This means that this potentially unwanted program acts as a browser hijacker.

Trojan.Lockscreen.OJ is a serious infection that might enter your system without permission. As it acts like a ransomware infection, it will lock your screen and you will not be able to access any of you files. You will also see a warning message saying that “Your Computer Has Been Locked” on your screen. Research has shown that such infections usually manage to enter those computers which are unprotected, i.e. there are no security tools installed on them. Make sure that you take care of your system’s safety after the removal of Trojan.Lockscreen.OJ because there are hundreds of similar infections (e.g. ScreenLocker, Lockscreen, Cryptolocker.S, and others) on the Internet. Unlike Trojan.Lockscreen.OJ, they really encrypt files. In other words they are all locked up and you cannot access them. Read more »
