OurSurfing.com Removal Guide
OurSurfing.com is a browser hijacker that belongs to SmartWave Technology Limited. The application is promoted as a high quality search engine that can provide you with the most relevant search results. Unfortunately, it does not differ much from other hijackers such as Omniboxes.com, Luckysearches.com, Jamenize.com, and so on. Its main purpose has nothing to do with bringing you the best search results. Instead, it aims at promoting its sponsors.
The hijacker uses various tactics in order to do so, including browser settings modifications, redirects, adverts, and so on. There is no reason why you should tolerate it. We suggest that you delete OurSurfing.com from your browsers as soon as possible.
How does OurSurfing.com work?
OurSurfing.com gets distributed in freeware and shareware bundles. It enters your system together with potentially unwanted applications. The hijacker has been linked to such applications as Oursurfing, GoSave, MassTube, and others. In order to erase OurSurfing.com from your browsers, you will have to uninstall all of these programs from your computer. You should try avoiding similar software in the future, because there is nothing useful about it. If you want to make sure that you only install the freeware of your choice, you should select Advanced or Custom installation mode and decline all additional offers presented to you in the installation wizard.
The main symptom of the hijacker is the fact that it changes your home page and default search engine to OurSurfing.com. The webpage contains a search box, search parameters, and links to License, Privacy, and About. The search box redirects you to search.yahoo.com, which is a reliable site. However, you will see ads and sponsored links on it. You will also see sponsored content on other pages that you visit. These ads are presented to you by the hijacker. Keep in mind that it does not endorse the adverts, which means that they could be fake. If you do not want to risk your online security, you should not click on any ads until you get rid of OurSurfing.com.
