Iconssliding.com virus - How to remove

Iconssliding.com is a platform for searching that features an alarming amount of commercial content which is not even adjusted to the entered key words. For instance, clients might be searching for online shopping domains that sell clothes, but the results to such a query will be accompanied by banners for products like smartphones. This search engine is closely related with Goeaglesearch.com that we have recently examined. Both of them are considered to be as underdogs, not fit to be accepted as respectable facilities. Even if the interface of Iconssliding.com contains shortcuts to sections like “Terms&Conditions” and “Privacy”, the first one simply re-transfers people to the same initial page of this searching platform. This virus will not hesitate to rearrange browsers’ preferences that users might have set. Home pages, default search providers and new tab pages all direct to Iconssliding.com.

Details about Iconssliding.com virus

Iconssliding.com virus serves pop-ups that present recommendations or even requirements to install new Media Players. Uoy.macnewtech.com is indicated as the source for this suggested Media Player and we can clearly state that such a website should not be regarded as a legitimate source for updates or programs. By clicking ‘Accept and Install’, you are very likely to install a malicious application. These pop-ups can appear during exploration of Iconssliding.com. Our researcher group got introduced to them after executing search queries and even after clicking on random places of the domain.

The EULA document does not appear to be available, but it is possible to read the Privacy Policy. This searching platform appears to be advertised as an engine that provides a private browsing experience. Even though Iconssliding.com does not opt to collect users private information, it does explain to have the permission to gather info about your browsing activity and sources from which you downloaded Icon Sliding or ‘private search’ extension. The second name is the title that the extension uses in the Chrome Web Store. It does not appear to be very popular, is rated quite poorly and does not have any commentary from former/current users.

If you do not wish to have your browsing monitored by people behind Iconssliding.com, we advise you to select a different search provider. However, since browser hijackers occupy preferences and do not allow any modifications, we presume that this task might be a little difficult to complete. In the Privacy Policy we found the section ‘Uninstall’ which is supposed to provide a link to get rid of this browser extension. However, such a shortcut is not introduced. Another suspicious feature of Iconssliding.com virus.

Iconssliding.com virus is designed to serve Google Chrome users. It probably won’t function on other browsers which is probably good news. There is no information about who the founders of this search engine and extension might be, but we are sure that they do not express any warranties for the content they distribute. You should consider the options to remove this add-on.

First one can be done manually: all you have to do is follow instructions that are enumerated below. However, if you have downloaded content from the pop-ups Iconssliding.com virus presented, you should be more interested in running a thorough scan to find out whether more malware has managed to slither inside your device. Spyhunter, Plumbytes or Hitman can help you detect and remove all malware samples.

How can Iconssliding.com virus hijack your computer?

Iconssliding.com virus can be downloaded with the browser extensions we have mentioned above. Never download applications that have a bad reputation. For this reason, it is always recommended to do some research about a tool you wish to install. If you find that security researchers label it as malware or potentially unwanted, you should change your mind about getting it. Nevertheless, if you do start preparing a program for usage, pick advanced/custom modes for its installer. This will help you discover if any additional applications are going to be installed alongside. If you notice such offers, you are advised to reject them.
