Luxemil.com Screenshot 1While 'Luxemil' may sound like a brand name for a prescription drug, Luxemil.com is a search site that pays affiliates a small fee to redirect traffic to Luxemil.com. Unfortunately, malware researchers have found cases of browser hijackers being exploited for Luxemil.com's revenue-making scheme, which forces infected PCs to load Luxemil.com without the consent of the person at the keyboard. While any brief contact with Luxemil.com isn't likely to damage your computer, lengthy exposure to browser hijackers that promote Luxemil.com may result in other security issues that can expose you to malicious web content or other PC threats. Given these issues, you always should use anti-malware software to disinfect your PC after noticing persistent redirects to Luxemil.com or other suspicious changes to your browser.

When a Million Choices for Online Destinations Narrow Down to Luxemil.com

Even though Luxemil.com may not include the same safety features that popular search engines utilize for the purpose of displaying search results that are both safe and relevant, SpywareRemove.com malware experts don't consider temporary exposure to Luxemil.com to be any cause for alarm.

  • Having your homepage or new tab locked to Luxemil.com (even if your browser's settings indicate different websites).

What's Not So Harmless About a Harmless Trip to Luxemil.com

Deleting most browser hijackers for Luxemil.com and other sites can be done safely if you have access to competent anti-malware programs.
