OurSurfing (oursurfing.com) is the given name of a browser hijacker developed by SmartWave Technology Limited. We call it a “hijacker” because it will literally hijack your browser configuration in order to place itself as your homepage and search engine by default. Of course it does all this without the prior knowledge of the user, making both oursurfing.com and the associated software (usually an extension) potentially unwanted programs.
OurSurfing is placed into those locations after having installed some free software. Several websites and download platforms such as download.com get a commission every time oursurfing.com is successfully installed in some user’s browser, which is why they attempt to make this installation as quietly as possible. If oursurfing.com is installed without at least some little mention to it, it becomes illegal.
Nevertheless, OurSurfing is a real threat, because if you use it, every search result will be modified in hopes to direct your browsing towards what’s best for them, it will also record every search you make so it can show ads that might match your interests. OurSurfing is installed by an adware that’s either a browser extension or a Windows process, making it really difficult to uninstall it. To achieve it you must follow the guide presented below.
Keep in mind that even though OurSurfing offers an uninstall process, it’s linked to use a software called YAC; software also known as a potentially unwanted software.
