I think my computer was infected by Hijacker, because my Explorers, whatever Internet explorer, Firefox, or Google chrome, were out of control. Every time I open a new page, there is always a dazzling scene showing on the screen which drives me crazy, the numberless and endless pop-up ads take up almost all my screen, it just like seeing a wall with all doodle on it. It is the thing that call “Newzio 1.4” tempered the settings of my Explores, most of my Explores buttons are failure to press, all my favorite URLs are gone, they are replace by many indescribable Advertising sites, never heard any of them before. These were all done without my permission. That is not the worse, for me, the most annoying thing is when I type a new URL on the address bar, it keeps redirecting to another site which I don’t mean to, or just showing nothing. I want to ask, what kind of virus is that? Seems like it just affects my Explorers, the rest of my programs can still run normally, but I don’t think that’s a good news for me, cause I’m kind of the person who happen to have net addition, each time, I turn on my PC mostly for surfing the internet. I’m really pissed off, if I can’t use my computer for surfing normally, then it’s nothing but a useless machine. Is that this hijacker can pick specific users? If not, then why it chose me? However, I can still recall the process of this whole thing, how I got this Newzio 1.4 virus on my computer in the first place, that’s because I found an interesting Network video, when I clicked it, it asked me to download their given video program so I can watch the whole version, I downloaded it, and Newzio 1.4 adware, this is what came out, I got to admit I learn a lesson from this one, but before everything, I need help to remove Ads by Newzio 1.4 virus, my antivirus program is helpless from this one either.

Brief Introduction to Ads by Newzio 1.4 Hijacker

It generates web traffic, collects sales leads for other dubious sites, and will display advertisements and sponsored links within your web browser. Normally, your computer may get this adware by downloading and installing some free software, the hijacker is commonly bundled with free programs that you download. After done installed, the browser hijacker can be saved clandestine and without users’permission. So, Newzio 1.4 hijacker could mess up with your browsers, it can displace your homepage by other site, and wildly tamper your browsers setting, it could also display some advertisements and sponsored links when you visit some website. You cannot open some given websites or some you regularly visit, what’s worse, many function in browser turn out to be useless.

Hey, now I meet some situation like browser hijacker. It seems that my Mozilla Firefox is hijacked by some virus or malware, actually I don’t know what exactly it is; I’m always redirected to somewhere I don’t know. It is ridiculous that my default search engine has been changed to be another one called Istsearch.com. I didn’t use it before and this search engine doesn’t give me any correct search result. I want to delete it and set it back to Google, but I don’t know how to do it. Can anyone help me, please?

Description of Istsearch.com Hijacker

Well, Istsearch.com is a fake search engine and has been listed as a web browser hijacker. At first sight, it looks like a generic search as Google. This search tool presents the regular Web, Images, Video and News searches, and its interface is not offensive anyway. However, if it becomes your default search engine, you will find that it is useless. Like other browser hijacker, this hijacker can invade your browsers such as Internet Explorer, Mozilla Firefox, Google chrome, etc. and changes your default search engine to Istsearch.com webpage. If you try to perform a web search via this browser hijacker’s homepage, you would notice that it cannot even process your search query and just show you the wrong or unrelated search results, besides it displays different kinds of ads like coupon, discounting sales, fitness, movie, video and so on. If you click on those ads, you will be further redirected to a new tab of this website and this new tab is about those ads mentioned above. Those webpages are full of malware, viruses, sometimes those malware or viruses can automatically activate and install on your computer without your notice once you visit. Gradually, your computer will be weaken and performs slowly; even your operating system will be crashed down. Therefore, once you find Istsearch.com on your computer, please take prompt action to kick it off your machine, otherwise this browser hijacker or other threats would damage your computer.

Hey, I just installed a new antivirus program Win 8 Antispyware 2014 on my computer a few days ago, but in these two days, there is always security warning popping up from this antivirus, and I also use it to catch those virus it mentioned, but when I restart my computer to refresh, those annoying security warning still show up unstoppably. Even though this antivirus often scans my computer, I do feel that my computer performs slower than before. I even cannot open any webpage. I guess my computer might have got some malwares or viruses. How does it happen? I have antivirus on my PC. Doesn’t it really have ability to protect my computer? How can I do now? Please help!

I didn’t put much attention on it, I still got few more days left, no need to hurry. So I kept browsing news, I don’t remember when, but in the middle of something, there was a antivirus program name Vista Antivirus 2014 coming out from nowhere, it told me that it could offer me a free service check on my computer, therefore, I took the curious mind and maybe a little greedy for advantages, since my old antivirus program would be expired later, I guess it was nothing to hurt for letting it do a little check, and if it actually do a good job, then I’ll consider to replace my former one by it. So I clicked and downloaded it. However, I was totally shocked by what happen to the next, after Vista Antivirus 2014 checked my PC, I can’t believe the scan result showed me a numberless of virus and bugs, it said my computer was in a very dangerous condition, it would help me remove all of them but I need to buy a full version of Vista Antivirus 2014 first. This notification left me senseless, really? That’s truly happened to my computer? I was freaking out, I got important information and data in my PC, I was worry they may get damaged or disappeared, so I paid for the money anyway. After that, there was another shock for me,  with a  “Bang” in my head, I guess you already know what I mean, yes, Vista Antivirus 2014 was a fake antivirus program, I think I just throw money after bad. Right now, I only hope someone could tell me how to get rid of it, because not only I lost money, this fake program didn’t let my PC work normally either. Please help!

I got this Vista Protection 2014 and some security system alerts on my computer when I turned it on this morning. I was shocked at getting this unknown security program installed without my knowledge. I can’t launch my own security software or other executable programs properly, as the annoying rogue software showed up on my computer screen and it was hardly to be closed or exited. The fake anti-spyware randomly scanned my system and claimed that numerous threats have been found in my computer. Indeed, the rogue program asked me to sign up and register for its full editor in order to clean those detected threats and protect my computer against further attacks. But I’m not sure whether this random pop-up security program will protect my computer or not. How does this rogue software bypass my advanced antivirus to install itself in the computer? What can I do to remove the fake antivirus from my computer? Any rogue program uninstall guide will help me a lot.
