What is Fissa.com?
Fissa is yet another browser hijacker which modifies your internet browser without your permission and makes it a hassle to get rid of. Once installed, Fissa sets fissa.com as your home page and redirects all searches through this website. In addition, it will display advertisements that you would not see otherwise.
Hijackers like Fissa.com usually come bundled with many free programs found online. While the programs themselves can be completely legitimate, the bundled apps or add-ons are usually classified as potentially unwanted programs (PUP). They use aggressive advertisements and annoying pop-ups to convert computer users into customers. The sites such ads lead to are usually of questionable quality and may bring viruses and other malware into your computer.
Fissa is known to affect most popular browsers such as Google Chrome, Mozilla Firefox and Internet Explorer. We highly recommend that you get rid of Fissa.com as soon as possible to keep your personal data safe as well as restore your PC’s performance.
