What is Video Tile?

The Malwarebytes research team has determined that Video Tile is a browser hijacker. These so-called "hijackers" manipulate your browser(s), for example to change your startpage or searchscopes, so that the affected browser visits their site or one of their choice. This one also displays advertisements.

How do I know if my computer is effected by Video Tile?

This is how the first screen of the installer looks:

How did Video Tile get on my computer?

Browser hijackers use different methods for distributing themselves. This particular one was bundled with other software.
