Remove Securery.com Hijacker from Chrome/Firefox/IE

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

Securery.com is the nth browser hijacker roaming the Web that you need to keep an eye out for. Don’t let the fact that its name includes the word “secure” fool you; there is nothing secure about this thing. Despite the fact it’s a French parasite, you get can effectively infected with this pest everywhere on the globe. If you’ve never had to deal with hijackers before, you need to get as informed as possible about all of their malicious traits because this type of parasites is very sneaky and hides a rich variety of stealthy tricks up its sleeve. Securery.com poses as a perfectly safe search engine but what else could you expect from hackers? They won’t be kind enough to let you know you’re installing a PC virus. That’s not how any of this works. This hijacker mainly relies on lies and deceit so it goes without saying it cannot be trustworthy. Even though its official website appears to be quite legitimate as it promises accurate search results and quick access to pictures and videos, in reality it only provides issues. Hijackers weren’t designed to enhance your browsing experience. They only exist so their dishonest developers could generate web traffic thus gaining revenue. Now that you know money is involved, are you feeling nervous yet? You should. If they get paid enough, cyber crooks will not think twice before exposing you to all kinds of corrupted web links instead of safe search results. Therefore, as you can clearly see, it’s incredibly easy to end up compromising your PC much further by clicking some suspicious web link generated by the parasite. So why risk doing so? Neither you have to help cyber criminals become rich, nor do you have to tolerate this nuisance of a program and its never-ending pile of shenanigans. Bottom line is, you will be better off once you remove the virus and regain control over your machine.

How did I get infected with?

The most popular infiltration method is called freeware bundling and it’s both simple and efficient. Hackers just wouldn’t ignore such a golden opportunity to cause you trouble, right? All they need to do is attach the parasite to some freeware/shareware bundle that you will later on download off of the Internet. Most PC users don’t have the habit of checking the programs they’re about to install one by one and that’s exactly what crooks take advantage of. Remember, every time you rush the installation process in order to save time, you’re putting your cyber security in danger. This could very easily backfire on you. To avoid such an unpleasant scenario, never skip installation steps and make sure you’ve checked thoroughly the software you install. Otherwise, there might be some highly unwanted parasite somewhere among the programs you wanted. Select the advanced/custom option every time you install software and you’ll immediately notice how beneficial a little extra care could be. If you remain attentive and cautious in the installation process, you will be able to spot and deselect any intruder trying to sneak in behind your back. It’s also recommended to read the Terms and Conditions in advance so you know exactly what terms and conditions you accept. Keep in mind that you could either protect your PC, cyber security and nerves from trouble or, if you underestimate the numerous cyber threats out there, you might end up infecting your own computer. Then there’s no one else to blame.

Why is this dangerous?

To begin with, the Securery.com website is entirely in French, so that explains why many people struggle to deal with this parasite. Once it manages to successfully invade your PC, the hijacker goes directly after your browsers. Being perfectly compatible with three of the most commonly used browsers out there, it infects Mozilla Firefox, Google Chrome and Internet Explorer without bothering to ask for any kind of permission first. Basically, your overall preferences become rather irrelevant after the PC got compromised. The parasite replaces both your default search engine and default browser homepage with its own suspicious domain. This way you will be greeted by Securery.com’s nasty presence every single time you attempt to use your machine. What’s a lot worse though, is the fact you’re being constantly exposed to malware till the very moment you delete the hijacker. All of Securery.com search results are incredibly unreliable so you obviously can no longer trust your own browsers. Sponsored web links instead of accurate, safe ones is not what you want to see on the PC screen, is it? You might also be interested to know that Securery.com tracks your browsing-related activities so it could send some of your personal (and probably sensitive) data straight to hackers. They have a great variety of monetizing platforms to choose from but even if they don’t sell your data to questionable third parties, this entire scheme simply can’t end well for your privacy. If you don’t appreciate the thought of having your browsing history, search queries, passwords and usernames, email addresses and IP address monitored and spied on, you should be more than ready to get rid of the virus. This devious program also slows down the entire PC so your once trusty browsers might start occasionally to crash and/or freeze. In other words, deleting the Securery.com is the only reasonable thing to do in this situation. If you want to uninstall the parasite manually, please follow the comprehensive removal guide you will find down below.
