Remove Dregol.com from Chrome/Firefox/IE

Suddenly Dregol.com took over your homepage and you cannot remove it.

Dregol.com is categorized as a browser hijacker. If you suddenly find your default homepage and search engine replaced with Dregol.com and you have no memory approving such a switch, you must have been infected by the malicious, intrusive, and harmful tool. That’s one sure way to determine whether or not you’re dealing with one. Other indicators include experiencing a bombardment of pop-up ads every time you attempt to browse the web. Also, being continuously surprised with changes you have not permitted, but are not stuck with. You will be plagued by frequent system crashes and a slower PC performance, as well. What’s more, the application spies on you and steal your personal and financial information. And, that’s just a fraction of the troubles you’ll be forced to deal with, courtesy of Dregol.com. If you wish to avoid finding out the other issues, first-hand, be sure to delete the malevolent tool as soon as you first realize it has latched onto your system. Dregol.com will not help you. It will only harm you. Delete it at once, and protect yourself and your computer.

How did I get infected with?

Dregol.com slithers its way to your computer by means of deception and finesse. It’s so masterful in the arts of deceit that it not only dupes you into permitting its installation, but it does so without you even realizing it. That’s right. The tool keeps you utterly oblivious to the fact that you allowed a dangerous computer infection to invade your PC. More often than not, the hijacker sneaks in by hitching a ride with freeware or by hiding behind spam email attachments, corrupted links, or websites. Freeware, in particular, provides possibly the easiest access point because most users are not nearly as attentive as they should be during its install. They rush the whole process and agree to everything without reading it first. Not familiarizing yourself with the terms and conditions, but still choose to agree to them, is a poor decision. One you’ll regret taking. The hijacker can also infiltrate your system by pretending to be a bogus system or program update. So, while you’re thinking that you’re updating your Java or Adobe Flash Player, in reality, you’re giving the green light to Dregol.com. Don’t leave everything to chance! Pay more attention and remember that haste, naivety, and distraction are not your friends! If you do, maybe you won’t get stuck with this hazardous, harmful tool.

Why is this dangerous?

Dregol.com is an extremely dangerous infection. That’s because, once it’s in, the application is no longer bound to seek your approval before implementing changes. That’s right. The hijacker can perform all the changes it so desires, and there’s nothing you can do about it. Aside from just accept that you’re now stuck with them. For example, if the tool chooses to, it can easily install more malware on your computer or, at the very least, reshuffle your settings and block you from accessing your favorite websites. What a “wonderful” surprise it would be to turn off your PC and find out you have five more malicious programs causing you grief, and you can’t access your favorite social network page. As was already mentioned, the hijacker displays adware’s most vexatious and infuriating trait – the pop-ups. Every time you open your browser, you’re greeted by a pop-up ad. Know that these ads have a purpose. In order for Dregol.com to continue its operations, it has to generate web traffic and produce pay-per-click revenue for the third parties who support it. And that’s its purpose – to deceive you into clicking on its unreliable ads. Do NOT fall for the program’s trickery and ignore the ads no matter how enticing they seem! If you click just once, by choice or accident, on one single ad, all you’ll have to show for it is more malware. Add to these issues, the grave security risk the hijacker places upon you, and it’s quite evident that it’s not worth holding onto it. Delete Dregol.com now! Don’t risk your personal and financial details falling into the hands of wicked strangers with malevolent agendas!
