Vi-view.com Removal Guide

The implications of installing a freeware app onto your computer may differ according to the distribution source. Vi-view.com distributes Vi-view image viewing application and based on our research, if you download the application from Vi-view.com, it does not affect your default browser settings. However, it would be a good idea to remove Vi-view.com from the computer, because in the long run this application might expose you to potentially corrupted third party content, or it could get exploited by dangerous third parties that are involved in adware and even malware removal.

It obviously means that Vi-view.com is not the only website where you can download Vi-view at. It is very possible that this application is more often bundled with freeware that is available for download at third party file hosting pages. In such a case you may not even notice when or how Vi-view.com gets installed onto your computer. Although we have not noticed any modifications during our testing, Vi-view.com is also known to have an ability to change your default homepage for mystart.vi-view.com or searches.vi-view.com. These websites can definitely serve as search engines, but the problem is that we cannot exactly trust all the search results they provide.

Vi-view itself is said to be a totally new image engine that has a “cool interface deco” and “over 50 awesome graphics”. It also comes with a powerful image engine, supports up to 67 image formats, displays clear and simple thumbnails and provides clear image display. Perhaps the application itself could prove to be useful if you need a fast and powerful image viewing program, but you need to consider other security implications as well.

Our main security concern is that Vi-view.com could be related to V9 and 22find.com browser hijackers. These computer infections are dangerous threats that can collect your web browsing data and expose you to malicious third party web pages. Although Vi-view.com itself does not intend to infect you with malware, but is very likely that in the long run the application could be exploited by malevolent third parties and your computer system would be in danger.

Therefore, to avoid any potential threats, open Control Panel and remove Vi-view manually immediately. If Vi-view was set as your default image viewing software, you may have to restore you original image viewing software manually, because this settings does not change even when you get rid of Vi-view.com. What is more, if your browser settings have been modified by this application, you will need to reset your browser.
