What is PortalDoSites?

If you see portaldosites.com popping up whenever you launch your browser, your computer is infected with PortalDoSites virus. Considered as a browser hijacker, it replaces the home page and search engine to portaldosites.com.

PortalDoSites installs into your computer through various freeware and shareware applications, where an option to install the browser add-on is set as default. App developers usually monetize their free apps by injecting a third party advertising add-on into the installation package. Most users don't notice that they'll get an unwanted add-on upon installing their desired program.

We highly recommend that you remove PortalDoSites from your browsers and computer as soon as possible.
