What is Freychang.fun Browser Hijacker?
Freychang is the name of a domain and an associated browser hijacker. If you are experiencing frequent redirects that point to Freychang dot fun or some of your regular searches end up sending you there, you likely have this browser hijacker installed on your system.
If you try to open Freychang dot fun directly in your browser, you will discover that there is no website or meaningful content hosted there. In our testing, trying to directly access the site only brings up two strings of numbers. This is because the domain name is used for referrals and will show up with complex URL strings in your address bar.
If you have the browser hijacker associated with Freychang dot fun in your browser, you may also experience frequent ad pop-ups and redirects. This is the method that browser hijackers use to generate revenue for their owners and developers.
The issue with this is twofold. A lot of the time this sort of application is distributed in software bundles and is installed with the other content of the bundle, without sufficient disclosure of its presence and functionality. In addition to this, browser hijackers may source their ad content from rogue ad networks.
This means that the ads displayed may link to potentially unwanted programs, questionable content or other misleading pages. While this doesn't elevate browser hijackers to the same threat level as malware, it still means that their presence on your system may lead to further annoyances and expose you to potential harm.
