If you use Google Chrome, you need to be cautious about Search.hdigitalcointracker.net. This is a browser hijacker that comes packaged with the Digital Coin Tracker extension. Both the hijacker and the unwanted extension – which we classify as a potentially unwanted program (PUP) – were created by Polarity Technologies Ltd.
