How does atajitos.com work?
Even though atajitos.com is not the search engine that would replace the regular home page or default search tools, br.atajitos.com is identified as the active infection. First of all, you will need to remove the URL of this Brazilian hijacker from the affected browser’s Target. Secondly, you will need to remove it as the dominating search tool on your browsers. Keep in mind that atajitos.com may be replaced by istsearch.com, atajositios.com, iyi123.com, or any other clones. Anti-Spyware-101.com researchers list these search tools as clones because they are represented with the same interface and they share the same Privacy Policy. Unfortunately, some computer users do not rush to delete atajitos.com or remove the clones because they find links to Facebook, YouTube, Twitter, and other popular sites useful. Even if they are useful, you cannot identify atajitos.com banner adverts as beneficial. Media Player Updates, Download Manager Updates, and other similar suggestions may be offered to you. Do not click on these ads, or you will be ordered to run unreliable bundled installers. These may promote programs that you will need to delete as well.

It is necessary to delete the infections to get rid of the tracking cookies, disable questionable advertising, and to ensure that you web searches are secure at all times.
