Do you know what Flipora Hijacker is?
Flipora Hijacker refers to a website flipora.com which can become your home page after clicking on suspicious advertisements while browsing the internet or once you launch the installer of the add-on of Flipora. The plug-in is said to help you access websites which are visited by your Facebook friends or other people who may have interests similar to yours.
Flipora Hijacker changes your home page after you log in to Flipora via email or Facebook and download Flipora add-on. Consequently, instead of your home page you will have static.flopora.com which will provide you with suspicious search results and advertisements. Below the address box of the browser you will find that some additional buttons are installed. For example, if you click on Web History on your Internet Explorer, you will be directed to feedshare.flipora.com where you will be able to look at the website you have browsed. You will see that Flipora automatically saves the web pages you are interested in. When you click on the button which is next to Web History, you will access the same feedshare.flipora.com where different websites selected by your friends are presented. At the top of the page you will see what other people on Facebook like, and this is how you are supposed to have fun on the Internet.
