Usually, these forced redirections are performed to generate advertising revenues or promote affiliated products and services. You might feel that browser hijackers are not much of a threat to your system, and there is no need to get scared of it. Browser Hijackers itself might not be a significant threat, but when it enters your system, it can bring other greater threats such as spyware, keyloggers, and other malware programs with it.
These malicious software can cause extensive damage to you and your system. Also, the webpages it promotes cannot be trusted. They might be filled with illegitimate and malicious content.
Once you know about it, removing the browser virus from your system should be your top priority. If Google is your default search engine, but every search query you type on it is redirected to Bing, then definitely a browser hijacker has compromised your system.
To stop Google redirects to Bing, you have to catch and remove the culprit browser hijacker, which is the root cause. Windows Safe Mode is the perfect environment to find out and solve the critical errors in the system. In safe mode, only system programs and some crucial programs run. Safe mode would most likely kill the applications and its files that try to run automatically on your system.
You might have accidentally installed a malicious browser web extension that is causing the redirects. If you have many web extensions installed in your Chrome browser, it is time to sort them out and at least disable, if not delete, the ones you rarely use.
However, you must remove the useless web extensions instead of disabling them. Because, even after disabling them, they might use the CPU processing power while checking for updates and performing updates. If the Bing redirection is still happening on your PC, try to find the culprit application and uninstall it.
Right-click on the taskbar and select the Task Manager. Watch out for the applications that are consuming the system memory even though you did not install or launch them. Right-click on the suspicious application and open its file location. Open Control Panel and click on Uninstall a program and check for suspicious apps. One by one, select and uninstall them.
The temporary files folder can also be a carrier of malicious files. You should delete all the temporary files and folders regularly for the smooth running of the system. Hi becky, - Does this issue occur with this particular site only?

In reply to Divya R's post on October 7, Any other ideas? Robert Aldwinckle on forums MVP. I have this same issue off and on. The error message shows on the screen for less than a second so I can barely read it. I just cleared my dns what ever that is and I cleared my cookies and such and it is still not working.
I even ran a malware scan. Still not working. Like I said, it doesn't always happen but mostly when I am trying to list items to sell. I am using windows 8. In reply to MandyHoffman's post on November 14, I jst restarted my computer and it is still not redirecting to ebay. IE has a security setting to prevent navigation to a site that is in a lower security zone I had eBay in my list of trusted sites and everything worked fine until about 2 days ago. Don't know what changed, but removing it from the trusted sites freed it up and made it work like normal again.
I didn't try the alternate option since the first one worked for me. Good luck to anyone else experiencing the same aggravation! In reply to HorsePlayStore's post on May 2, All public websites are designed to work with the default IE security zone - the Internet Microsoft Edge. This site in other languages x. When a user goes to a site that is incompatible with Internet Explorer, they will be automatically redirected to Microsoft Edge.
This article describes the user experience for redirection and the group policies that are used to configure or disable automatic redirection. Microsoft maintains a list of all sites that are known to be incompatible with Internet Explorer.
For more information, see Request updates to the incompatible sites list. On redirection to Microsoft Edge, users are shown the one-time dialog in the next screenshot. This dialog explains why they're getting redirected and prompts for consent to copy their browsing data and preferences from Internet Explorer to Microsoft Edge.
The following browsing data will be imported: Favorites, Passwords, Search engines, open tabs, History, settings, cookies, and the Home Page. Finally, a website incompatibility banner, shown in the next screenshot, appears below the address bar for every redirection.
After a redirection users can go back to using Internet Explorer for sites that are not on the Internet Explorer incompatibility list. Three group policies must be configured to enable automatic redirection to Microsoft Edge. These policies are:. If you're on a personal device that isn't managed by your organization, you'll see another setting named "Allow sites to be loaded in Internet Explorer mode" under Internet Explorer compatibility.
