OuiSys Redirect Activity Report
OuiSys is just another unwanted software that hijacks computer systems and browsers to generate revenue for fraudsters. Other recently seen PUP and sites pushed by PUP are OpenBook and Total Top Feed.
Apps like OuiSys often take advantage of software bundling for their distribution. So, probably, OuiSys could have obtained access to your browser by some files that infiltrated your PC. The last seemingly useful software you have installed or the pop-up that asked you to update an existing app might have let an unwanted app run on the device as well.
Once OuiSys runs on your device, it may begin to alter settings which in turn results in different types of performance and security problems.
The unwanted software may also be set to activate tracking technologies like pixels, web beacons, geo-locators, cookies, etc. Such trackers may be utilized to obtain the following details from the affected browser and PC:
- The sites you have bookmarked.
- Your search history.
- Last pages you have visited.
- History of your browsed pages.
- The mouse movements and click history.
At worst, the presence of OuiSys on the machine will let it present you with dangerous websites that support phishing, rogue apps distribution, malware propagation, and online scams.
Since OuiSys is believed to be potentially unwanted, it should be removed from your device as soon as possible.
