I need help with the Get-Search.com thing, because I can’t seem to delete it from my computer. If I don’t delete it, I will always redirect my browser so that I cannot surf the Internet. There also will be many pop-up windows appearing suddenly, most of which are about advertising promotions. I don’t want Get-Search.com in my computer. How do I get rid of it?
Get-Search.com is not a normal domain you usually see but a false website built by its developers to hijack browsers in many computer users worldwide. It is able to take over your homepage, redirect you to some other places when you are visiting sites and help its developers to collect your browsing history for future use. Therefore, we call Get-Search.com a browser hijacker. In general, this hijacker will appear as a common URL or common search engine in your browser which seems to be able to provide you various resources on the Internet (see the screenshot below). Inexperienced computer users may be confused easily and start online activities from its site.

My windows laptop started having lots of pop-up ads, so I ran Malwarebytes and then it found Pum.bad.proxy from my computer. Malwarebytes quarantined it daily and then it reappeared soon. Everything on my computer is extremely slow now. My question is how to get rid of this virus completely without coming back? Any help will be highly appreciated.
Pum.bad.proxy is a virus produced by cyber criminals who attempt to trigger damaging activities on the affected operating system, being categorized as Trojan Horse. This virus can attack computers running with Windows XP, Windows Vista, Windows 7 or Windows 8 (8.1) operating system. It mainly gets installed on the target machine from email attachments and infected websites. Nowadays, there are thousands of computer viruses spreading over the Internet. Hackers often distribute this virus by attaching it to a mail and then spamming hundreds or even thousands of people. When computer users receive the spam email and open it without thinking twice, their computer may have been infected at that moment. Also if users don’t behave well when they are surfing online, they may get this virus from porn sites or other malicious web pages easily.

Hi there. I have a problem on my computer and need some help. Earlier today I found my browser didn’t work properly. When I was online, I got a lot of unwanted pop-up ads, and most frequently it showed me Simplepcfix.net pop-up asking me to download its program. I knew it could be a virus/adware that has been placed on my computer so I didn’t click on the ads. However, I can’t find a way to get rid of it. I scanned the computer over 4 hours and it showed me nothing suspicious. I am using a Dell laptop and Firefox is my default browser. I have tried a thousand times to correct my browser settings and delete cookies, it didn’t work at all. How do I get rid of Simplepcfix.net pop-up?
Simplepcfix.net Pop-up is associated with browser hijacker that can be placed on a target machine by bundling with other freeware or music programs downloaded from the Internet. It provides misleading information to trick users into downloading potentially unwanted program so whenever you browse online, you will see pop-up ads from this domain keeps convincing you its software is the perfect tool to fix all system issues though in reality it was not. Also you may see pop-up advertisements including discount coupons, deals, and other online offers at the same time that totally ruin your online usage and give you too much disruption. Now this pop-up can appear on any of the web browsers including IE, Firefox, Chrome and even Safari. Under no circumstance should you click on those ads, or you will get PUPs (also called Potentially Unwanted Programs) or malware installed on your machine immediately.

My AVG detects out a Trojan:Win32/Ficos.A virus in the system and the alerts keep popping up constantly to interrupt my work in the computer. What can this Trojan virus do in general? Why can’t the AVG take it out? Will it steal my private information? How do I get rid of this kind of Trojan infection?
Trojan:Win32/Ficos.A is classified as a Trojan virus from a large Trojan family. A Trojan virus, unlike malicious software and browser hijacker, cannot be seen clearly in the computer screen.

Hi there. So, I found out yesterday that my homepage has been taken over by something called SearchShock.com and I’ve been spending my morning searching all around to get answers of how to get rid of it. I am using Internet Explorer and Windows 7. This stuff keeps giving me pop-up ads asking me to buy its product. I have run security checks on my computer to check for viruses, but nothing is found. I checked my pop up settings and everything is set to be blocked, yet I still see all of these annoying ads. How do I change my homepage back to Google and remove all the annoying pop-up ads completely?
Is SearchShock.com taking over your homepage without your permission? Please be attention, if you encounter this issue now, then your computer may be already hijacked by some infections. We usually call this type of infection as browser hijacker or adware. Once it gets installed, it changes your homepage and default search engine to its page without getting your approval, no matter you are using Internet Explorer, Mozilla Firefox or Google Chrome. It is designed by cyber criminals in order to advertise commercial websites and increase their traffic. Even though this page seems harmless, if you enter a keyword to search information you want, you will find out this spam search engine only helps to advertise sponsored websites and display annoying. It does nothing to beneficial to you but tries to make chaos on your computer and interrupts your browsing activities. Considering this Search Shock thing has no ability to provide reliable search results, so you have to get rid of it as soon as possible.
