About Loadstart.net virus

No user would wish to have his/hers browsers’ settings rearranged without any warnings. Browser hijackers have a sneaky nature and they have very little interest in asking questions. It is easier to ask for forgiveness than permission, right? That is why Loadstart.net virus does the things and modifications it pleases and does not worry about how the infected victim is going to evaluate these changes. In fact, it won’t even allow you to do anything about the executed alterations to your browsers’ preferences. Home pages, default search providers and new tab pages are occupied by Loadstart.net virus until you appropriately address this issue. Making changes to the settings via your browsers won’t stick: hijacker will manage to force its domain up to you again.
