Remove Safebrowsing.biz Homepage From Chrome/Firefox/IE

Suddenly Safebrowsing.biz took over your homepage and you cannot remove it.

The very last thing Safebrowsing.biz provides is safe browsing. As you could imagine, this program is certainly not a legitimate search engine. It’s a virus. And the more time it manages to spend on your PC system, the more problematic your cyber situation will become. Therefore, don’t waste time. Safebrowsing.biz has been categorized as a browser hijacker and it could get out of hand impressively quickly. To prevent further damage, uninstall the parasite ASAP. You won’t regret it. Once your machine gets compromised, Safebrowsing.biz goes after your browsers. Yes, all of them. By adding a malicious browser extension, the virus effectively takes control over your entire browsing experience. What’s even worse is that is exposes you to malware. Safebrowsing.biz replaces both your default search engine and default browser homepage with its own domain. That means you’re now forced to use this particular (not to mention, unreliable) search engine every single time you surf the Web. Apart from potentially harmful web links, though, Safebrowsing.biz has nothing to offer. Remember, you’re dealing with a parasite. This thing was developed solely to help its creators gain revenue. The problem is, hackers’ money might come at your expense. Even though Safebrowsing.biz promises accurate search results, it actually generates sponsored web links. Obviously, a sponsored web link could lead you to all kinds of websites – safe or not. If you trust the pesky hijacker, you might accidentally end up on some extremely dangerous page filled with malware. Is this a risk you’re willing to take? It shouldn’t be. Stay away from anything brought to you by the hijacker, including third-party commercials and software updates. Keep it mind that whatever Safebrowsing.biz displays is tailored by hackers. Therefore, it should be avoided. The parasite also stubbornly redirects you to Yahoo and other websites so finding what you search for online becomes a constant struggle. As mentioned already, the web links you’re currently seeing on your PC screen are potentially dangerous. Restrain yourself from clicking anything suspicious-looking and take care of your safety. The hijacker also jeopardizes your privacy by stealing browsing-related information. However, Safebrowsing.biz might even attempt to monitor some personally identifiable data of yours as well. This poses the huge threat of identity theft so make no mistake. The sooner you get rid of the intruder, the better.
