Globasearch.com is a website, developed by Ilyesoft Studio, that claims to offer useful improvements to your Internet browsing experience but in fact it does not add much value and can even cause security problems to your computer. The program offers quick links to such popular websites like Youtube, Yahoo, Bing and others. It also claims to be a great search tool. Although all of this might sound tempting, not many computer users install the application intentionally. Usually it is added to PCs using unfair methods, such as bundling it with freeware, codecs or torrents.
Globasearch.com is not a malware infection, yet some might think it is a virus because of several reasons. It is installed to computers without users’ knowledge. It changes your homepage and default search engine without your consent and these changes can not be reverted via browser settings. The results displayed by the latter mainly include sponsored websites mixed with the relevant ones without separating the two. Additionally, it constantly redirects you to web pages of suspicious origin by visiting which your system can get infected with viruses.
Globasearch.com is mainly distributed bundled with freeware applications, such as various codecs, torrents, free video file converters and similar. You should be very careful when installing anything from the Internet and always go for custom installation so you could avoid adding such annoying programs to your computer. If the application is already installed, we recommend removing it as soon as you can. Please note that Globasearch.com does not add any value to your computer using experience and even increases a risk of getting it infected with viruses via advertisements and promoted links.
Go to Control Panel -> Add and Remove programs list and uninstall it from there. It is important that you remove all other programs installed with the hijacker, as some of them might redownload or reset back browser settings. Scan with Spyhunter as it identifies such programs quite well. You should also check browser extensions for Internet Explorer, Mozilla Firefox and Google Chrome. If you do not see Globasearch.com listed, you should use antimalware tools like Spyhunter and scan your computer with it. 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:
