The suspicious hijacker is closely linked to search.b00kmarks.com by Populis ltd. Fissa.com may redirect you to this or a different third-party search engine. Either way, it is most likely to present sponsored search results, and clicking on these links is not recommended. You also should stay away from the third-party advertisements which may be presented on the start page of Fissa.com itself. If the displayed ads offer bundled installers and you activate them, you may need to remove more unreliable apps than you can count. To avoid this risk, you should remove the search provider designed by Aedge Performance. If you believe it has been installed without permission, make sure to inspect the system right away. Other programs that deserve removal may have been installed alongside the hijacker.
