Remove Obzhora.net

Obzhora.net is a Russian website that offers cooking recipes. In order to artificially increase their traffic they use a mischievous technique with the help of a browser hijacker. They change (without you noticing it until the change is done) both your default homepage and default search engine, therefore you’ll be forced to see and use this website, particularly Obzhora.net/i/start every time you open and use your browser.

Obzhora.net is usually installed along with some free software you found online. Sadly, many download platforms make no effort (or very little if they do) to explain the user that some other program will be attached to the one they were looking for, therefore the user only sees it until the install is done.

Once this browser hijacker is installed, the frustration levels of the the affected user will rise to the skies. Every time they’ll try to manually remove all shortcuts and manually roll back the browser’s settings they will discover that as if by magic Obzhora.net settings keep coming back. Truth is Obzhora.net makes sure this happens by means of a Windows service always on the look for any manual changes.

Always make sure to read everything you’re being told while installing a new program, plus check if what you’re installing is trustworthy. Whenever possible use the customized install process so you can remove anything you don’t want, specially optional tools you were not looking for in the first place.
