SEARCH_HIJACKER
SearchPage Hijackers take control over your default search engine. This doesn't mean you cannot use your favorite search engine, it means that when you mistype something, their search page will pop-up. This generally includes alot of advertisements and generally contains a search engine that will deliver advertising content rather then relevant search results.
HIJACKER
Hijackers are applications that attempt to take control of the user's home page or search function and reset it with the site of the hijacker's settings. This site is almost always loaded with ads, pop-ups, and/or other make-money-fast portals. Many use stealth techniques or misleading dialogue boxes to perform installation. Hijacker programs will put a reference to themselves in the StartUp or Registry, so that the software reinstalls itself every time the computer is started. If the user tries to change any of these settings, the hijacker then changes them back upon reboot.
