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

Are your homepage and search engine suddenly gone? Is the Search.searchttab.com site in their places? If the answer to both questions is yes, we have bad news for you. There is a browser hijacker on your computer. The pest managed to slither in in silence and now it is causing problems from the shadows. Needless to say, you need to remove it ASAP. The appearance of the Search.searchttab.com page is your first clue. Once you see it taking over your browsers, accept that fact you are dealing with a hijacker and start looking for its hiding place.

Do not confuse the infection for the Search.searchttab.com site. The hijacker is somewhere on your machine and the page is just its front. Find it and remove it immediately. Hijackers don’t make for pleasant tenants. All they do is irritate like you wouldn’t believe and expose you to threats on daily basis. Don’t waste any time as the longer the pest stays, the bigger the chance for it to get out of hand gets.

As we said, the infection makes changes in your browsers` settings without any permission of yours. That’s why you are stuck with the Search.searchttab.com site as your new search engine. You get redirected to the page all the time as well. It becomes your online shadow. And it is not alone. You are also forced to visit others just as shady sites too. And, your search results are now corrupted. The hijacker`s goal is to boost traffic to particular pages and generate pay-per-click revenue. That’s why all you see are unreliable web links. Finding what you are searching for becomes impossible. You are constantly interrupted and redirected.

The pest may also generate adverts. Your entire browsing experience gets ruined. You are so annoyed that not using your PC at all seems like the better option. And you are kind of right. The more you use the machine while the pest is on board, the bigger malware risk you face. The links as ads you see are dangerous. They cannot be trusted. Only the fact that they are displayed by an infection should be enough for you to get that. One single click on the wrong link/ad and you download more parasites on your already compromised computer.

This doesn’t sound fun, does it? But there is more. As long as the hijacker remains, consider your private life no longer private. The parasite spies on you using your browsers and collects personal information. Then, when it deems it has enough, it sends it to the crooks who published it. You see where we are going with this, don’t you? Don’t put up with this nonsense. Use our removal instructions at the end of this article and remove the hijacker now. The sooner, the better.

How did you get infected? You are not going to like the answer, though. You got infected because you were careless and the hijacker managed to trick you. This pest is still a program and it needs your permission to get installed. Obviously, you gave it and you don’t even remember. Carelessness, right there! Yes, the infection did not seek approval straightforwardly but this is not an excuse. You have to pay more attention. It is your safety on the line here.

Be careful what you agree to and don’t agree before you read it first. Don’t click on every ad/link you see sparkling before your eyes. Don’t open emails from strangers. Take the time to read the fine print when you are installing programs. Don’t give your consent lightly. What crooks want the most, is your negligence. Don’t provide.
