Hello. I might have some security issue in my computer. I just found out my windows defender’s disabled. I do not recall turning it off. I also downloaded AVG antivirus and ran a a full system scan. So it showed me that Search.mysafetabsearch.com is running some processes on my pc. But was using it for my search the whole time!! Should I block it, delete it? What should I do?
I would be thankful for your advice.
As you may already suspect, is NOT safe to use Search.mysafetabsearch.com for the Internet search. It is a browser hijacker. Such programs overtake the browsers and may install additional programs, add-ons, extensions. These extensions may further contaminate your system with useless junk programs and viruses. It seems that you might have contracted some virus already since you were using Search.mysafetabsearch.com as your default search engine. This may explain why your Windows Firewall is disabled. We advise you to take action as soon as possible and to run a scan of your system with some reputable antivirus tool. You can use FortectIntego for this purpose.
