What is Vitosc.xyz

Adware

Does your browser open Vitosc.xyz whenever you search the internet for something? That’s a sign that a potentially unwanted program (adware) was installed on your computer. More specifically, a browser extension that infiltrated your computer thanks to misleading ads. It’s advised to uninstall this browser extension, take back control over your internet search, and get rid of Vitosc.xyz.

Vitosc.xyz is a part of an adware scheme. Most search engines (Google, Bing, and others) show ads with their search results to make money. But Vitosc.xyz has more of them than we’re used to. Moreover, Vitosc.xyz is a really bad search engine: no tools, no features like filtering by date or type of result. It’s just a bad product. Nobody deliberately chooses to use Vitosc.xyz – they’re forced to do it by malware in their browser.

Browser hijacker

Vitosc.xyz search is planted in your browser via a browser extension, one similar to Power App or MSrch. These browser extensions get banned from Chrome’s Web Store pretty frequently, but new ones are made often. They don’t do much, just change your search settings to Vitosc.xyz. And they have very plain names and icons so as to appear insignificant.

If you open your browser, open the menu on the right, and choose Settings, then click on Search engine – that should tell you which browser extension is in control of your default search engine.

Besides, the Vitosc.xyz extension can read your browsing history. This includes the site that you visited other than Vitosc.xyz. It’s useful data – it’s sold and traded with advertisers and other companies that want to target people.

Dishonest installation

Dishonest ads are employed to spread Vitosc.xyz. Ads that pop up on sites with free movies and TV shows, as well as sites that let you download stuff for free. These ads tell you that you need to install this or download that in order to watch your video or download your file. The ads are deliberately misleading. People install the bad extensions because they don’t realize that they just saw ads – they think those were genuine warnings.

Thus, more people are tricked into going to Vitosc.xyz when they search the internet. Vitosc.xyz wasn’t even really made from scratch – it’s a Google Custom Search engine, which can be used for free by anyone. And then Vitosc.xyz’s results are filled with ads, making the people behind it a profit for little effort. It’s completely unfair and you shouldn’t have to deal with it.

Vitosc.xyz is a type of SearchGG, also known as QxSearch. Other Vitosc.xyz-like sites include Owsc.xyz, Vprx.xyz, and others, many of which are defunct as new ones are created to replace them.

How to stop Vitosc.xyz search

You just need to find out which extension is the one to be removed. You can do it by scanning your computer with an antivirus program, like Spyhunter for PC, Combo Cleaner for Mac, or another program that you trust. Just make sure to use an antivirus that can detect potentially unwanted programs.
