Think on that for a moment. If it wishes to, the tool can easily reshuffle your setting and block you from accessing your favorite sites. Or, it can choose to install more malware. The sky is the limit, so the possibilities of damaging your system beyond repair are pretty tangible. How long do you think you’ll be able to hold the front before The Blue Screen of Death?

By getting rid of SerfSearch.com, you’ll protect both yourself and your system, and your future self will thank you for it.
How did I get infected with?
SerfSearch.com has plenty of ways to pick from when it comes to gaining access to your system. Yes, the tool may be bound to ask for your approval before installing itself, but don’t think this helps you see the hijacker coming your way. You don’t. The tool is a master of deceit. In fact, it’s so skilled in its trickery, that you don’t even realize it has infected your PC until it chooses to reveal itself. More often than not, it sneaks in undetected by posing as a fake program or system update. While you may be utterly convinced you’re updating your Java r Adobe Flash Player, you’re not. In actuality, you’re giving your permission for the installation of a dangerous and damaging browser hijacker. If you wish to keep SerfSearch.com away from your computer, be sure to be more careful and to not rush. Naivety and distraction will do nothing for you. Remember that a little extra caution can go a long way and save you a lot of troubles.
Why is this dangerous?
After SerfSearch.com settles in your system, it lays low for a while. As was already mentioned, it’s very much under the radar, so you don’t even realize it’s there, even though, technically, you allowed it in. The tool first shows itself by replacing your preferred search engine and homepage to SerfSearch.com. But this little switch is just the start. It’s only the beginning of an endless string of unasked for and unapproved changes, which you’ll be forced to accept. That’s because once in, the hijacker can do anything and everything it so desires. That’s a scary possibility. Don’t just stand by and accept that! Spare your system from the inevitable doom you basically agree to! Don’t allow the hijacker to stay and mess up your system! Get rid of it the very first chance you get! That way you’ll avoid getting overwhelmed with malware, and also experiencing a bombardment of pop-up ads, which leads to frequent system crashes and a slower PC performance. Remove SerfSearch.com at once, and save yourself all of this trouble. This useless tool is not worth even half the hassle it puts you through.
