Search.easyrecipesnow.com virus - How to remove

You have noticed that the first website that loads on your web browser is Search.easyrecipesnow.com? Well that means your computer is infected with this virus which is listed as browser hijacker. Keep reading this post to learn how to solve this problem.

Search.easyrecipesnow.com operates as browser add-on. Usually it is installed on web browsers as a bundle to some free software that can be downloaded from the Internet. Sometimes during the installation, you can notice an offer to install additional software for free. As it often happens, those additional programs are malware, just like Search.easyrecipesnow.com. Once it is added on your web browser, it can be really difficult to completely get rid of it.

Looking at this particular virus, you can notice that it is a typical web browser hijacker. It features a search box and is described as a tool to search the web faster and easier. However, all searches executed through Search.easyrecipesnow.com are redirected to Yahoo, so there is no point of using this website – it just an unwanted middleman. The main point of this landing page is not the search – it is in the additional toolbar it provides.

As you can see, this toolbar provides you with additional information – weather forecast, links to news, recipes and other food related websites. So the main goal of this infection is to direct the traffic to other websites and distribute other tools. Weather forecast tool is a well-known add-on Weatherly – we have discussed it previously and it is clear that this tool is mostly distributed by malware like this, thus it falls into the category of PUP (possibly unwanted program). Moreover, weather forecast provided by Weatherly is really inaccurate, thus we do not recommend using it. Moving over – other links featured in this add-on are linking to websites of questionable quality too. Most probably those sites were created only to make money from advertisements and the only way they get web traffic is by cooperating with malware like this. Visiting such websites might result in additional malware installed on your computer.

It is always good to take a look at the privacy policy of tools that you are using. Privacy policy of Search.easyrecipesnow.com reveals that this tool was developed by Polarity Technologies LTD – a company which has distributed malware before. It is also clear that this browser add-on will recored some of your personal information, such as search queries, most visited sites, internet history or even email address. Even though it is not clear, they might transfer this data to third parties without warning you about that.

Why it can be difficult to get rid of this infection? First of all, there are several places it needs to be removed – both from your computer and web browsers. While it is easy to remove an add-on from the Internet browser, things get tricky when you have to edit registry entries and remove files created by this infection. That is why we recommend to get some assistance from anti-malware software – use either Spyhunter and the virus will be eliminated fast. Those programs also have other useful features, such as real-time protection, 24/7 tech support, etc., so just give it a try. Both premium and free versions are available, so you can test them without spending money.

There is also a way to eliminate browser hijackers manually. To assist you through this process, we have developed a step-by-step Search.easyrecipesnow.com manual removal guide – scroll down below this article and take a look at it. Do your best to complete all steps correctly and you should be able to eliminate this virus manually by your own.
