uninstalled using a tool called CWShredder.

Coupon Server – This comes with many freeware applications on the Internet. This program can infect a computer without a user’s knowledge. It forcibly redirects users to its homepage to fool users. It also directs browsers to suspicious domains and changes other browser settings.

GoSave – This hijacker inserts unwanted adverts into web pages. It also adds plugins or extensions to whatever browser is the default. This program is not necessarily named GoSave – it varies from GS Booster, GS Sustainer, or something else.

istartsurf – This also comes bundled with other software from untrusted sources. It installs silently and replaces the preferred search tool.

Mixi.DJ – Mixi.DJ offers a media player, but with this comes a free toolbar and conduit-based search engine. It changes the browser home page. It also adds itself to the computer’s registry, creates strings in memory, and changes Internet Explorer’s icon to a magnifying glass.

MyStart.IncrediBar Search – It is much more dangerous than a hijacker. It is also a virus and spyware. The effect may be as simple as simple performance degradation to system crashes. Sometimes, the effects are so severe that the user is left with no other option than to uninstall the Operating System. You can recognize this program by the installation of its MyStart search toolbar. Uninstallation of this malware is not easy. It changes system settings in such a malicious manner that removing this malware becomes a daunting task. However, there are a few applications like Spysweeper, Eset NOD32, and AdwCleaner that can remove this malware.

Onewebsearch – This is also a malware. It is often referred to as onewebsearch virus, and it changes browser settings upon installation.

Search-daily.com – It slows down computer performance and redirects user’s searches to pornographic sites.

Searchult.com – This is also a malware. It changes browser settings and displays unwanted adverts.

Searchgol.com – It changes the browser’s default search engine. And it downloads other malware in the computer. Removing this virus is not easy. Users need to perform browser restore after the uninstallation.

Searchnu.com – It changes the default search engine to search-results.com. If anything is searched in the search engine, the search will redirect the user to Ask.com and related websites. Uninstalling this hijacker is, however, easy.

Snap.do – It redirects the users to the Snap.do search engine. But, it is not merely a hijacker. It is also spyware. It also downloads other malicious programs like DVDVideoSoftTB, General Crawler, and Save Valet. General Crawler is a backdoor, and it reinstalls itself every time a user tries to uninstall. It also steals sensitive user data.

SourceForge Installer – It changes the browser homepage to istartsurf.com. It changes registry settings and resets the browser settings if the user tries to change it.
