Vizvaz.com - How to remove

Vizvaz.com is a browser hijacker that replaces your default search engine with its own, offering Web, Images, News, Local, QnA or Your Choice search modules. Your home page and new tab page might also be affected and you might get redirected to the sites this browser hijacker promotes, for example, wwwnt.vizvaz.com.

Even though Vizvaz.com might seem like a virus because it gets into computer without its user’s permission, makes undesired modifications to browser settings that cannot be that easily reversed and causes advertisements to be displayed, it is not a malware. Most of computer security tools will not detect it and removing Vizvaz.com manually is very complicated. Yet besides being an annoying application, it also increases a risk of your PC getting infected with Trojans and other threats. For example, you might click on a malicious add, the amount of which increases substantially after Vizvaz.com is installed. Another source of infection is the search results themselves. Promoted links are usually mixed among them without marking the latter any different therefore you might click on a compromised link instead of the one you need for your query.
