Safesurfs.net trojan won’t go away, what can I do?
recently, my browser was infected with a stupid virus that always opens safesurfs.net for me. I am not interested in using this search engine nor it looks safe to use for me. however, I could not find a way to delete it from my browser (or computer?) any help is appreciated. thanks
Firstly, we want to clarify that Safesurfs.net is not a Trojan. It is a potentially unwanted program that is classified as a browser hijacker. Unlike Trojans, it does not perform illegal activities on compromised computers.
You could install this unwanted program alongside freeware that you added to your computer. Now, you have to delete SafeSurfs.net redirect virus, and we also suggest deleting the programs that installed it for you.
To find all unwanted programs on your system, read these SafeSurfs.net removal directions first: Safesurfs.net virus. How to remove? (Uninstall guide).
