Remove Trustedsurf

Trustedsurf is a browser hijacker that infiltrates your computer in a discrete manner, taking hold of your browsers settings. Even though it looks like any other search engine, it’s not a trustworthy website and you should never use it to perform any web searches. In all truth, Trustedsurf was only developed to promote commercial pages, show ads and to make money through clicks on sponsored links.

Once it has landed on your computer, Trustedsurf changes several settings on Internet Explorer, Chrome or Firefox. It’s installed in such a way that to remove it becomes quite difficult, forcing you every time to use Trustedsurf.com as default search engine without you having any way to replace it.

The best course of action is to remove Trustedsurf as soon as you notice its presence from all of your web browsers. Plus in the future be more aware of what you do when you’re downloading something in your computer, to avoid browser hijackers like this one taking hostage of your browser’s settings. Trustedsurf.com is usually offered as optional along with video players, PDF creators and some other free tools like those.  Make sure every single time to understand and read what you’re being offered whenever you’re installing something coming from the net so you can stop any unwanted programs from being installed as well.
