Hello, I have two questions:
1. Why was my browser’s homepage changed to universalsearch.co? I use Google Chrome.
2. How can I switch it back to Google? I tried to replace it, but after restarting my computer, this website still appears on my homepage.
Thanks.

First of all, your browser's homepage was changed because your computer was infected with so-called Universalsearch.co virus. This computer infection is known as a browser hijacker that is capable of altering targeted browsers' settings. The virus spreads in the software bundles; thus, the hijack might have occurred during the installation of the recently downloaded programs. Now when you know the reasons of this unwanted change, we can tell you what you have to do next.
Obviously, you need to remove the virus from the computer. For that, you have two options. You can scan the computer with anti-malware/anti-spyware program. If you choose this method, install your chosen program carefully in order to avoid other third-party applications. Then, update the program and run a full system scan. Within several minutes the virus will be eliminated from the system, and you will be able to make Google as your homepage. Additionally, you can follow our prepared Universalsearch.co removal guidelines and remove the virus manually.
