MyAllSearch.com virus - How to remove

MyAllSearch.com virus

MyAllSearch.com virus is a browser hijacker that secretly infiltrates into Internet Explorer, Mozilla Firefox or Google Chrome and replaces your default search provider. From that time, whenever you make a search on your browser, you will see all commercial results, including various ads. The only way to stop it is to remove MyAllSearch.com virus from your system

If you are wondering how this application has infiltrated into your computer, most likely, it happened when you were downloading some free utility from the Internet. If you want to avoid other hijackers in the future, you should follow the installation steps of your new tools more carefully. If you see any options suggesting you change your homepage or search provider, make sure you deselect them. Also, it is not recommended to add any additional programs that come bundled to freeware. Read Terms and Agreements if you want to detect them and never accept downloading them.

As already mentioned, once a browser is hijacked, MyAllSearch.com is set as the default search provider. It is also used as your homepage, despite what your preferences were before. The program never asks for permission to make these modifications and it doesn’t allow changing the websites back. MyAllSearch.com virus gets paid for increasing traffic of certain pages and this is the main reason why it takes over your search results. It is recommended to remove MyAllSearch.com virus from your system, as soon as you detect it on your computer.

At first, go to Control Panel, Add/Remove programs list and uninstall it from there. Some versions of this hijacker install software that blocks browser settings from changing. To identify them, scanning with Spyhunter or other reputable antispyware tool might be useful. Then you can uninstall the extensions and reset settings in your browsers.
