how can i protect a p.c. from hi jacking??

Hello my name is Jack 2 i am a newby on the forum.
I started off my pc hobby a couple off month.s ago.
sinds than i made some progress and i build and repair p.c.s.
but my knowlegde is limitted.
I can putt o.s.on p.c.s but i have no answer to hyjacks on my p.c.s.
in one case where the internet connection was established with a modem 56k the hy jack totally altered the browser settings and rerouted this user on such a base that he was unabelled to get a connection on the internet without using the hy jack browser.
It totally frustrated me and in my attemps to remove the hyjacker i messed up the whole o.s. off the p.c.
After putting in loads off labour i could repair the mess but this freaked my out .
Now i am desperatly seeking a tool to keep hi jackers out off my p.c. maybe u have a sollution for my problems.
With regards Jack 2

 

Hi Jack.

Welcome to Wilders.

Unfortunately there is no tool to stop hijackers, just prevention.

Take a look at this for starters,
