ChromeStart.info virus - How to remove

When your preferred application for browsing fully launches, you should pay attention to the websites that are opened as your home, default search provider and new tab pages. For the most part, if user has not individually selected domains to be in these positions, the witnessed pages are going to be automatically arranged by the browser you utilize. For example, Chrome browser usually opens Google page, and Mozilla Firefox frequently displays a page with shortcuts, transferring to domains that you regularly visit.
