Classified as a browser hijacker, the troublesome parasite starts wreaking havoc immediately after installation. Now, how familiar are you with the way hijackers work? As the name implies, they hijack browsers.

Unfortunately, Joomborio.com is no exception. This program constantly causes you damage while lying to your face. Quite unfair, don’t you think? By pretending to be a legitimate online tool, the hijacker is trying to spend more time on board. And if you do get tricked into keeping Joomborio.com, you’ll deeply regret that decision.
