Websearch.searchplazanow.info

We can all agree that adware is annoying, but browser hijackers are on a whole different level. Unlike adware, browser hijackers enter the computer using covert methods, but the user will be fully aware of its presence once it is installed, because it will immediately change the homepage and search engine. Furthermore, the changes made by a browser hijacker are not so easy to change back. Websearch.searchplazanow.info is both annoying and dangerous and you should delete it in order keep your computer safe. We must warn users that this hijacker has a lot of clones that basically perform the same functions.

Its clones include Websearch.thesearchpage.info, Websearch.searchtheglobe.info, Websearch.helpmefindyour.info, and many others that share a similar name. As mentioned, it enters the system secretly without the user having the slightest idea that it’s there. Once the hijacker enters the computer it immediately changes browser’s homepage and search engine to Websearch.searchplazanow.info, making it impossible for the user to change the modifications via browser settings, because after resetting he browser, the hijacker will change them back to Websearch.searchplazanow.info. We think that the user must not tolerate this hijacker and should delete it as soon as possible.

It must be noted that the primary purpose of Websearch.searchplazanow.info is to force the user to use its website and search engine.

Apart from unreliable ads, the hijacker has the ability to alter search results that promote certain websites, which might redirect you to infected pages. The main reason the user should remove Websearch.searchplazanow.info is that it can spy on the user.
