Soraxi.com virus - How to remove

Soraxi.com virus is a browser hijacker that can secretly infiltrate into random systems, change your homepage and default search engine and completely take over your browsing sessions. The program is compatible with Internet Explorer, Mozilla Firefox and Google Chrome. If you noticed that Soraxi.com was set as your homepage on one of your browsers and if you are experiencing constant browser crashes as well as find it hard to load websites, your browser has been hijacked.

Although the search tool claims to be powered by Google, the truth is, it will try to promote numerous commercial websites and create traffic for them. Whenever you make a search, you will see sponsored pages listed instead of search results relevant to your search keywords. Furthermore, you may receive random ads that contain links to sponsored or even malicious websites.

Beware that the creators of Soraxi.com virus may be spreading computer viruses to your system by redirecting you to compromised pages. If you have noticed this hijacker, you should get rid of it before your system gets infected even worse. If you wonder how to prevent Soraxi.com virus, pay attention to what links you are clicking on (especially in emails). Also if you are installing new programs to your computer, always choose custom or advanced setup and follow every installation step. If you see any suggestions to add another tool or change your homepage, refuse them. Usually you will have to deselect these options, otherwise, the changes may be applied automatically.

To remove Soraxi.com virus, go to Control Panel, Add/Remove programs list and uninstall anything related to this domain from there. Some versions of this hijacker install software that blocks browser settings from changing. To identify them, scanning with Spyhunter or other reputable antispyware tool might be useful. Then you can uninstall the extensions and reset settings in your browsers.
