Search.arab-one.com - How to remove

Search.arab-one.com is a browser hijacker. As it can be deciphered from its title, it is a hijacker that targets at Arabic users across the Middle East countries, like, for instance, Saudi Arabia and United Arab Emirates. It features a text in Arabic. But do not get misleaded – you can become the target of this hijackware as well, even though, for example, you reside in the other continent.

About Search.arab-one.com

Search.arab-one.com virus changes the settings of your Internet browser. Your default homepage and search engine will be alternated with Search.arab-one.com. To perform a reverse action and to get back to your previous homepage manually is literally impossible since the browser is configured so that the previous settings are unrecoverable. Search.arab-one.com virus affects such widely used web browsers as Internet Explorer, Google Chrome, Mozzila Firefox and Safari. Yet this is not the only inconvenience this hijackware can cause you.

Search.arab-one.com program can be considered as an adware either. The reason this software makes modifications presented above is the advertising revenue being generated. This happens in the following manner. Search.arab-one.com displays altered search results, that are, promoted web pages. These websites contain personalized advertisements creating pay-per-click profit to the publisher. Not only they can force you into buying what is not actually needed, but they are potentially hazardous as their content is questionable and your computer can easily get infected. As if that was not enough, your computer will noticeably slow down.

How Search.arab-one.com spreads

Search.arab-one.com virus, like many other hijackers and adwares, is included in free software bundles you download and install through the Internet. As a consequence, you must be very careful when carrying out installation of free programs from unofficial websites. In every case select Advanced and Custom options on installation windows if you are provided with them. Deselect every single program which is unfamiliar, and, especially, untrusworthy.

However, if you failed to install the software according to the recommendations set forth above, the easiest and the most reliable way of removing Search.arab-one.com virus is to apply such widely recognized anti-malware tools as Spyhunter and Malwarebytes. These reinstallation utilities will remove hijackware and adware automatically. It is important not to hesitate and get rid of this program as soon as possible.
