Remove Personal-browser.com Homepage from Chrome/Firefox/IE

Suddenly Personal-browser.com took over your homepage and you cannot remove it.

Personal-browser.com is a browser hijacker. As the name suggests, the tool hijacks your browser. The first change it implements after it invades your system is switching your default search engine and homepage with Personal-browser.com. But it doesn’t stop there. Oh, no. The hijacker is free to reshuffle anything and everything on your computer without bothering to inform you or ask for your approval first. That’s what makes this infection so hazardous. After it gets you to approve its installation and slither its way in, it’s no longer bound to seek your permission. It can do whatever it so wishes, and you’ll just have to accept it and deal with it. Does that sound like a pleasant experience? Hardly. This tool will bring you nothing but grievances and headaches. What’s more, it poses a grave threat to your personal and financial information. Don’t allow Personal-browser.com to wreck your system and jeopardize your privacy! Delete it at once.

How did I get infected with?

More often than not, Personal-browser.com makes its way to your system by pretending to be a fake system or program update. For example, it leads you to believe that you’re updating your Java or Adobe Flash Player, but that couldn’t be further from the truth. You’re actually installing a hijacker. And, the tool is so masterful in its deception that you don’t even realize you were tricked into letting it in until the hijacker makes its first move and reveals itself. Yes, it’s THAT sly. Other preferred means of infiltration involve the use of freeware, corrupted links or sites, or spam email attachments. The hijacker uses them as a shield to hide behind and then slips right through the cracks when you’re not paying as much attention as you should. That’s the main reason dangerous tools like this one successfully sneak into your system – your carelessness, naivety, and haste. To keep hijackers such as Personal-browser.com out of your computer, make sure to be extra cautious and to not rush.

Why is this dangerous?

Personal-browser.com can, and will, cause you a whole bunch of damages if you don’t get rid of it the first chance you get. You’ll be forced to endure and deal with a never-ending pile of problems and headaches that will only grow the more you allow the tool to stay. That’s why you should do your best to delete it as soon as possible. If you choose not to, you’re only setting yourself up for a bad time. For example, each day, you’ll discover surprising changes throughout your system you didn’t approve of in the first place. As was already mentioned, the hijacker can implement any and all reshuffles it so desires. You’ll have to accept the possibility that at any given time, the tool can decide to install malware on your PC. But besides this very scary perspective, there’s also plenty of other issues that Personal-browser.com will throw your way. For one, you’ll be flooded with pop-up ads every time you try to browse the web. The continuous bombardment of pop-ups will lead to frequent system crashes and a slower computer performance and will also pose a malware threat. Oh, yes. Aside from infuriating, the ads are severely unreliable as they hide grave risks. If you click on even one, you’ll inevitably end up installing more malware on your computer. On top of all of these unpleasantries, you’ll also be faced with a security threat. The hijacker spies on you in an attempt to steal your private details and hand them off to strangers with agendas. Don’t allow the tool to stay and cause you so much damage! It’s not worth the gamble! Remove Personal-browser.com immediately.
