Quickstart.ninja virus - How to remove

Quickstart.ninja impersonates Bing.com in order to convince people that they are being redirected to the legitimate version. However, the address of this search engine should be a dead giveaway that this is not the official version of Bing search. Developers of Quickstart.ninja website are unknown as there is not contact information, nor we could find an EULA document or a Privacy Policy. This lack of terms and conditions means that your visit can be giving a permission to the controllers of Quickstart.ninja to monitor your online activity or pursue other suspicious activities/changes as well. This bogus Bing search should not be utilized as it can tamper with the results to search queries, automatically transfer to sponsored/content websites and jeopardize cyber security in more than one way.

Points to discuss about Quickstart.ninja virus

Quickstart.ninja website features an official logo of Bing search, but its other elements of appearance differ from the original page. The unique Bing search contains beautiful background imagery, allows to set different languages and contains all of the necessary documentation. In the case of Quickstart.ninja virus, its search platform is clearly inferior. However, it has a feature of entering computer devices without authorization and modifying browsers’ settings without bothering to request for permission. Provided you encounter Quickstart.ninja website as your preference, there are almost no doubts that a browser hijacker has pulled all of the strings to become active in your device.

If your search queries are not handled properly, your browsing becomes a wild-goose chase. Little-known and potentially unstable search platforms will introduce its users to the content it chooses to promote. It can be slipped into the results to search queries which means that some of the displayed links can lead to risky domains. Additionally, there is a possibility of being exposed to scams in forms of online advertisements. Pop-ups and banners can be featured in the websites you visit or be generated separately as banners or pop-ups. Quickstart.ninja virus can bomb you with a series of advertisements that will continue as long as you remain infected with a browser hijacker.

Considering that Quickstart.ninja virus masquerades as Bing Search and ventures to go undetected as a rogue search platform, we recommend that users that are repetitively redirected to Quickstart.ninja and have its search engine as their home pages, default search providers and new tab pages, would now turn to finding out more about the possible tricks to omit this search platform from their browsing.

One of the options to take out a browser hijacker is to follow the guidelines for a manual removal. However, if you are worried about the additional malware samples that might have been installed into your system, we recommend to select an automatic option. It is supported by anti-malware tools. If you do not have such an application in your device, we suggest you get one immediately. Spyhunter and Malwarebytes are the tools we recommend to treat your device from malware.
