Antrie.com

Posted: December 14, 2017

The Antrie.com does not seem suspicious at all because it does not host any other content apart from a collection of bookmarks and a plain search feature, which redirects visitors to Google.com. However, there is something dubious about Antrie.com that most of our readers might not be familiar with – this website is associated with browser hijacking software which, once installed, might modify the configuration of Web browsers so that Antrie.com will be set as the default homepage or new tab page. Thankfully, changes like these are not harmful, but some users are likely to find them very annoying.

Usually, software that modifies your browser's settings is not considered to be harmful. Often, users might be misled into installing it because the Antrie.com hijacker is promoted as a useful utility that can enhance the quality of their Web searches, or boost their browser's overall functionality. However, we advise you to avoid dubious applications like these by checking the permissions they request carefully when you are about to install them. Often, the browser add-ons will state clearly that by installing them, you need to agree to allow them to replace your new tab page with an alternative Web page like Antrie.com.

If Antrie.com has been added to your browser's settings, and you do not want to continue seeing this page in your browser regularly, then we advise you to take the required steps to remove the Antrie.com hijacker from your PC. Since the add-on might be added under various names, the best way to deal with the issue is to run a suitable PC security scanner that will dispose of all files and components linked to Antrie.com.
