2netvl.ru is usually classified as a browser hijacker even though it has an appearance of an ordinary news website. According to specialists, it belongs to this category because it is set on users’ browsers without their permission. Also, apart from changing a homepage on Google Chrome, it seems that it is capable of performing other activities too. Users report that their browsers are opened automatically every 5-10 minutes with the URL http://2netvl.ru/obsorvia at the top. Then, the redirection to another suspicious domain, e.g. containing surveys and asking to complete them immediately happens.

Keeping such suspicious websites set on browsers might result in serious security-related problems because websites promoted by browser hijackers are, usually, completely untrustworthy. Sadly, the same can be said about 2netvl.ru. Read more »
