Hey. Can you explain why Savy.utop.it has replaced my Chrome homepage? I am the only one who has access to this computer. It seems very suspicious. Savy.utop.it redirects me to highly questionable websites when I try to click on its search outcomes, so that is the reason why I do not rely on this search engine. What should I do to get rid of it?I tried to change the homepage, but that does not help – Savy.utop.it becomes my homepage after the next computer reboot.

Savy.utop.it is a typical browser redirect virus, known as Savy.utop.it browser hijacker. This program usually spreads alongside freeware or shareware and can be installed disguised as a "recommended download." Savy.utop.it redirect virus sets a new homepage on every web browser and also changes the primary search engine. As you have noticed, Savy.utop.it search engine initiates redirects to suspiciously looking web pages. It does that in order to drive web traffic to affiliate websites in exchange for pay-per-visit revenue. Take note that some of its affiliate websites might be insecure or dangerous, and you should not browse through them.
