There are many malwares which are running alongside browsers.They are the browser hijackers.When downloading and installing free games and softwares these malwares get installed.You may see that your default search engine is automatically changed.We may never even heard of the search engines that have been set default.And the other thing,tool bars.You'll see a few toolbar installed automatically too.It is a great threat to your personal data, specially when you are shopping online.
The problem is anti viruses don't detect these softwares.They see it as a normal third party software.And we cannot uninstall these like other plugins.So we have to remove this by ourselves.
- First go to Settings of your web browser.
- Then change you home page to www.google.lk or something that you prefer.
- Remove all the URLs in the browser that you don't know.
- And also remove all the toolbar plugins.
- Go to start and search msconfig.(XP users type msconfig.msc in run)
- Select Start up tab.
- Uncheck all the programs that you don't know.
- Open command prompt (Type cmd in start menu).
- Type 'del %temp%\*.exe /s /q' without quotes and press enter.(You can copy this and paste it in CMD by right click)
- Then type 'del %temp%\*.dll /s /q' without quotes.
