Hi. I have a question about homepage address in my browser. I am using Google Chrome. For some reason, the blank page that used to be the homepage address is now replaced with a very similar-looking launchpage.org page. Is there any difference between these? Something’s just not right. Please help!
Launchpage.org instead of Google?

You described the problem clearly, and we are 100% that your browser was affected by a potentially unwanted program (PUP) known as Launchpage.org hijacker. It is a program that makes browsers launch Launchpage.org automatically whenever the user adds a new tab or simply open the web browser. This sneaky page is designed to look like the real Chrome default page, which presents Google search box. Please understand that it is NOT related to google and search results that it serves are likely to be filled with links to shady third-party websites affiliated with the developer of this hijacker.
We suggest you remove Launchpage.org virus ASAP. For that, you can use these instructions or anti-malware programs like FortectIntego or Malwarebytes.
