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

The Search.whiteskyservices.com redirect is known for being a sign that your computer has been infected by a browser hijacker. Victims of such malicious infection will notice a sudden replacement of their homepage, new tab pages and preferred search engine to the same shady website. What’s more, the hijacker will launch an annoying ad attack on the unsuspecting user.

The victim’s screen will get flooded with numerous ads and pop-ups, often in the form of special offers and deals, exclusive sales and coupons, all sorts of attractive blinking messages and fake update requests. Thanks to the browser hijacker’s ability to obtain user’s web history, browsing habits and search queries, such advertisements will be specifically targeted to appear appealing to the users, so they are most likely to click on them. The main goal here is to create pay-per-click revenue.

The most common means of browser hijacker distribution are spam email messages, email attachments, fake updates, free software bundles, dubious links and ads, corrupt torrent files, etc. It is important to be careful when you receive emails from unknown senders. Clicking on spam letters with attachments often leads to a malware infection of some sort. We recommend our readers to avoid opening spam messages because more often than not, they prove to cause trouble.

Also, it is best to choose Advanced or Custom mode in the Setup Wizard when you download software from the internet. This will give you full control over the installation process and you can easily deselect any unwanted software that you find suspicious or never wanted to download to begin with.

Browser hijackers are not considered to be very dangerous. That still does not mean that they are harmless. Sure, they are not real viruses because they attack your browser only, not the entire computer system. But the consequences of a hijacked browser may have an effect to the entire PC. Symptoms of such malicious infection are slow internet connection, slow performance of the browser.

Users will notice that minimizing and maximizing a window will happen slower than usual. But most importantly, because of the hijacker’s malicious activity, a normal browsing experience will soon prove to be impossible. The longer this malware stays on your computer, the more ads it will generate and thus overload the browser to a point where it will start crashing or freezing frequently. In order to get rid of this nasty Search.whiteskyservices.com hijacker, we advise you to follow our detailed instructions below.
