What is 0123movies.com?
If you are sneakily trying to watch movies or TV shows for free, 0123movies.com is one of the sites you might come across. Just like most of its kind, this website floods the screen with advertisements the moment the visitor clicks on certain buttons or, in some cases, anywhere on the screen. Thousands of users are looking for free movies and TV series every moment all over the world, and where there’s demand – there’s supply. Needless to say, both parties – the one making the content available and the one viewing it – are in breach of copyright laws. It takes millions of dollars to make movies and TV series, but not everyone is willing to pay for the movie ticket or for cable or streaming services to get access in a legitimate way. We could discuss how disgusting the action is at length, but that is not what we want to focus on in this report. Our main goal is to help you delete 0123movies.com hijacker because it can put your security at risk! If it has not hijacked your browser, you need to clear browsing data anyway because cookies might be employed to spy on you and even transmit information about you.

How does 0123movies.com work?
0123movies.com is not a unique website. It fact, there are plenty of analogous websites that work in the same way, and you can apply the information and tips provided in this report to all of them. These websites are always offering free movie and TV show streaming services, but, in return, they flood you with ads that might promote services, products, installers, surveys, etc. Most users just close the windows and pop-ups promoting the ads, but that does not make the experience much safer. Of course, if you interact with the ads that 0123movies.com shows, you are in much bigger trouble because, for example, you could be exposed to malware, and your personal information could be leaked to malicious parties. That being said, any kind of interaction with ads – even if you just click the X to close it – can lead to the utilization of web cookies and other kinds of data-tracking technologies. If you do not delete them, your browsing history, interaction with ads, information about the browser, IP address, and other kinds of data could be shared with all kinds of parties. This could put your virtual identity and safety at risk.
The funny thing about 0123movies.com is that it claims to offers an ad-free service. When you visit the website first, you should not see ads right away, but if you start using the search engine, click buttons, and interact with the site in any other way, you should be flooded with ads right away. Are these ads harmless? As we discussed already, they could expose you to all kinds of services, products, installers, and surveys. Since there is no privacy policy that would support 0123movies.com and discuss the advertisers it works with, there is no way of knowing what kind of content could be shown to you. We fear that you could be exposed to malware installers, fake services/products, and scams. So, if you do not want to worry about the removal of other threats, you do not want to be tricked into giving up personal information, and you do not want to be scammed when paying for bogus products or services online, you need to get rid of the hijacker. Do not forget that if you were just redirected to the website, you still need to delete data trackers.
