istart.webssearches.com Removal Guide

If you install the browser hijacker Webssearch, do not get surprised when the home page is changed to istart.webssearches.com. Istart.webssearches.com can replace your favorite home page on popular Internet browsers, including Mozilla Firefox, Google Chrome and Internet Explorer. Alongside the browser hijacker, you will find Quick Start, a browser extension whose name appears on every new browser tab. The search engine is also associated with another browser hijacker key-find.com. When key-find.com replaces the home page of Google Chrome, the user is provided with search results retrieved from search.websearchers.com. We recommend that you remove the browser hijacker from the PC, because both istart.webssearches.com and search.webssearches.com provide the user with sponsored links, some of which may have nothing in common with your actual browsing interest.

The browser hijacker istart.webssearches.com, or simply Webssearches, contains links to popular websites. The search engine enables you to quickly access Facebook, Twitter, Amazon and some other websites. You may also be provided with links to online gaming websites, which are promoted by Quick Start tabs. Since the search engine does not endorse the content of the websites that are advertised, you should be very careful when dealing with links to third party websites. Before you download a program or provide your personal information on a website promoted by istart.webssearches.com, make sure that the website is reliable. If you are not satisfied with its privacy policy, do not access the websites again. There are many unreliable websites, which may be advertised in various ways. You may be invited to update computer programs, scan the PC, take part in a survey, etc; however, it may turn out that the only goal of the website is to obtain your personal information or lure you into downloading insecure programs.
