Sports Robot browser hijacker (Improved Guide)

From 2-spyware.com

Sports Robot is a browser hijacker that changes default settings like the homepage, new tab address, and search engine to sportrobot.info. Its creators intend to impose the use of specific browsing channels in order to generate revenue through PPC advertising and data collection.

This browser extension provides no unique benefits to users and is solely designed to profit fraudsters. While their machine is affected, users may notice an increase in commercial content as well as pop-ups, banners, and surveys. This app may also direct users to unsafe websites, where they may be tricked into disclosing personal information or downloading PUPs and malware.
