PackageTrackerExpress.com Virus - How to remove

PackageTrackerExpress.com is a pop-up attacking Google Chrome, Mozilla Firefox, and possibly other browsers. Its mission is to promote Package Tracker Express browser extension that allows you to track all of your packages from major carriers, from one easy-to-use New Tab page. The add-on developers claim that they may help you track international packages, as well as local carriers. It also allows you to track your deliveries from multiple websites, no matter how many products were ordered by you.

However, by installing the extension you give your permission to abide by its EULA and Privacy Policy, as well as some other legal documents. According to the detailed analysis, Package Tracker Express browser add-on additionally modifies various browser settings that no longer allow you to browse the web according to the settings selected by you. The extension will now be in control of these important parameters. It additionally tracks a lot of personal information about you, not only the data related to your packages. Considering these arguments, PackageTrackerExpress.com is not a reliable resource and needs to be removed along with all the software it promotes.

PackageTrackerExpress.com pop-up source

Many people currently complain that they see PackageTrackerExpress.com pop-ups randomly in their browser. They mention that it was not their direct decision to visit the page. The pop-up appeared randomly in the browser and brought them to the website. After closing the window, the sequence of other similar alerts came up. It is obvious that there is some specific software that produces unwanted browser redirections to random websites, including the one promoting Package Tracker Express Extension.

The adware that results in suspicious browser activity may control a lot of your browser settings and produce an extremely negative impact on the system performance in general. Redirection to PackageTrackerExpress.com is not the worst thing that could happen as a result of the adware hijacking your browser, so it is recommended that you immediately take the measures to clean your computer.

Is Package Tracker Express a valuable service

The functions of package tracking advertised by PackageTrackerExpress.com are definitely helpful. Unfortunately, the authors of the extension do not really disclose that installing it will cause other browser amendments. This information may be provided in the additional setup details by clicking on the “Advanced” or “Custom” installation mode. The problem is that many people skip reading these important facts and agree with all the default options when they proceed with the installation. This automatically hijacks the browser. The extension starts controlling its functionality. Your personal preferences are not respected by Package Tracker Express anymore.

Package Tracker Express changes your browser settings in the following manner:

• modifying the default home page parameter;
• replacing your default search engine from Google to Yahoo or other third-party providers;
• substituting the blank new tab with Package Tracker Express New Tab.

Once the browser is hijacked, the extension additionally displays the set of annoying advertisement banners and sponsored links while you browse the web. This way the developers of the extension get the revenue for promoting third-party websites. Unfortunately, the search results delivered by Package Tracker Express may lead you to dangerous resources and expose your privacy. The extension will track your personal information and may grant it to third parties in an illegal way. Hence, the quicker you get rid of it, the better.

How to remove Package Tracker Express

There are three important steps to eliminate the negativity caused by the extension:

• uninstalling unwanted software;
• disabling and deleting suspicious browser extensions;
• scanning with the reliable anti-virus software.

All the above-mentioned steps are important. The first two milestones imply manual system cleanup. Completing them will fix the majority of browser problem and should restore your settings back to the initial preferences. Additional system cleanup with reliable security software is yet another important step to accomplish. Certain infections cannot be discovered manually, however, they will continue their negative activity even when visually the system is clean. We recommend that you scan your computer with the proven anti-malware to make sure your workstation is definitely free of malware remnants.
