Hello, I now encounter a strong browser hijacker Findingresult.com in my Google Chrome; I have tried many times to delete this domain page, but all fails. My screen always is flooded with endless pop-up ads resulting from this browser hijacker. I want to check if there is other malicious application installed into system, but when I open Control Panel, I find nothing new there. I don’t have antivirus either, so what can I do now?

Belief Introduce of Findingresult.com Hijacker

Findingresult.com is not a useful search homepage as Google, Yahoo or Bing, but instead a browser hijacker to redirect PC users. Some users may be mislead by this browser hijacker and believe it is a normal search provider, as it provides such search quick as Card Insurance, Best Credit Cards, High Speed Internet, Job Search and online dating and so on. It seems convenient! However, these are just its sponsor’s ads to attract users to click on it and purchase the products. When you use this search bar to look up something, you will find that you can’t get the correct search results but will be redirected to some strange websites where it keeps displaying products ads, deals, discounts, coupons, bogus antispyware and fake security message and so on. When you find this Findingresult.com page is so malicious and wants to change back your original one, you won’t be allowed to alter it back. Slow speed internet will often happen, webpage can’t be displayed or DNS server has already changed to block your access to Internet totally. Useless and malicious extension, cookie, add-on will be embedded into the web browser. Junk files are created by this Findingresult.com hijacker to take up too much system capacity. Computer performance will definitely slow down. Computer will become sluggish and often gets stuck even frozen there.
