Remove Yoursearch.me from Chrome/Firefox/IE

Suddenly Yoursearch.me took over your homepage and you cannot remove it.

Yoursearch.me is a browser hijacker. This tool is malicious and intrusive, not to mention harmful. After it slithers its way in by means of deception and finesse, and then it starts wreaking havoc. Issues begin piling up almost instantaneously. Once it latches onto your computer, the hijacker reveals its presence by replacing your homepage and search engine with Yoursearch.me. You may not remember approving this reshuffle, or even installing the tool, but there it is! It just seems to have popped up from out of the blue one day. Unfortunately, the hijacker doesn’t stop with these two changes. They’re just the tip of the iceberg and are followed by a great deal more. They will also come as a surprise to you. That’s because once the tool manages to invade your system, it’s no longer required to seek your permission before implementing changes. That means the hijacker can do whatever it feels like doing whenever it feels like doing it, and you’ll just have to deal with it. Do you think anything positive will come from that? Do what’s best for you and your computer, and get rid of Yoursearch.me as soon as you possibly can.

How did I get infected with?

Yoursearch.me resorts to the usual antics in order to sneak into your system. In fact, the tool not only successfully manages to infiltrate your PC, but also does it without you even realizing it. That’s right. The hijacker is so resourceful and masterful in the arts of deceit that, it not only dupes you into allowing it in, but also keeps you oblivious that you did. More often than not, it resorts to the old but gold methods of invasion. That includes hiding behind freeware, corrupted links or websites, or spam email attachments. Also, it can pose as a bogus system or program update. For example, while you may be utterly convinced that you’re updating your Adobe Flash Player or Java, in actuality, you’re giving the green light to a hazardous infection. If you wish to keep Yoursearch.me as far away from your computer as possible, be sure to be more careful and to not rush. Haste, naivety, and distraction are not your friends. They’re your enemies, and you should treat them such. Also, remember that a little extra attention today can save you a lot of headaches and troubles tomorrow.

Why is this dangerous?

Yoursearch.me is a threat not to be taken lightly. Don’t underestimate the amount of damages it can cause you. As was already mentioned, its most hazardous trait is its ability to perform any and all changes it so desires. Think on that. That means that if the hijacker feels like it, it can install as many malevolent tools as it wishes. And, it doesn’t even have to inform you. It can surprise you. Imagine your surprise when you turn on your PC, and find it overrun with malware. Furthermore, Yoursearch.me can also reshuffle your system settings in a manner that will block you from accessing your favorite websites. That may not be as harmful as getting stuck with a bunch of malevolent tools, but it’s just as obnoxious. And, speaking of obnoxious, the hijacker also displays adware’s most infuriating characteristic. Each and every time you try to browse the web, you’ll not only get redirected to Yoursearch.me, but you’ll also be flooded with an entire waterfall of pop-up ads. Furthermore, since the vexatious ads appear incessantly, you’ll start to experience frequent system crashes, and your computer’s performance will slow down to a crawl. The pop-ups, which will be disturbing you continuously, are immensely unreliable. So, if you click on even one, you’ll unwillingly end up agreeing to install more malware. As if that’s not enough to convince you that this tool is not worth the risks, there’s one more problem you’ll be faced with, because of it. The worst issue Yoursearch.me will present you with will be the fact that it places your personal and financial information in harm’s way. That’s because it spies on you from the second it invades your system. It keeps a thorough record of your every move, and when it feels it has collected enough data from you, sends it to the people that support it. Are you willing to grant these strangers with access to your private details? Don’t take such a colossal gamble! Protect yourself and your computer, and get rid of Yoursearch.me immediately.
