I wrote this article to help you remove Nitratory.com. This Nitratory.com removal guide works for Chrome, Firefox and Internet Explorer.
Do you constantly get redirected to the Nitratory.com website? If that is so, it looks like your browser has been invaded by a nasty browser hijacker. This parasite takes control over your web browsers and modifies their settings to its liking. It might even install other malicious add-ons, extensions or toolbars. But that’s not all. Your homepage, new tab pages and even preferred search engine will be replaced by the same questionable page.
What’s more, every time you go online, you’ll get bombarded with numerous intrusive ads in all forms – pop-ups, banners, in-text, blinking alert messages, etc. In order to ensure that you’ll click on them, the hijacker will obtain your web information like browsing history and habits, as well as search queries, to better customize the promoted content, so it appears more attractive to the soon-to-be victim.
Browser hijackers are known to lurk behind spam email messages, email attachments and executable files, free software bundles, corrupt torrent files, fake update requests, infected links and ads. When dealing with software that you’ve downloaded from the internet, we strongly suggest that you opt for a Custom/Advanced type of installation. This way, you will be able to view the full content of what you’re about to install on your PC.
If you notice any optional installations, we highly recommend that you deselect them because chances are, they are malware in disguise, trying to sneak into your computer unnoticed. Also, be extra careful when you stumble across random update pop-ups. They often lead to shady sources that will not lead you to the update you so desire. Instead, rely on official and licensed sources only.
Browser hijackers are not widely considered to be ‘real viruses’. That’s because they limit their attack to browsers only, not the computer system itself. No browser is immune to the power of the nasty hijacker. Mozilla Firefox, Google Chrome, Opera, Safari, Microsoft Edge, Internet Explorer – if you have them on your computer, you can be sure that the malware has infected them. It does not stop with only one infected browser.
The more time you waste, the more damages this parasite will be able to do. That’s why you need to act quickly and get rid of this menace before it is able to steal your personal information and unable you from using your browser entirely. If you are unsure of how to proceed with the removal of this annoying pest, you can follow our detailed instructions below.
