Inspiratiooo.com virus - How to remove

Inspiratiooo.com (or Inspiratiooo) virus is classified as a browser hijacker, changing your browsers’ settings and setting this search engine as users’ home page, new tab page and default search provider. It is made by Aztec Media Inc. company which we have heard about multiple times. In fact, we have previously written articles about their other rogue browser extensions and search engines: Easyziptab.com, Slikdealer.com and 4newtab.com. Most of their add-ons are available in Google Chrome Web Store, but this does not mean that the toolbar can be described as reliable replacement for Google or Bing.

Inspiratiooo.com virus will alter your home page, default search provider and new tab page

According to the web traffic Inspiratiooo.com virus receives, it is the most active in India, United Kingdom, France, Italy and Egypt. However, people from other regions might also be infected with this browser hijacker. It is not that difficult to notice this infection as its main page clearly differs from the other search engines you might have been using (8 Signs Your Browser Has Been Hijacked). Nevertheless, some people might not pay attention to this unauthorized change as they still receive results from Google. Similar deceptive strategies have been noticed in other browser hijackers from Aztec Media: Searchprotector.net and Search.linkeymac.com.

The thing to realize is that the controllers of this search engine will append sponsored content into the results to search queries. Some of these promoted websites might be rogue, offer low-quality services or are simply no match to domains that are officially promoted by credible platforms. By entering the websites of Inspiratiooo.com virus partners, you might be compromising your security: revealing your credentials, personal information or simply allowing shady advertisers to implant cookies (Malware Damage).

Having Inspiratiooo.com virus in your computer will not improve your browsing: it can only pose as a threat. It can collect information about you and send it to its partners like advertisers. Knowing your bookmarks, browsing habits and other preferences will help ad-servers tempt you with all sorts of content. However, there is no way of checking whether the partners of Inspiratiooo.com hijacker are not creating online advertisements for the sole purpose of tricking users or infecting their computers with rogue software (Malvertising). You might be introduced to some clearly malicious pop-ups as well, like Winmanager.online or Go.mobifoth.com.

Knowing that Aztec Media has produced so many browser hijackers like Search.smartmediatabsearch.com or Search.powermediatabsearch.com should discourage you from using their software. Inspiratiooo.com virus is another rogue platform for searching which is expected to bring profit from pay-per-click schemes and other agreements they might have. By installing the Inspiratiooo plugin, you are allowing this add-on to change content on all of the websites you visit and to track your geo-location.
