Home.login-help.net

Home.login-help.net is a search site that malware experts have connected to recently-developed, potentially unwanted software, such as browser add-ons and extensions. Although having a browser loading Home.login-help.net or redirected to it is not equivalent to being exposed to a harmful website, it still is a security issue worth addressing. Most PC security programs designed for removing adware and similar nuisances also should be adept at removing a Home.login-help.net hijacker from your PC.

Helping Your Browser Load Sites You Didn't Want

Designing a competent, independent search engine is an endeavor normally best suited to companies with the enormous finances of Microsoft or Google. Smaller developers often try to use similar themes while not providing any new features, as malware analysts have seen with the Home.login-help.net domain. This website 'search engine' redirects all of its searches through Yahoo, and may insert additional, sponsored results for creating personal advertisements revenue.

Despite its lack of meaningful features, Home.login-help.net is promoted by various browser hijackers and other PUPs, such as the browser security add-on SaferBrowser. These promotions may take the form of the default browser redirecting itself to Home.login-help.net during any attempted Web searches. Other instances also have been confirmed of Home.login-help.net hijackings triggering on specific sites, such as the Gmail website.

Campaigns related to Home.login-help.net hijackings haven't limited themselves to Windows PCs; Mac OS X also has been included in the list of affected systems. While malware analysts have yet to establish all of the brands of Web-browsing applications under impact, they have verified that there are no modifications to the affected browsers' internal homepage or search configurations. Chrome and Safari are likely to be dominant targets.

Logging out of Home.login-help.net's Profit Margins

Home.login-help.net isn't a threatening website, but does benefit from poor software and Web services marketing practices that call its business associations into question. PC users unable to stop their browsers from loading Home.login-help.net automatically should clear all browser caches. If the Home.login-help.net hijackings continue, reboot your computer using the 'Safe Mode with Networking' option and scan your system with a trusted adware and PUP removal tool. Always keep your Web browser closed while removing unwanted software related to it; an open memory process may be unable to be fully purged of typical settings hijackings.

Programs related to this domain, like SaferBrowser, have trends for distributing themselves by bundle installers. You can see such software bundles at torrent networks and some 'warehouse' style free software websites, but they may be identifiable during security file scans. Unless you're sure that a file is safe for your PC, consider scanning it before launching it, rather than hoping that it try to install something that modifies your computer for the financial advantage of others.
