Hello. My Google search on Chrome, Firefox and Explorer have been replaced by public-box.ru/start virus. It does not seem reliable whatsoever. On top of that, I keep receiving chrome survey requests powered by public-box.ru/start virus URL and receive new tab pop-ups from offer.alibaba.com. Seems doubtful activities. How can I fix that?
public-box.ru/start virus keeps redirecting me to Chrome surveys. Collaborates with Alibaba too. How to remove this ad-supported search engine?

It seems that you've installed a software bundle and allowed your web browser to be hijacked by public-box.ru/start. In most of the cases, it spreads bundled with VideoSaver freeware, which is also considered to be adware. Both this adware and public-box.ru/start hijacker are usually attached to download managers, media players or other free programs. If you want to find more on how this software bundle spreads and what kind of issues this hijacker can cause, you can jump to this page - public-box.ru/start hijacker fix.
You have indicated that public-box.ru/start redirects expose you to Alibaba and Chrome surveys. That's because it's ad-supported and is used solely for advertising purposes. The problem is that you can be tricked into installing other suspicious software (PUP/malware). If you want to protect your computer, we recommend you to install FortectIntego and regularly download its updates.
