BackService
Summary
BackService is an intrusive program that can negatively impact users browsing experience by taking over their browsenew tab page, homepage and search engine. Browser hijackers and PUPs also may collect sensitive user data, such as login credentials and credit card information, which can be used for identity theft and financial fraud. Overall, the privacy risks associated with browser hijackers and PUPs highlight the importance of taking steps to prevent their installation and removing them promptly if detected. Another tactic is disguising PUPs as useful programs that appear to provide some kind of benefit, such as system optimization or security software. In all of these cases, the distribution of PUPs is often done in a way that exploits users trust and lack of knowledge and can result in serious privacy and security risks if not detected and removed.
