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

Browser hijackers are very annoying malicious parasites that can turn your browsing into a hellish experience. If you frequently get redirected to the my-search.com website, it means that your browser has been hijacked. The MySearch redirects are not the only thing you will experience. Symptoms of a hijacker infection also include a sudden advertisement attack, as well as unauthorized modifications of browser settings.

Victims of the malware will notice that their homepage and search provider have been replaced by the same webpage. What’s more, their browser will soon turn into an ad-displaying tool. No matter which site you visit, you will get bombarded with numerous ads in different forms – pop-ups, in-text, blinking messages, banners. Their main goal is to make the user click on them. Such task will prove to be very easy, thanks to the hijacker’s ability to obtain victim’s web data like browsing history, surfing habits and search queries. This is done in order to provide advertisement content that the user is most likely to click on.

Browser hijackers are very sneaky. However, they cannot infiltrate your computer on their own. They need your help to do so. Often, users unknowingly grant such malicious parasites access to their personal information. This can happen through opening spam email messages or email attachments and executable files from unknown senders. Other means of hijacker distribution include free software bundles, fake update requests, corrupted torrent files, infected links and adverts.

We recommend our readers to always get their software updates from licensed and reliable sources only. It is a mistake to trust a random pop-up that tries to make you follow a suspicious link in order to update a program on your computer. Also, when you download software from the internet, the smart thing to do is to opt for a Custom or Advanced type of installation. This way you can simply deselect any additional software that was not properly disclosed and you never had the intention to download to begin with.

Browser hijackers infect only your browser, not the entire computer system. That’s why they are not considered to be real viruses. However, that doesn’t mean they are harmless. Make no mistake. This malicious parasite is capable of doing damages. Symptoms of a hijacker infection include slow internet connection, frequent crashes and freezes of the browser, the installation of dubious add-ons, extensions and toolbars without the knowledge or consent of the user.

At some point, the victim’s browser will fail to display all of the ads generated by the hijacker. Eventually, the browser will stop working altogether. Browser hijackers put your online security and privacy in jeopardy. If you want to return to a safe and ad-free browsing experience, follow our instructions below, in order to get rid of this malicious parasite.
