What is Clickforms.ru?

Clickforms.ru is an irritating browser hijacker that needs to be removed from browsers immediately. Unfortunately, it will affect all of them, so you will not be able to run away from it easily too. Unlike other browser hijackers, Clickforms.ru not only installs extensions to appear on browsers, but also creates its own files once it enters the system. Therefore, we believe that it will affect your browser again even if you reinstall it. The only solution to the problem is to fully remove a browser hijacker from the system. You need to hurry to do that not only to be able to set another website as your homepage, but also to ensure the system’s safety. As Clickforms.ru creates its own files on the system and makes other changes (we will tell you more about them further in this article), it will not be easy to get rid of this threat; however, we are sure that it will be clearer for you how to remove this browser hijacker after you read our article.

What does Clickforms.ru do?

Clickforms.ru is a typical browser hijacker that hijacks browsers. Once it does that, you will see its presence every time you launch your browser. In fact, you will not see any search tool when you open your browser because it does not try to pretend a useful search engine like other browser hijackers, including Instabsearch.com, Pico-search.com, and Trustedsurf.com. Instead of having a single permanent interface, Clickforms.ru causes redirections to third-party websites, usually pages containing advertisements, so the content that you will see on the start page will change. For example, you might see an advertisement offering to buy a particular item one day, whereas the other a commercial offering you to download a free application will be shown for you. Do not trust these ads even though they seem to be quite trustworthy at first glance because you might end up on a website with malicious software, or you might simply start the download of some kind of undesirable software by clicking on a single advertisement. According to specialists working at anti-spyware-101.com, this browser hijacker might also be a threat to your privacy because it is going to record information about users’ browsing habits. Websites it will take you to might do the same, so you might really experience problems associated with your privacy if you let Clickforms.ru stay.

As we have already mentioned, it will not be very easy to delete Clickforms.ru browser hijacker from all the browsers because it, first of all, modifies the shortcuts of all the browsers it finds installed. It does that by adding the new line “http://n.clickforms.ru/c/1a30e417c259f275?” next to the original path, e.g. "C:\Program Files (x86)\Google" "http://n.clickforms.ru/c/1a30e417c259f275?" (Google Chrome), "C:\iexplore.bat" "http://n.clickforms.ru/c/1a30e417c259f275?" (Internet Explorer), and "C:\firefox.bat" "http://n.clickforms.ru/c/1a30e417c259f275?" (Mozilla Firefox). If you do not fix the shortcuts and try to erase Clickforms.ru browser hijacker, you will notice that this infection revives in the blink of an eye. Also, it will not be very easy to get rid of it because it creates files in %Homedrive% and %PROGRAMFILES% (%PROGRAMFILES(x86)%) directories. Do not worry; we are going to help you.

Where does Clickforms.ru come from?

Even though Clickforms.ru slightly differs from other browser hijackers that are popular these days, it does not mean that it is distributed somehow differently. Researchers have found that it usually travels in software bundles. Of course, it does not travel alone. It has been noticed that its companions are various free applications that are promoted on unreliable file-sharing and torrent websites. You should not download software from questionable sites if you do not wish to cause harm to your PC again. In addition, security specialists say that it is very important to install security software. Activate and keep it this way 24/7 if you doubt you can protect your computer alone.
