Browser hijackers - Page 22 category archyve:

A new search engine Safesearch.top set on browsers out of the blue can mean only one thing – there is a browser hijacker on the system. Users usually do not notice how these threats enter their systems because they travel bundled, so we are not surprised at all that you cannot explain why you see Safesearch.top each time you open your Internet Explorer/Mozilla Firefox/Google Chrome as well. This web page is made to look like a legitimate search provider, but it is surely not trustworthy even though the interface it has suggests differently. Since it is not a search tool that can be trusted, we suggest removing Safesearch.top from browsers as soon as possible. When it is no longer set as your homepage/default search tool, you could set a new page you like as your homepage and default search provider. If you still cannot understand why the search provider you see set on your browsers is untrustworthy, you should read the next paragraph of this article too – you will find all its drawbacks listed there. If you arrive at a final decision to eliminate it, you should read the last paragraph carefully too because it contains all the information you need to know about its removal. Read more »

It looks harmless, we have to admit, and it is not malicious for sure; however, replacing it with a more trustworthy search provider would be a smart step, especially if you have nothing to do with its appearance on your browsers.

If you see a change in your home page when you open your browsers, it is possible that you have been infected with Boxedsearch.com Redirect. This browser hijacker can appear in your browsers without your noticing it or remembering how you installed it. This is due to the fact that this search engine is promoted and spread in questionable ways. Our malware specialists at anti-spyware-101.com have found that this is not the only hijacker of its kind as it is practically identical to another hijacker that has also appeared only recently called Strixchase.com.

Of course, this could be fixed any time soon, so we can assume that it can present to you potentially risky search results just like its sibling. Since this browser hijacker may not be the only one that has entered your system recently, your PC could be under attack by several threats and this also means that you could be exposed to an increased number of malicious web content. If you would like to defend your computer from total failure to operate, we believe that it is important that you remove Boxedsearch.com Redirect and all other threats you may find on your system.

Home.searchfreehoroscope.com is a page users find set on their Internet Explorer, Google Chrome, and Mozilla Firefox browsers after installing the extension called Search Free Horoscope New Tab.
