Hi there, my web browser Chrome starts going crazy and I need some help. Every time I open the browser, Websearch.flyandsearch.info pops up and takes over my homepage. My homepage was Yahoo before and now this Web Search thing will not allow me to reset my homepage. Also whenever I was online, I am starting to get a lot of pop ups on a daily basis. I never had this situation before. So how do I change my homepage and get rid of all these annoying pop-up ads?
Websearch.flyandsearch.info is a browser hijacker which masquerades itself as a legitimate and trustworthy search engine and forces users to set it as the default homepage or search provider. Although this page looks convincing, you should not be taken in for it is a spam search engine that does nothing but deliver ads. Actually browser hijackers are not malicious, however they are annoying, and they can leave your computer to be more vulnerable attacked by different types of malicious software. Even though it doesn’t belong to a virus, this hijacker still has a number of undesirable and irritating features that antivirus cannot stop. Once installed, it will change your browser homepage to Websearch.flyandsearch.info and set the default search engine to Web Search. If you really enter a key word to perform a search, you will see various advertisements and sponsored links in your search results. Also this useless Web Search may collect search terms from your search queries. It is a risk for your privacy and computer security.

Hi there, I have been suffering from a bad thing called GorillaPrice which I cannot find a way to get rid of it. 2 days ago, when I went to one certain website a popup came up wanting me to download an Adobe Flash Updater. I have not clicked to download this because I knew it could be a virus/adware that will be placed on my computer. However, it still put GorillaPrice to my computer without my approval, giving me crazy ads while I was online. I tried to uninstall it, then a window popped up in my browser asking to download the uninstaller manager, and I’m obviously not taking any risks with that. Is there other way to remove GorillaPrice?
GorillaPrice is a browser plugin that can be installed on a target machine by bundling with other freeware or music programs downloaded from the Internet. It is used for distributing third-party products and can be very annoying because it can keep displaying pop-up ads and advertisements on web pages that you visit. Although it claims it can save money whilst shopping online, there is no doubt that soon enough you will get tired of this program and decide to remove it for the only thing this program does is to generate various pop-up ads to interrupt your browsing activities. Those pop-up ads will be shown as boxes containing various coupons that are available, as underlined keywords, pop-up ads or advertising banners. If you click any of them, you may get other PUPs (also called Potentially Unwanted Programs) or malware installed on your machine.

Every time I try to reset my home page Istart123.com keeps coming back as my default homepage. I need to get rid of it. I have tried to uninstall internet explorer and re-install IE to get rid of it but it didn’t work. I also tried to reset my browser setting, it still did the same thing. Is it a virus? Norton says my computer is clean. I am confused now. How do I remove this hijacker?
Technically speaking, Istart123.com redirect is not a virus, however if you found your homepage or default search engine taken over by this page without your permission, then it is likely a browser hijacker is already running in your computer. Usually a browser hijacker is designed to promote online products and increase artificial website traffic so it can change your default search engine provider, homepage and even track your web searches. Also it can add unwanted browser extensions, toolbars, browser plugins, and other unwanted things to your system, occupying system resource and making your computer work slowly. In most cases, users install this hijacker themselves from some malicious web pages. Of course it won’t claim itself as a “hijacker“, it will pretend as a useful extension and then arrive bundled with freeware applications, such as shareware games or various video players. It is extremely annoying that you cannot go to the website you want and Istart123.com loads up every time you boot up the system.

Now this Worm is known to attack Windows computer like Windows XP, Windows Vista, Windows 7 or Windows 8 or even crash a server. It is very aggressive and capable of blocking most the security tools. Each time you tried to get rid of the virus, antivirus will become unresponsive or give you an error instead.
