Websearch.allsearches.info virus - How to remove

Websearch.allsearches.info virus is a browser hijacker that uses unfair methods to infiltrate into random computers without users’ consent. The program works identically to websearch.searchanfly.into virus, websearch.fixsearch.info virus, websearch.wonderfulsearches.info virus and many other browser hijackers which we have already described before. It affects Internet Explorer, Mozilla Firefox and Google Chrome browsers. Once inside, Websearch.allsearches.info virus replaces your homepage and search provider without allowing to revert the changes.

 

 

 

 

 

Most of the users have noticed this page set as their start page after downloading various programs from softonic.com, download.com, soft32.com and other popular freeware download websites. If you don’t pay much attention to your downloads from the Internet, there is a great risk of adding various potentially unwanted programs to your computer or get your browser settings modified. The creators of browser hijackers, adware and other potentially unwanted programs often bundle their products along well known players, download managers, PDF creators, etc. without properly disclosing them. If you don’t read Terms and Agreements of your new downloads and accept every installation step without checking what it says, you can end up installing some PUP too. Opting for Custom or Advanced installation instead of Quick or Basic can also be very important and these setups will allow you to decline the installation of unwanted bundles.

If your browsers have already been affected and you are forced to use Websearch.allsearches.info as your search provider, you may have to deal with some annoying consequences. Not only this search page is not able to provide reliable search results, but also it will make you visit sponsored websites which can be compromised, so you will pose risk to get serious infections. It is also likely that Websearch.allsearches.info virus will try to track your browsing habits and get some of your private information. Later it can pass it to the third parties which can use your search queries to generate personalised ads. If you don’t want to be involved into any of these activities, you should get rid of this hijacker as soon as possible.

To remove Websearch.allsearches.info virus, go to Control Panel -> Add and Remove programs list and uninstall everything realted to this domain from there. You may also need to remove all other programs installed the same day as the problem occurred, as some of them might reset back browser settings. Scan with Spyhunter or StopZilla. They identify such programs quite well. You should also check browser extensions for Internet Explorer, Mozilla Firefox and Google Chrome. Uninstalling the program from your computer doesn’t change your search providers, it only stops ads appearing on your computer. You will have to do it manually by yourself. Depending on the browser you are using, follow the instructions below:
