Remove SeekMx.com Homepage from Chrome/Firefox/IE

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

SeekMx.com is a browser hijacker. It’s malicious and intrusive, and you should get rid of it as soon as you first become aware of its presence. Don’t delay deleting it! The more you postpone its removal, the more issues it will throw your way. Shortly after the tool slithers its way into your system via slyness and finesse, it reveals itself by replacing your default search engine and homepage with SeekMx.com. That’s when you discover there’s a hazardous infection lurking somewhere in the corners of your PC. The hijacker seems to appear out of the blue as you have no memory of permitting its installation, or any of the reshuffles it springs on you. That’s the hijacker’s M.O. It dupes you into approving its install, while keeping you oblivious to it, and then proceeds to wreak all kinds of havoc. Once you give it the green light of approval, and it settles on your PC, the tool is no longer required to ask for your permission on anything else. It’s free to perform any and all changes it so wishes, and you’ll just have to deal with them. Does that sound like a pleasant experience? SeekMx.com is malicious, intrusive, and immensely unreliable! It doesn’t deserve your trust, so don’t fall victim to its treachery. Save yourself the time and energy of living and dealing with the repercussions of its daily whims, and delete it now.

How did I get infected with?

SeekMx.com is bound to ask for your approval prior to installing itself on your computer. But don’t think that helps you spot it and prevent it from invading your system. It doesn’t. This tiny detail doesn’t slow it down one bit. In fact, you don’t even see it coming. Usually, the hijacker fools you into allowing it in, while remaining hidden from your sight, by hitching a ride with freeware, spam email attachments, corrupted links, or websites. It uses them as a shield to hide behind and slithers in without you even realizing it. It’s as easy as that. The tool can also pose as a bogus program or system update, like Java or Adobe Flash Player. Did you spot the common denominator? All of these methods of infiltration rely on your distraction, haste, and gullibility. So, if you don’t provide them, there’s a better chance SeekMx.com won’t be able to sneak into your computer. Don’t throw caution to the wind and don’t rush, and you’ll succeed in keeping hijackers such as this one away from your system. Remember, a little extra attention today can save you a lot of headaches and troubles tomorrow.

Why is this dangerous?

SeekMx.com is a threat you shouldn’t underestimate. Don’t gamble both your and your system’s well-being for such a hazardous and useless tool. It’s not worth it! The biggest issue it presents you with, which should tip the scales in favor of its immediate removal, is the fact that it can implement any changes it so wishes to, without bothering to ask for your permission first. In fact, the hijacker doesn’t even have to inform you. It can surprise you. Just try to imagine the shock and dismay you’ll experience as you turn on your PC one day and find it brimming with malware. Oh, yes. The hijacker can do that. It can install as many malevolent tools as it wants. And, you’ll just have to accept that. At the very least, the infection can choose to reshuffle your settings in a manner that will block you from visiting your favorite websites. So, say goodbye to Facebook, Instagram, and anything else the tool decides you shouldn’t have access to. But the annoyance and frustration don’t end there. The hijacker also floods you with pop-up ads every time you try to browse the web. So, you won’t only get redirected to SeekMx.com, but you’ll also get bombarded with an entire myriad of infuriating, unreliable pop-ups. Does it still sound like a useful tool? Add to all of that, the fact that the hijacker jeopardizes your personal and financial information, and it should become quite apparent, that it’s not worth holding onto it. As soon as you first spot SeekMx.com, take action and get rid of it! The sooner you delete it, the better.
