modify your browser settings in order to change your homepage to www.safenavweb.com, as well as redirect your browser to malicious websites and download supplementary malware to your system without your consent and approval. Safenavweb.com starts at Windows boot and displays fake Windows-like pop-ups stating that your machine is in danger and needs to be purged out of parasites. Safenavweb.com will then repeatedly offer certain rogue anti-spyware applications as a “perfect” solution. Safenavweb.com violates your privacy and security and, therefore, should be removed from your system as soon as possible.
