People are used to taking anything that’s causing unpleasant scenarios as virus. As a matter of fact, en.v9.com (that is commonly known as v9 portal site) is a browser hijacker categorized as PUP (potentially unwanted program). If one pays attention to the changes on the Internet, one would notice that items like v9 portal site and ads started to flood in the Internet when PC users develop more dependence on it as they simply serve to promote product.
What Does V9 Portal Site Do?
By hijacking a computer/browser, en.v9.com manages to intercept the traffic constantly to help itself get more popular, allocate traffic to where its maker desires and attract more potential business when other online operators want promote their products rapidly. Though the below scenarios are not the ultimate goals of the browser hijacker, they are incurred when v9 portal site is working to drive business:
- Homepage and search engine seem to be permanently replaced by en.v9.com.
- Some new tabs will be redirected back to v9 portal site.
- Additional web applications might be detected to install on the harassed machine without knowledge and permission, such as key-find.com.

En.v9.com Can Be Potentially Dangerous
If one keeps updating knowledge on computer threats and the similar ones by accessing VilmaTech’s Sharing Knowledge, one would have known that BHO and JS techniques are commonly seen in building a normal web page; by adding in some slight modifications, the two techniques would combine together to help the browser hijacker to load into startup section and keep the computer constantly querying for en.v9.com.
What’s worse, due to the fact that it is extremely easy to make another browser hijacker like this, en.v9.com is not strictly built and thus bug can be readily taken advantage by any infection that finds it. Once v9 portal site is captured by virus, BHO and JS techniques will be utilized to:
- Preload vicious codes into system configuration for easy infiltration.
- Record any in-put information, especially log-in confidential to accomplish identity theft.
Since v9 portal site is not technically a virus, anti-virus program will not help take it down. Below is the instruction offered by Global PC Support Center. Should you have any question in the middle of the removal, please welcome to start a live chat for instant answer and assistance.
