Remove Webstarts.biz form Chrome/Firefox

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

Webstarts.biz is even more dangerous than it is annoying. And it’s immensely annoying so you do the math. This is one of the many browser hijackers out there designed to wreak havoc. Therefore, the sooner you tackle this pest, the better. Even though hijackers may not be the most virulent infections on the Web, they are tricky. The webstarts.biz virus actually relies on the fact you’d underestimate its malicious potential. Make sure you don’t let hackers fool you and delete the hijacker ASAP. Now, webstarts.biz’s official website appears to be quite legitimate. It provides you quick access to Facebook, Amazon, Twitter and other popular pages. There’s also the search engine itself. That is it. No terms and conditions, no information on the program whatsoever. Furthermore, if you try to use the search engine, you will get redirected. This is how you could compromise your already compromised PC further. The hijacker generates one very specific category of web links – sponsored ones. You could never trust a sponsored link, though. Webstarts.biz displays both perfectly safe and utterly corrupted search results. Both kinds are sponsored and help hackers gain profit. However, there’s no telling which is which. The only way to find out is by clicking but is that a risk worth taking? Keep in mind you may land on dangerous websites full of malware. Before you know it, you might install a whole bunch of parasites. Our advice is to avoid webstarts.biz and all links this program constantly generates. The thing is, avoiding webstarts.biz is quite a challenging task. As soon as the hijacker gets installed, it goes after your browser settings. For instance, your default search engine and default homepage get modified. Both are now replaced with the parasite’s questionable domain. As already mentioned, webstarts.biz displays unreliable, potentially harmful web links. Stay away from them even if they seem attractive. The virus might also generate fake software updates and third-party ads. To top it all, webstarts.biz redirects you to some unknown, untrustworthy websites. You’re now dealing with a very resourceful parasite. To top it all, the hijacker steals your browsing-related information. Hackers have free access to your private data. It goes without saying this cannot possibly end well for you. To prevent serious privacy issues, get rid of the virus on the spot.

How did I get infected with?

The official website doesn’t have a download option. That means webstarts.biz has found another way to land on board. PC infections in general are masters in the art of deceit. It comes as no surprise the sneaky webstarts.biz hijacker got installed in silence. For example, this nuisance may have been bundled with other programs. Keep in mind that freeware and shareware bundles are particularly popular infiltration methods. They are used by all types of infections imaginable. You were relatively lucky to download a hijacker because there are worse scenarios. Some nasty Trojan horse or a devastating ransomware could cause you much more damage. A rule of thumb for the future – always watch out for parasites. Avoid illegitimate pages and unverified program bundles as well. Opting for the custom option in the Setup Wizard would keep you in control of the installation. If you’re not in charge of the process, it will be hackers. Make no mistake and remember that the Web is infested with malware. It is up to you whether your machine will remain infection-free or it will get compromised. Other effective infiltration tricks involve spam emails/messages, malicious torrents, fake program updates, etc.

Why is this dangerous?
