Mktsrc.com Search Redirects - How to remove

Mktsrc.com is a site address that you might notice in your address bar briefly before it loads another site. Mktsrc.com might open Searchgenieo, Bing, Yahoo, or another search engine to show web search results.

Most like, Mktsrc.com’s appearance is caused by a browser extension or an adware app. To stop the redirects, you need to find and disable or remove the responsible add-on.

What causes Mktsrc.com redirects?

You might notice Mktsrc.com – Go.mktsrc.com, Find.mktsrc.com, etc. – appearing in your browser, in the address bar. It forwards to sites that you might not want to visit. It redirects searches to Bing or Yahoo.

This behavior is caused by various browser extensions, including LamaTop.com and Dark Mode. Some browser add-ons make money by hijacking users’ searches. They might delay Mktsrc.com redirects or only let them happen occasionally.

Naturally, the add-ons that use Mktsrc.com don’t advertise this. They may or may not mention somewhere in their Terms of Service or Privacy Policy that they use search monetization. But normally, you wouldn’t know that the extension you’re adding to your browser will force you to visit Mktsrc.com.

Some search-hijacking extensions even use deceptive installation tactics, such as adware bundlers, to install without your permission.

How to avoid search hijackers

Mktsrc.com is far from the only site that spreads with browser add-ons and takes over people’s searches. There’s Searchbaron.com, Searchmarquis.com, Nearbyme.io, Searchlee.com, Gotrovi.com, S3arch.page, etc. How can you protect yourself from all these predatory sites?

• Be careful on sites that show aggressive ads, such as pirating sites. They often advertise malicious software and browser hijackers.
• Block malicious websites and ads when you visit websites. You can use malicious site blockers and ad blockers.
• Don’t install suspicious apps and browser extensions. Make sure they’re safe first – scan with antivirus tools, read their ToS, etc. Download software from their home sites or from official app stores.

I mentioned that it’s possible to install a bad browser add-on unknowingly. This can happen thanks to adware bundlers, where potentially unwanted programs are installed alongside the program that you downloaded.

Another way in which hijackers are installed is with the help of misleading ads. For instance, illegal video streaming sites sometimes show ads that imply that you must install this or that extension if you want to keep watching videos for free.

It is not possible to always avoid adware infections. The important thing is to know how to get rid of them.

How to stop Mktsrc.com redirects

Search redirects to Mktsrc.com are caused by browser extensions or, possibly, apps. These don’t have to be newly installed extensions – they could have been recently updated to include the redirects to Mktsrc.com.

You can use anti-malware programs like Spyhunter for Windows, Spyhunter for Mac, Combo Cleaner for macOS, and others. They can detect potentially unwanted and malicious programs.

However, anti-malware tools aren’t always good at recognizing bad browser extensions. So, it’s important to check them out yourself. Below are instructions for how to review your browser extensions and remove them.

If you can’t seem to find which extension is causing the Mktsrc.com redirects, then disable all of them. Then, enable them one by one until Mktsrc.com comes back.

After removing the offending browser add-on, check your default search engine settings – make sure that no add-on is controlling this setting and that your favorite search engine is set as your default.
