Remove I-Search.Us.com from Chrome/Firefox/IE

Suddenly I-Search.Us.com took over your homepage and you cannot remove it.

I-Search.Us.com is a malicious browser hijacker. It slithers its way into your system by means of deception and finesse, and once it’s in, starts causing all sorts of troubles. For one, it begins by replacing your default homepage and search engine with I-Search.Us.com. That’s only the first in a long line of changes. You can expect anything with a hijacker on your PC. Why? Well, because as soon as the tool gets you to permit its installation and settles in your system, it’s no longer required to seek your approval for anything else. Just think on that for a second. The hijacker can implement all sorts of reshuffles. It can do whatever it feels like doing, whenever it feels like doing it, and you’ll just have to deal with it. The repercussions for your system can be catastrophic. So, instead of allowing the hijacker to stay and mess up your system, be sure to delete it as soon as you first realize it has infected your PC. You’ll save yourself the time and energy of having to deal with a slower computer performance, frequent system crashes, malware threats, and a security risk. Get rid of I-Search.Us.com, so you won’t have to deal with it later.

How did I get infected with?

I-Search.Us.com relies on the old but gold methods of invasion in order to gain access to your system. The tool is so skilled in the arts of deceit that it not only dupes you into permitting it in, but also manages to keep you oblivious to the fact that you did. Its most preferred ways of infiltration include hitching a ride with freeware or hiding behind spam email attachments, corrupted links, or websites. However, more often than not, the hijacker pretend to be a bogus system or program update. For example, even though you might be convinced that you’re updating your Java or Adobe Flash Player, in reality, you’re giving the green light to I-Search.Us.com. If you wish to avoid getting stuck with a hijacker and having to deal with its never-ending daily messes, be sure to be more careful and not to rush! If you allow distraction, naivety, and haste to guide you, you shouldn’t be surprised when they lead you to regret. Remember that a little extra attention can save you a lot of headaches and troubles.

Why is this dangerous?

I-Search.Us.com is an extremely hazardous tool. As was already mentioned, once it tricks you into permitting it in, it’s no longer bound to seek your approval before implementing changes. Just try to imagine the consequences. For example, if the hijacker feels like it, it can approve the installation of as many malware tools as it so desires, and you’ll just have to accept it. What’s more, I-Search.Us.com is not even required to inform you of the changes it has made. It can simply surprise you. To recap, the hijacker does whatever it wishes to do and leaves you to find it out on your own, and deal with it. And, try to imagine the surprise of turning your computer on and finding out it’s brimming with malevolent tools. At the very least, the hijacker can decide to reshuffle your system settings in a manner that will block you from accessing your favorite websites. Even though that’s not as damaging as having more malware installed, it’s still highly obnoxious. Another infuriating “perk” of getting stuck with a hijacker is having to endure the waterfall of pop-up ads it throws your way. That’s right. I-Search.Us.com displays adware’s most vexatious trait. The tool commences a bombardment of pop-ups shortly after infiltration and floods you with ads every time you try to go online. The only way to cease this disturbance is to delete the hijacker altogether. One more “joy”, courtesy of I-Search.Us.com, is the fact that it spies on you in an attempt to steal your personal and financial information. Once it infects your system, the tool starts keeping a thorough record of your browsing habits and your every move. After it feels it has collected enough data, it sends it to the unknown third parties behind it. Are you willing to grant access to your private life to wicked strangers? Think long and hard before you answer.
