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

BarQuery.com is a malicious domain. It claims that it will enhance your online experience by providing safe and accurate search results but it doesn’t deliver on that promise. In actuality, this site is an indication that something is wrong with your machine. Don’t ignore that warning. It`s your clue to make measures. As soon as you spot the page taking over, accept that you have a browser hijacker on board and start looking for a way out.

Trust us, hijackers don’t make for good companions. They bring nothing but trouble to you, your system, your online activities, your machine, and your privacy. The more time the pest spends on board, the more damage it will be able to cause. Cut its stay short. Find the exact spot it is hiding and remove it. The sooner you do so, the better. Everything will get back to normal. If you, however, ignore the threat this parasite poses, it won`t be too long before you regret that decision.

Once the hijacker is on board, you will see the BarQuery.com site all the time. It even replaces your homepage and search engine. You realize what this means, don’t you? Your search results are now corrupted. Most of them anyway. You don’t know which ones are real and which aren’t. But if you happen to click on the wrong link, there will be consequences. You can easily compromise your safety even more. A single click on a compromised link is all it takes for you to invite more malware on board. This is not all. The hijacker also injects your browsers with ads. Every time you so much as touch Mozilla, Chrome or Internet Explorer, you get buried with numerous commercial. Needless to say, this is not a pleasant experience.

Your browsers struggle to display content properly. All you see are banners, coupons, deals, offers, pop-ups, video ads, etc. and etc. Your screen is completely covered with advertisements. Can you imagine getting any work done online while being interrupted all the time? Your browsers also freeze. Pages take ages to load. You are redirected to other sites non-stop. But your problems are not restrained to online activities only.

Your machine, in general, suffers, so you are having problems using it offline as well. It crashes and reboots frequently. Programs don’t open, and so on and so forth. And like this is not enough, the hijacker also jeopardizes your safety by spying on you and threatening to expose your personal details to the people who published it. The question is are you going to sit idly by and let it, or are you going to step up and remove it? This is rhetorical, of course. Remove it. Now! Use our guide below and get rid of this plague immediately.

How did the hijacker enter? These parasites need your permission to get in. No permission, no admission. Yes, this means that, at some point, you gave the infection green light and you didn`t even realize it. This is because the pest doesn’t ask straightforwardly. It uses sneaky tactics to trick you. Tactics like freeware/shareware bundles, fake program updates, spam emails, compromised pages and links, unverified download sources, etc.

With any of these methods, the pest tries to go around you. And it succeeds but only because you are carelessness enough to let it. Infections pray for your negligence, haste, and distraction. They cannot get in without them. No tactic is good enough to work without them. So, why provide them? Don’t. Be vigilant instead. Be doubting. Be careful what you agree to. Don’t make yourself an even easier target.
