Many users may mistake Otheacontail.xyz for some sort of a computer threat because the hijacker may get a bit too aggressive in its attempts to promote all of its sponsored components, tools, ads and sites. It may change the main homepage or search engine and replace them with third-party ones without asking for your permission and may even start to automatically redirect your searches to some sketchy offers or unreliably looking platforms. From a legal point of view, this activity does not qualify as intentionally harmful or criminal. On the other hand, any interaction with these random ads, pop-ups and messages that the hijacker may prompt you to click on is entirely at your own risk because you can never be sure where those links may redirect you to and what content you may get exposed to.
