Searchstartnow.com is classified as a browser hijacker, a somewhat trivial threat that should not do direct harm to your device. Many users may be puzzled about how setup happens, as they do not realize they themselves by accident set it up. It travels using software packages so if it is on your PC, you probably recently installed free software. A redirect virus is not seen to be malevolent and therefore shouldn't endanger your PC directly. bear in mind, however, that you may be redirected to promoted websites, as the reroute virus wants to make pay-per-click profit.

Remove Searchstartnow.com for everything to go back to normal.
