What is yogadailyfitness.com?

Upon inspecting yogadailyfitness.com, our team concluded that it is a fake search engine that does not generate results. We also learned that users are likely to visit yogadailyfitness.com unintentionally when their browsers are hijacked by an unwanted extension. Overall, yogadailyfitness.com and the associated app should not be trusted.

Yogadailyfitness.com overview

We found that yogadailyfitness.com redirects to bing.com (a legitimate search engine) when entering a search query. It may also direct users to other addresses, including unreliable search engines. Either way, yogadailyfitness.com does not generate any results, making it a bogus search engine.

Yogadailyfitness.com is forcibly opened by a browser when it is hijacked by YogaDailyFitness, an extension that hijacks a browser by chanting its settings. YogaDailyFitness targets the default search engine, homepage, and new tab page. This extension sets them to yogadailyfitness.com.

Since yogadailyfitness.com is associated with a browser hijacker and does not deliver its own results, it should be avoided. Yogadailyfitness.com might direct users to shady search engines designed to provide misleading results, including links to phishing sites, technical support scams, and other potentially malicious websites.

It is also worth mentioning that yogadailyfitness.com (and YogaDailyFitness) could be capable of gathering various data. The targeted information might include browsing history, search queries, and even personal information entered into forms. They can also track your interactions with websites and advertisements.

Overall, users are advised to remove yogadailyfitness.com and YogaDailyFitness from affected browsers as soon as possible to avoid exposure to potentially malicious web pages and privacy or security risks.

How did YogaDailyFitness install on my computer?

Browser hijackers are often distributed alongside free or unreliable software and presented as optional offers during installation. They gain control of browsers when users complete the installation without changing the default settings or unticking the checkboxes mentioning these additional offers.

Users may also add or install browser hijackers through deceptive advertisements, fake software updates, and notifications from shady websites. Additionally, unofficial app stores, third-party downloaders, dubious websites, peer-to-peer networks, and similar platforms are commonly used to deceive users into downloading these hijackers.

How to avoid installation of browser hijackers?

Always use official pages and app stores when downloading extensions, applications, and other software. During installation, carefully decline any unwanted offers by using the provided settings (e.g., "Advanced" or "Custom") or by unticking checkboxes.

Avoid clicking ads, pop-ups, alerts, and similar content on suspicious web pages, as these interactions can lead to unintended downloads and installations. Additionally, ensure that all software and your operating system are always up to date and regularly scan your computer using a trusted security tool.

If your computer is already infected with YogaDailyFitness, we recommend running a scan with Combo Cleaner Antivirus for Windows to automatically eliminate this browser hijacker.
