Search.heasyphotoeditpro.com Browser Hijacker - How to remove

Search.heasyphotoeditpro.com is the name of a browser hijacker that can take over your Internet browser and cause all sorts of inconvenience. In fact, it is not only inconvenient but dangerous as well – keeping Search.heasyphotoeditpro.com installed on your computer can lead to some cyber security problems, such as leaked data or computer infected with other viruses.

It’s not that difficult to notice that your computer and web browser is infected with Search.heasyphotoeditpro.com hijacker – once you open a web browser it will be the first website you notice. That’s because cyber criminals behind this virus developed it the way it would be automatically set as your homepage and default search engine as soon as malicious files enter your system.

As mentioned above, keeping Search.heasyphotoeditpro.com installed on your computer is not a good idea and we definitely recommend to get rid of it as soon as possible. If you are not aware of how to do that, please continue reading the article. We will teach you how to get rid of Search.heasyphotoeditpro.com both automatically and manually, so the decision is yours.

How Search.heasyphotoeditpro.com Infected Your Computer

First, we need to mention the origins of this virus – it will help you better understand the overall picture. It was developed and released by an infamous company called Polarity Technologies LTD. It is a company responsible for other browser hijackers such as search.searchfch2.com, Search TheCookingClub, or search.hsearchsmart.co, so you don’t need to dig deep in order to understand that Search.heasyphotoeditpro.com is just another malware.

So if Search.heasyphotoeditpro.com is actively operating on your computer right now, there is a chance that your system was already infected with some malware before and it automatically infiltrated Search.heasyphotoeditpro.com without even warning you about that. That’s why we always recommend protecting your system with a trustworthy anti-malware tool.

Or, you have visited some suspicious website that promotes Search.heasyphotoeditpro.com hijacker and clicked on misleading advertisements. Usually, products of Polarity are involved in unfair advertising networks, so this option is more than possible.

There is a third option – you have installed this malicious tool by yourself because you thought it would be useful. Search.heasyphotoeditpro.com is presented as a free tool that will help you edit photos fast and efficient, right on your web browser. Unfortunately, none of that is true – it’s just a slogan to attract your attention.

How Search.heasyphotoeditpro.com Operates

Search.heasyphotoeditpro.com works as a browser extension and it is compatible with all most common web browsers, such as Internet Explorer, Microsoft Edge, Google Chrome or Mozilla Firefox.

We have already highlighted the fact that once added to your browser it will change some of your settings. If you just ignore those changes and continue using the web browser as it is, you will be forced to search the web through Search.heasyphotoeditpro.com. It might look like not a huge problem at first, but in reality, it is risky.

Search.heasyphotoeditpro.com returns web search results using the custom Yahoo search engine. That means they can alternate displayed results and insert various ads and sponsored links in there. This way you can end up on a website that is not useful or even misleading. In addition to that, all search queries submitted to Search.heasyphotoeditpro.com might be collected and then leaked to third parties, thus this is dangerous.

Finally, Search.heasyphotoeditpro.com might be causing random redirects or excessive advertisements popping up on your screen. It will make your web browsing slower and much more complicated in general.

Uninstall Search.heasyphotoeditpro.com Malware

Even though Search.heasyphotoeditpro.com works as a browser extension, it is not as easy to get rid of it as you might think. It’s not enough to simply remove it from extensions list, because there might be some malicious files uploaded directly to your hard drive – they can be used to restore the virus once it is removed.

For that reason we suggest to scan your system with Spyhunter. It will detect all viruses and potentially unwanted programs on your computer and automatically remove them, so you won’t have to worry about it anymore.
