How to remove Radio-searches.com

Remove RadioSearches

Radio-searches.com is a website, but the reason why your browser is going to it is that a browser extension called RadioSearches changed your browser’s search settings. Remove RadioSearches, maybe check your default search settings, and then Radio-searches.com will stop loading.

To remove RadioSearches, open your web browser, the same program that you’re using to read this post. Then open its main menu (top right or top left corner), settings/preferences, and then the extensions section. More detailed instructions, including screenshots, can be found at the bottom of this page. But you should be able to see all the browser extensions installed on your browser, including RadioSearches, as well as the buttons to remove them or disable them.

There are some cases in which a malicious browser extension can’t be removed. You might see a warning that your browser is “managed” or under the control of an organization. That makes things a bit more complicated, but it is solvable: “Installed by enterprise policy” (fake).

Remove other hijackers

Is your browser fine after removing RadioSearches? Browser hijackers and other unfriendly programs tend to spread in groups, so it is likely that Radio-searches.com wasn’t the only problem. While you’re on the extensions page, check the other items there. If there’s something that looks unfamiliar to you, you might want to remove it, as well. Remember that your web browser should be under your control and you don’t have to allow any strange add-ons if you don’t want to, no matter how useful or helpful they present as.

The same goes for your computer. You can check your programs and browser extensions manually, then remove anything suspicious. You can also look for malware by scanning your device with an anti-malware program, such as Combo Cleaner for macOS, Spyhunter for Windows, and others.

Fix browser settings

Radio-searches.com asks visitors to allow its notifications. If pop-ups from Radio-searches.com show up on your screen, you can open this post: How to disable Web Push Notifications. It has info on how to block notifications from specific sites like Radio-searches.com or how to block notification prompts completely.

After RadioSearches was removed, it might have left some traces, such as a changed default search engine setting. Instructions for changing your search engine (the site your browser uses to search the internet by default) can also be found at the bottom. Pick the site that you want to use, whether it’s Google, Bing, or something other.

How Radio-searches.com spreads

Radio-searches.com pretty much only does one thing: redirects your search queries to Yahoo.com. It does log your queries, too, as well as some other data that can be used to target advertising to you based on your behavior. But in the end, Radio-searches.com has no attractive features that would make it worth using. So why was it getting an estimated 4 million visits last month? Why is RadioSearches installed by tens of thousands of users?

The same goes for Radio-searches.com’s relatives, browser hijackers like Pdfconverter-search.com and others.

One explanation is that Radio-searches.com spreads by tricking people. Victims often don’t even realize that Radio-searches.com is in their browsers because it sneaks in or tricks its way in.

Sometimes, browser hijackers spread by being bundled with or embedded in the installers of other programs like advertising booklets tucked into a magazine before being put into your postbox. Be careful whenever you download and install something from a download site.

Radio-searches.com is advertised online with pop-ups and redirects. Its ads look like warnings or orders to install it. They look so authoritative and official that some people think these are warnings by their web browser. In reality, they’re just ads! You can block malicious ads with ad-blockers and some anti-malware programs, but there’s no perfect solution. It’s more important to remember that you don’t ever have to install anything that you don’t trust.
