Start.mysearchs.com virus - How to remove

Start.mysearchs.com virus is another browser hijacker that can infiltrate into Internet Explorer, Mozilla Firefox or Google Chrome. It works identically to Delta Search, HoistSearch.com and some other browser hijackers. The program was developed by Babylon Ltd. Start.mysearchs.com virus is usually installed to computers when users download free programs from the Internet. It may come together with free players, PDF creators and similar programs without properly warning computer users about changing their homepage to Start.mysearchs.com. In order to avoid getting your PC infected with this annoying tool you should always choose a Custom installation and make sure you don’t allow adding any unknown programs or making changes in your browser settings.

 

 

 

 

 

Once inside, the program modifies your browser settings without your permission. First of all, Start.mysearchs.com replaces your homepage and default search provider. Then it tends to change your search results and redirect you to commercial or, in some cases, even malicious websites. If you try to make a search using Start.mysearchs.com, you will see that your search results will be clearly based on sponsored websites. In fact the program tries to promote these pages and build up a bigger traffic for them.

What is more, Start.mysearchs.com virus can track some of your personal information. Here is what it claims in its Privacy Statement:

We gather certain information such as internet protocol (IP) addresses, browser user agent, referring page, date/time stamp and cookies and web beacons automatically. We use such information to analyze trends, to administer the site, to track users’ movements around the site and to gather demographic information to better provide our services and to facilitate and measure the effectiveness of advertisement and web searches.

In addition, it can follow what websites you are visiting and collect data about your search queries. In the worst scenario, it can pass this data to third parties, and you can be successfully involved into various marketing related projects. It is not a fair method to gather information and most of the users are not aware of possible consequences of using Start.mysearchs.com search engine.

It is strongly recommended to remove Start.mysearchs.com virus as soon as you detect it on your system. Go to Control Panel, Add/Remove programs list and uninstall anything related to this domain from there. Some versions of this hijacker add software that blocks browser settings from changing. To identify it, scanning with or other reputable antispyware tool might be useful. Then you can uninstall the extensions and reset settings in your browsers.
