Remove ExpressFind.net Hijacker from Chrome/Firefox/IE

Suddenly ExpressFind.net took over your homepage and you cannot remove it.

ExpressFind.net is a browser hijacker. Once you’re infected by the intrusive and malicious hijacker, it completely takes over your system. The first thing you’ll notice is the fact that it replaces your default search engine and homepage with ExpressFind.net. But don’t think it stops there. Oh, no. This little reshuffle is merely the beginning of your headaches. After the hijacker performs this unwanted and unrequested change, it continues to implement many, many more. The only way, to avoid dealing with the troubles the tool will inevitably force upon you, is to delete it the very first chance you get. Once you come across the ExpressFind.net site, do what’s best for you and your PC and find the malware that’s lurking behind it. After you discover where it’s hiding, delete it! Remember, the page you’ll see so incessantly is just the front of the actual threat jeopardizing both your and your system’s well-being. So, don’t dilly-dally and address the situation at once! The sooner you remove the hijacker, the better. If you decide not to, know that you’re only setting yourself up for a bad time. You’ll be faced with the infuriating redirects to ExpressFind.net every time you try to go online. You’ll be flooded with a never-ending stream of pop-up advertisements, as well. Not to mention, the severe risk of unwillingly and unknowingly agreeing to install more malware on your PC. And, who can forget, the privacy issue. The hijacker will terrorize your browsing on a daily basis, and it will bombard you with problems non-stop. Are you honestly prepared to put in the time and energy these issues will demand from you, and to endure all the headaches and frustration they’ll undeniably cause you? It’s up to you to decide.

How did I get infected with?

Let’s play a game. And, we’re so confident in our victory that if you win, we’ll pay you a million dollars! That’s some prize, eh? It makes you wonder what kind of game we’re talking about. Well, rest assured. It’s nothing fancy. Let’s begin. Think back to the moment you agreed to install the malicious tool that’s now forcing the ExpressFind.net page upon you. Point out the precise moment you said ‘Yes’ to its installation. Can you? We bet you can’t. We bet you can’t even remember when exactly you installed the tool. Right now you’re probably shaking your head in denial, saying you did no such thing, you did not install that tool. Well, hate to break it to you, but you did. In fact, if it weren’t for you and your carelessness, you wouldn’t be dealing with the hijacker’s mess right now. Without you explicitly approving its install, it cannot enter your system. We’re assuming you lost this little game, but in the off-chance that you didn’t don’t expect to receive a million dollars. That was just an exaggeration used to prove a point. And, point being, hijackers use you to slither into your system and do so without you even realizing it. They prey on your carelessness, haste, and naivety and through slyness and subtlety invade your PC undetected. Don’t allow them to dupe you like that! Don’t rush and don’t throw caution to the wind! Instead, be extra attentive and you just might prevent them from sneaking in and messing everything up. Consider this: the few extra minutes you spend being thorough and careful when installing a tool or an update, will save you countless more dealing with the issues the hijacker WILL later force upon you. So, is it honestly worth it? Figure out your priorities.
