Lasaoren Search (lasaoren.com) is the name of a browser hijacker that will essentially change your browser settings whether it’s Firefox, Chrome or Internet Explorer. Lasaoren Search seems like Google in order to make the user trust it and to prevent him from changing again his homepage.
Lasaoren Search is installed when you install new software (usually for free) on your computer and you don’t pay close attention so that you end up with potentially unwanted programs. Although browsers try to strengthen their security by setting up new measures of protection like as it happened with Google Chrome, some malware are still able to quietly modify your browser configuration.
For most of browser hijackers like Lasaoren Search, it’s not possible to change manually, via your browser options, your modified browser settings. They can restore the wrong configuration through various methods: parameters in browser shortcuts, extension within the browser and through Windows processes.
If you want to eradicate Lasaoren Search and restore your default homepage and search engine, just follow the free procedure below.
