The Funnysiting.com Browser Hijacker is a browser hijacker that changes the home page of your installed browsers to www.Funnysiting.com. It does this by replacing your normal shortcuts with shortcuts that point to batch files stored in the %AppData% folder. These shortcuts will then start the selected browser to the Funnysiting.com homepage.
When this browser hijacker is installed it will create batch files for your installed browsers in the %AppData% folder. For example, if Chrome is installed it will create the C:\ProgramData\Google Chrome.lnk.batfile and if you have Firefox installed it will create C:\ProgramData\Mozilla Firefox.lnk.bat. It will then replace the browser shortcuts on your desktop to point at these batch files. The batch files will then open the browser so that it automatically goes to Funnysiting.com.
How did the www.Funnysiting.com hijacker get on my computer?
This program is installed via downloaders found on video and file sharing sites. These sites will offer free videos or downloads, but in reality install the Funnysiting.com hijacker on your computer. Therefore, it is important that you pay attention to the license agreements and installation screens when installing anything off of the Internet. If an installation screen offers you Custom or Advanced installation options, it is a good idea to select these as they will typically disclose what other 3rd party software will also be installed. Furthermore, If the license agreement or installation screens state that they are going to install a toolbar or other unwanted adware, it is advised that you cancel the install and not use the free software.
In my opinion, the www.Funnysiting.com browser hijacker was purposely created to make it difficult to remove so that you continue to utilize their home page. In my opinion, you should uninstall this program if you discover the symptoms listed above so that your computer and browsers can run properly again.
