Openmediasoft Redirect Virus - How to remove

Openmediasoft Redirect Virus is a browser hijacker that hinders navigating the Internet and performing searches. Instead of getting to wanted web pages a user of an infected computer is taken to its domain or other unknown websites. As all of this type viruses, Openmediasoft Redirect Virus modifies browser’s Internet settings once installed into the system. Commonly a home page and a search page of a computer attacked are changed to search.openmediasoft.com. Although the latter search page uses Google logo, it is not the original search engine but only a version of it that gets paid for every click. Due to this reason a website wants to attract as much traffic as possible.

Some methods that are being used for Openmediasoft Redirect Virus distribution are not fair since these do not let a computer user choose whether to have the toolbar or not. For example, users may get infected after browsing through insalubrious websites. As many other browser hijackers, Openmediasoft Redirect Virus is also known to be distributed via attachments in spam e-mails. It might also come bundled with fake applications.

It is recommended to remove Openmediasoft Redirect Virus because it not only forwards all Internet inquiries to search.openmediasoft.com and displays lots of pop-up ads but also monitors your activities on the net. The data is later sent to third parties and might be used for various purposes, such as selecting advertisements targeted at particular likes.

For those wanting to uninstall Openmediasoft Redirect Virus and everything related to it automatically, it is recommended to use software like spyhunter and Hitman Pro. It will not only eliminate the toolbar itself but also restore your default search provider. Otherwise you will have to do it manually. Note simple uninstall wizard is not enough for a complete removal of this browser hijacker.
