Wsys Control - How to remove

Wsys Control is a malicious browser plugin that is related to Delta Search, Delta-Homes, QVO6 and other browser hijackers. Once inside, the program modifies home pages, “New Tab” pages and default search engines on Internet Explorer, Mozilla Firefox and Google Chrome in order to push various sponsored websites when computer users make searches online. Wsys Control is usually added to computers together with free software that do not properly disclose about the changes that this program is going to make. So most of the times users don’t know about this download until they start noticing its activity.

Because of the methods it uses to enter computers and the fact that it hijacks searches, Wsys Control is categorized as malicious software. Once inside, the program adds a background controller service that is set to run automatically. It also doesn’t allow you to use any other search engines or restore other settings of your browser that easily. Clearly, this way Wsys Control tries to protect itself from being removed. In addition, the program can also spy on your browsing habits and pass this data to the third parties.

If you want to avoid Wsys Control and prevent your browsers from being hijacked, you are advised to be more careful with your downloads. Many browser plugins are distributed with freeware or shareware, so it is highly important to follow installations steps of these programs and make sure you understand what you agree to get. Always choose Custom installation where you will be able to make changes in some settings of the installation.

Remove Wsys Control from your computer if you have noticed its activity. You may also want to have a look at removal instructions of Delta Search, removal instructions of Delta-homes and removal instructions of QVO6 virus.
