How does SoSoDesktop.com work?

You may have no idea how the hijacker ended up in your system, because it infiltrates computers using the bundling method. This means that it is presented to you during the installation process of other freeware. The trouble is that nowadays freeware comes with additional offers that are quite difficult to notice and decline. That is why you should be extremely cautious when installing free third party software onto your computer. Make sure that you always choose the Advanced mode and deselect all unfamiliar and unnecessary components.

Once inside, the hijacker sets SoSoDesktop.com as your home page and default search engine. In addition to that, it also starts flooding you with pop-ups, banners, coupons, links, and other ads that appear on all sites that you visit regardless of what they are about. These ads not only slow down your browsing, but they also expose you to unreliable data. Clicking on fake ads can lead to troubling consequences. You could infect your PC with malign programs, waste your money on bogus products, share your details with untrustworthy sources, and more. That is why we recommend that you avoid all ads until you eliminate SoSoDesktop.com from your browsers.
