Suddenly Yoursearching.com took over your homepage and you cannot remove it.
In case Yoursearching.com’s presence on your computer left you baffled, you’re reading the right article. We have tried to answer the most frequently asked questions about this tricky program and if you aren’t quite familiar with cyber infections, keep on reading. Yoursearching.com is a typical browser hijacker so if you learn how to protect yourself from this parasite in the future, it’s safe to say you have all hijackers covered. According to its official website, Yoursearching.com is a perfectly legitimate program that allows you to find “more relevant and comprehensive results every time you search”. If this promise made you think that Yoursearching.com is a dreamy search engine, your might want to rethink that because it is a nothing but a sneaky and delusive cyber parasite. It cannot be beneficial for you, it cannot enhance your browsing experience and the sooner you manage to delete it, the better. After successful installation, the parasite goes straight after your browsers (yes, all of them) and modifies their settings without bothering to search for any kind of permission or authorization first. Prepare to have both your browser homepage and default search engine replaced by Yoursearching.com’s unreliable domain because this program was designed to redirect you. Why? Because this is how its creators gain profit which is the parasite’s ultimate goal. After your browsers have been infected, the hijacker simply proceeds to manipulating you. Remember those “relevant and comprehensive results” you were promised? They are all sponsored web links leading to questionable websites and some of them could be very dangerous. Clicking the wrong link simply because you believed this program’s bogus functionalities would be a crucial mistake so as you can clearly see, the odds aren’t in your favor. All search results are modified and everything you currently see on your PC screen is there because hackers want it to be. Apart from malicious web links (which may include corrupted discounts, fake deals and coupons, etc.), the hijacker also sneakily monitors your browsing-related activities. That means if you’re particularly unlucky, cyber crooks will get access to your private (and also very sensitive) information including your banking account. As you can see, in this particular situation hackers’ revenue comes entirely as your expense so don’t hesitate when you should be taking action. This parasite’s devious presence also slows down the PC speed till your machine is practically unusable so you truly have to reason to keep Yoursearching.com on board. However, you do have quite a lot of reasons to remove it.
How did I get infected with?
If you have the habit of downloading questionable programs from equally questionable websites, you should know that the most popular infiltration method at the moment is bundled freeware/shareware. Therefore, to avoid virus distribution and protect your cyber security, make sure you opt for the custom or advanced option in the Setup Wizard. Yes, this will be more time-consuming that simply clicking the “I agree” button but rushing the installation process exposes you to numerous threats. Keep in mind that hijackers aren’t the only kind of parasites that travels the Web bundled; you could effectively infect your machine with a rich variety of viruses. You see, you can’t afford even a single moment of negligence when dealing with software because hackers will take advantage of your distraction and will drag you into trouble. Don’t underestimate any danger that you might come across online and don’t allow crooks to trick you. Instead, take care of your own safety and take your time when downloading freeware bundles. Also, avoid third-party web links, spam messages and spam email-attachments as they could also be corrupted and lead you to infections.
Why is this dangerous?
As we mentioned, Yoursearching.com is not the reliable search engine that it was advertised as. This thing works through a malicious browser extension that the parasite adds to Mozilla Firefox, Google Chrome and Internet Explorer. After it takes down all your browsers, this nasty redirect virus take complete control over your Internet experience. You can no longer trust ANYTHING on your PC screen including search results, ads, software updates, etc. because they are all sponsored and possibly corrupted. However, except for being extremely dangerous (as well as useless), all web links generated by the hijacker are also intrusive, stubborn and very difficult to remove. The only way to get rid of them is by deleting the Yoursearching.com parasite first. Remember, this pest aims for generating web traffic and hackers really don’t care about your security in the process. What matter is their money so as long as they receive their dubious revenue, you will be constantly exposed to danger. The question here is, why are you still tolerating something that cannot be trusted by default? Knowing that Yoursearching.com also steals IP addresses, email addresses, passwords, usernames, your browsing history and search queries, you should really not put up with its shenanigans any longer. Since the moment this nuisance of a program invades your computer system till the moment your patience runs out and you remove it, Yoursearching.com has absolutely nothing beneficial to offer. In order to uninstall it manually, please follow the detailed removal guide you will find down below.
