Are you familiar with LuckySearch123.com or Amisites.com hijackers? These are two of the hijackers that belong to the ELEX family, and it appears that Luckysite123.com might belong to it as well. This is a red flag because it is unlikely that a search tool that is associated with a family of browser hijackers is genuine and reliable. On the contrary, we believe that it is misleading and untrustworthy. Another red flag is the distribution methods used for the proliferation of the hijacker. Unsurprisingly, Luckysite123.com does not have an official installer. Instead, this suspicious hijacker is likely to be packaged with potentially unwanted programs, advertising-supported software, and, possibly, clandestine Trojans. In fact, depending on the installer, the hijacker could hide behind other malware, and it might be installed without your acknowledgment. Overall, even if you are familiar with all programs that came bundled with the hijacker, it is smart to install a malware scanner to inspect your Windows operating system. In the worst case scenario, you will find that you need to delete malware, but it is better to find that out right away.
Once Luckysite123.com gets in, it should change the homepage, and, maybe, the default search provider. The problem is that even if that is done illegally, the hijacker uses the Yahoo search engine, and that confuses its victims. After all, Yahoo Search is deemed reliable, and many users all around the world use it every single day. Unfortunately, that does not mean that you are safe using it. When the hijacker redirects you to Yahoo Search, it can add its own links, and they are likely to include sponsored links, advertisements. These links could be displayed according to your browsing history that is recorded and analyzed by data-trackers. Although it might seem great to receive offers based on your research, the seemingly useful links could turn out to be misleading, unreliable, useless, and dangerous. If you are not sure you can make the distinction between reliable and unreliable offers, it is best that you remove Luckysite123.com from the infected browsers. Are you still thinking about keeping this hijacker? It offers no useful services, and so you should not postpone its elimination for another moment.
