Remove Search.youremailcenter.com from Chrome/Firefox/IE

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

Have you had to deal with browser hijackers before? No? Then you have been incredibly fortunate so far and you should know that most PC users don’t have your luck. It’s incredibly easy to get infected with a nasty parasite while surfing the Web, however, removing it is a lot more challenging. Search.youremailcenter.com is yet another unoriginal hijacker with an original name that was designed to harass you. This pest gets installed behind your back and doesn’t hesitate to hijack your browser thus effectively demolishing your entire browsing experience. Well, on theory it was supposed to enhance it. Advertised as a decent and perfectly safe search engine, this virus relies solely on lies and deceit so, as you can imagine, you can’t trust any of its bogus promises and fake advertising. According to its creators, this program was never supposed to bring upon you issues. Ironically enough, that’s pretty much all it does. After it infects your browsers, the hijacker starts aggressively redirecting you towards some specific sponsored web pages because this way the hackers who developed this nuisance of a program gain revenue. What about your search results, you may ask, what about your online security? Well, after the PC has been compromised, unfortunately, your preferences are no longer relevant. If you don’t appreciate being manipulated, just wait and see what else this parasite provides. Among the sponsored search results generated by the hijacker there will be some corrupted links as well as some fake ones; that means you could either land on some compromised website filled with malware or you could lose your money trying to purchase some non-existent product. Which option sounds worse to you? To be honest, both of them are quite unpleasant. When you also realize you can no longer find what you’re searching for online and that your entire machine is working much more slowly than before, will you still think having Search.youremailcenter.com on board is a good idea? It isn’t.

How did I get infected with?

Cyber infections in general and hijackers in particular apply mostly sneaky, secretive methods in order to compromise machines. Therefore, the most plausible scenario in this situation is that you installed the parasite yourself without even knowing it. How exactly did that happen? Most viruses travel the Web as “bonus” attachments in freeware/shareware bundles. This way, unless you pay extra attention to the installation process (which not many people tend to do) you directly download the entire bundle without having the slightest idea what nasty bonus receives green light as well. It goes without saying how harmful such a hazardous behavior could be because you might infect your own machine with all types of parasites imaginable. It’s enough to mention Trojans, isn’t it? They apply that very same technique. To prevent virus infiltration, always opt for the Custom or Advanced option in the Setup Wizard. Trust us on this one, you don’t want to underestimate any potential threat as your own machine as well as your privacy might get exposed to some serious danger. Keep an eye out for intruders, especially when it comes to bundled freeware from unverified websites. Bundles are known to be an extremely convenient stealthy tactic for parasite distribution so make sure you don’t fall victim to its cheap trickery.

Why is this dangerous?

Browser hijackers in general are quite a nasty kind of a parasite and Search.youremailcenter.com is no exception. Its official website presents it as a harmless and practical search engine that should generate accurate search results and, ultimately, improve your Internet experience. If you find these promises too good to be true, that is because they are bogus. There is nothing reliable about a cyber infection, right? Right. Search.youremailcenter.com is quite an aggressive parasite and its manipulation begin right after it gets successfully installed. Once the parasite slithers itself onto your machine, it adds a malicious extension to Mozilla Firefox, Google Chrome and Internet Explorer. From this moment on the endless redirecting this pest has prepared for you simply cannot be avoided. The virus replaces both your favorite homepage and default search engine with its own questionable domain so your search results can no longer be trusted. Apart from the obvious inconvenience that you will not be able to use your browsers properly, this trick also exposes you straight to parasites. All search results generated by the hijacker are equally dangerous and clicking them could bring upon your immense trouble. Stay away from all links displayed due to this parasite’s sneaky presence. Same piece of advice goes for the numerous program updates or additional toolbars that the virus could try to force upon you – they are all unreliable and potentially harmful. To top it all, Search.youremailcenter.com sneakily monitors your entire browsing-related activities and sends all of your private data to hackers. Whatever dubious monetizing platform they decide to use in order to gain money out of your information, this scheme cannot end well for you. Crooks shouldn’t have access to your browsing history, pages visited, passwords, usernames or IP addresses and yet, they do.
