How does 123rede.com work?
Needless to say, computer users would not install 123rede.com themselves if they knew how difficult it was to delete this browser hijacker. Unfortunately, in many cases computer users are tricked into downloading this devious infection. Of course, we would not call this search tool a browser hijacker if it did not have the ability to take over the browsers without permission as well.

The software installed with 123rede.com might require removal; so if you have discovered the hijacker, the first thing you must do is scan your PC. The clones of 123rede.com, including gamegogle.com and jogostempo.com, could be packaged with malware as well. Note that these browser hijackers also need to be deleted from browsers.
Once installed, 123rede.com changes the home page and introduces users to banner advertisements and links to various websites.

Of course, you should not trust these search results or, for that matter, any other services that the hijacker introduces you to.
