The Websearch.live page is bad news for your system. It indicates the presence of a browser hijacker. Needless to say, you have to take measures. Hijackers don’t make for pleasant tenants. On the contrary. They cause nothing but troubles and unpleasantries. As soon as the page shows up, take it as a warning. Accept that there is a parasite on your machine and start looking for it.

Once you are done reading, you will be more than convinced that the pest has to go. It was never meant to be beneficial to you. It is beneficial to crooks. Cut the infection`s stay short and save yourself tons of problems.

Once the hijacker enters, it doesn’t waste time. It gets to work immediately. Your browsers are its first target. All of them. The pest makes changes in their settings without any permission of yours. It doesn’t need your approval that’s why it doesn’t ask. It doesn’t even inform you of the modifications it makes. You learn about them once they have already been made. Like the replacement of your homepage and search engine, for instance. Now the Websearch.live page in their places and you cannot change them back. Keep in mind that your new engine does not provide safe results. It mostly shows you sponsored, corrupted ones and if you click, you worsen your situation by risking to download more malware.

Aside from the above-mentioned, you are bombarded with tons of annoying commercials on daily basis. Your entire screen is covered with banners, coupons, deals, offers, pop-ups, etc. The ads are not safe either. They also serve hacker`s malicious purpose to get rich via the pay-per-click mechanism. Do you see how all of this turns your browsing experience into a nightmare? You cannot get any work done online as you are constantly interrupted. But your offline activities are also affected. Your machine, in general, is underperforming. It is slow and it crashes often. Programs don’t load properly. Your internet speed slows down. Your browsers freeze, etc. All of this because of the hijacker. Remove it and everything will get back to normal. As we said, use our instructions below and regain control over your computer.

How did you get infected with this? The hijacker didn’t appear out of thin air. It was installed. By you. You probably don’t remember doing that but it is only because the infection tricked you into giving it permission. That’s what pests do. They turn to tricks like spam email messages, corrupted pages and links, unverified torrents, freeware bundles, fake program updates, etc. All of these can be prevented from succeeding, though.

If you are attentive enough and don’t give into haste, distraction, and carelessness. Pay more attention to what you agree to and what you click on. Always read the term and conditions before accepting. Avoid shady pages and questionable links. Your negligence is what hackers pray for the most. Don’t make yourself an even easier target by providing it. Do the opposite and keep your machine safe. The web is full of infections waiting for you to make the wrong move. Don’t! Always be vigilant!
