Recently, various kinds of browser hijackers belonging to the category of viruses of the Hijacker group have become quite active. One such is (http) istart.webssearches.com. This virus cannot be called fundamentally especially dangerous, but after penetrating into all without exception web browsers installed on a computer, Internet surfing slows down significantly.
Istart.webssearches.com virus: what is this threat?
In general terms, this threat works just like all other viruses of this type. The first effect is that when activated in the system, it replaces the start or empty start page with its own, in which the address http istart.webssearches.com is registered. As a result, the search engine installed in the browser by default is also replaced.

And do not try to use utilities widely advertised on the Internet like Stronghold AntiMalware or SpyHunter, otherwise you won’t be able to sin after installing them. It turns out that getting rid of them is even more difficult than with many viruses that they themselves identify. These programs affect the system so much that even its performance can be a big question. And the applications themselves are paid, and even in trial versions without registration or purchase, they do not delete anything.
