Findeitor.com virus - How to remove

Findeitor browser extension is available in Chrome Web Store, but knowing the fact that the add-on has been available at least since the winter of 2015, we feel puzzled why a convenient tool would only receive 42 clients over the years.

However, this number could only apply to those users that downloaded the extension from Chrome store. Currently, the Findeitor.com.com, the website that functioned as a search platform, is no longer fully accessible. As it appears, this platform for searching had obtained some dominance in Peru, Chile and Mexico, since surfers from these countries brought in the biggest streams of web traffic.

We have found no explanations why Findeitor.com does not launch as it used to. According to details that we found, the site should have not expired until December of 2017. Surprisingly, the browser extension is still available in Chrome Web Store.

If you decide to install it, the tool will require these permissions: to read users’ browsing history, to change browsers’ home pages and default search settings. If you download this add-on, modifications will still be applied but they will transfer you to a page that displays weird content, containing “Related Links” and a search box, allowing you to look for ads.

About the former version of Findeitor.com virus

If you try making a search using Findeitor.com, you will see that it does not provide any reliable search results. The program only tries to promote various sponsored websites and lists them in your search results even if they do not match your search query. You will also notice a lot of ads. We really do not recommend to continue browsing using Findeitor.com, as it can easily redirect you to malicious websites where you may get your system infected.

The worst part about this page is that once it is set as your homepage, it is not that easy to replace it with other websites. It blocks nay other search providers as long as it’s in your browser. The creators of Findeitor.com virus are getting paid for promoting various pages, so now you know why this program is so intrusive. The only way to stop this and be able to browse regularly again is by removing Findeitor.com virus from your system.
