Help needed ASAP! I think I have accidentally installed some kind of a browser virus… Now my homepage is set to Search.di-cmf.com URL, which says “Localhost by SaferBrowser” in the top right corner. What is it and why has this page replaced the previous homepage? I want to get it back!

Search.di-cmf.com is actually a name of a potentially unwanted program (PUP), which is assigned to 'browser hijackers' group. When this program enters the computer system (it can be installed together with some free programs), it adds a browser extension to every Internet browser that exists on the affected computer. This extension changes browser's homepage and sets a new default search engine - Search.di-cmf.com. Search.di-cmf.com hijacker is considered to be a PUP due to the following reasons:
1. Search.di-cmf.com browser hijackers loads web pages slowly;
2. It provides a corrupted web search engine that may cause Search.di-cmf.com redirects to high-risk websites;
3. It may deliver multiple pop-up or banner ads during your browsing sessions;
4. It does not provide accurate search results.
We suggest replacing this doubtful search engine with other and more reliable one, for example, Google. However, you remove Search.di-cmf.com virus first. To find out how to do it properly, please study this article about Search.di-cmf.com redirect virus.
