I wrote this article to help you remove Mysearch24.com. This Mysearch24.com removal guide works for Chrome, Firefox and Internet Explorer.

Mysearch24.com is a website which you don’t want to see. If the page is harassing you all the time, we have bad news for you. You are infected with a nasty browser hijacker and this page is its way of announcing its presence. You, however, should take Mysearch24.com`s appearance as a warning as that’s what it really is. As soon as you spot it starting to plague your browsers, take action. Find the exact spot where the hijacker is hiding and delete it immediately. This pest is not something you would want on your system. It`s a menace. The longer it stays, the more problems it causes. And these problems grow in both number and severity.

It all starts with your browsing experience. The hijacker turns it to a nightmare. Every time you surf the Web you suffer interruptions. The Mysearch24.com becomes your online shadow. It appears all the time. When you open your browsers, it is there. You open a new tab, it is there. You type in a search, the page pops up among the results. When you try loading another site, you somehow get redirected back to this malicious one. No matter what you do, you cannot get rid of it. The site even replaces your previous homepage and search engine. Needless to say, you were neither asked for nor informed for about any of these changes.

The thing is, the pest doesn’t need your approval to make reshuffles. You only see them once they have already been done. The same goes for the ads you are flooded with. You didn’t agree about this, but the hijacker bombards you with countless annoying advertisements all the time. They additionally make your web surfing harder. They cover your whole screen and block pages` content. Sometimes they pop up right under the cursor of your mouse. You have to do your best to stay away from everything generated by this pest as it is potentially dangerous.

The Mysearch24.com Virus

Let`s take the commercials, for example. They are sponsored which means that they can easily lead you to very dangerous pages. One wrong click and you download more pests on your machine. Not only that, though. Each one of your clicks also brings crooks money. Yes. They rely on the pay-per-click method to earn profits and they couldn’t care less about your safety. Stay away from everything the hijacker displays unless you want to compromise your already compromised and underperforming PC even more. And yet, there is one more thing.

The pest exposes your privacy to danger. It spies on you, monitoring every online move you make and collecting sensitive data. Then, when is decides it has enough, it sends it all to the cybercriminals who published it. The question is are you going to sit idly by and let this happen, or are you going to step up and protect your personal information. We suggest you do the latter. Delete the hijacker now. To do so manually, use our detailed removal guide at the end of this article.

However, how did Mysearch24.com appear in the first place? The hijacker forced it on you. And how did the hijacker itself appear? It is safe to say that it didn’t pop out of the blue. No. The virus is bound to seek your permission on its installment. And it does, in fact, ask for it. But in the sneakiest way possible. For instance, via spam email messages, fake program updates, freeware bundles, corrupted links/torrents, third-party ads, etc. Using one of these tactics, the infection seeks approval and you, being distracted and careless, give it without knowing what you are inviting on board.

Be more attentive. What all parasites need the most in order to succeed is your negligence. None of the above-mentioned methods would work without it. Don’t grant it. Don’t ease crooks` job by making yourself an even easier target. Prevention is always the better and easier option that dealing with a pest once it has already infected you. Don’t forget that.
