Is there ever going to be an antivirus?

[Mojó]

The browser itself should be secured against hijacks, some are- some aren't. Some people allow browser hijacks by installing extensions, and toolbars that are already or eventually become vulnerable to hijacks. Most anti-virus/antimalware do already protect against some malwares that introduce browser hijackers, but as I said- some people unwittingly opt to have them. More on that here: http://www.comodo.com/home/browsers-tool...rowser.php There are other flavors of Chromium out there, some emphasize on security, others on social media, torrents, etc. The BEST way to prevent hijacks is to educate yourself in that specific area of internet security.
