How to Remove Pro-search.me
https://youtu.be/8uAUI0ecHRA
• The pesky Pro-search.meis anything but
harmless. This is actually one of the many
browser hijackers out there. And those are
quite a pest. The good news is that browser
hijackers are among the relatively harmless
types of viruses. However, no infection is
completely harmless. Instead of tolerating
this program’s shenanigans, take measures
now. The sooner you manage to get rid of
Search-selector.co, the better.
• Even though the parasite pretends to be a legitimate
search engine, it is not. You should know better than
to trust hackers’ empty promises. They don’t develop
malware to help you browse the Internet. It’s the
opposite, actually. As soon as the hijacker lands on
board, your browsers start getting modified. They
receive a brand new extension added by the parasite.
Was you permission involved in any way? No. That is
because the hijacker’s very last purpose was to be
beneficial for you. It alters your default browser
settings in silence. By doing so, the virus injects your
browsers with sponsored, dangerous web links.
Remember the accurate search results this program
promised to generate?
• All of them are sponsored, potentially unsafe
web links. There are some perfectly safe links
on your PC screen. There are some corrupted
ones as well, though. How can you tell which
is which? You have to click it open. As you
can see, that could jeopardize your safety
immensely. Clicking a corrupted web link
open would compromise your device even
further. We assume that you’re not trying to
install more infections on your already
infected PC.
• Therefore, stay away from anything displayed by
the virus. It is not a risk worth taking to keep the
parasite. It also changes your default search
engine and homepage. Both get replaced with
the hijacker’s own domain. That is how you end
up stuck with the parasite every time you surf
the Web. Or, should we say, attempt to surf the
Web. Your everyday online activities are
effectively interrupted by the virus. It might also
generate bogus commercials and other third-
party advertisements. In addition, you may
stumble across fake program updates as well.
• Pro-search.meturns your online experience
into a cyber battlefield. It even spies on your
browsing-related information and steals
private details. For instance, the parasite
collects browsing history, usernames and
passwords, IP addresses, email address, etc.
It may attempt to go one step further,
though. To prevent serious privacy issues,
tackle the intruder now.
• How to Remove Pro-search.me
• Step 1. Change system folder settings to
show all hidden files
• On Windows 7 / Vista Computer
• Right-click the Windows Logo button and
choose Open Windows Explorer.
• Click Organize and choose Folder and Search
Options.
• Click the View tab, select Show hidden files
and folders and then clear the checkbox for
Hide protected system operating files.
• Click Yes on the warning and then click OK.
• On Windows 8 Computer
• On your keyboard press the Windows + E
keys.
• Click the View tab.
• Check File name extensions and Hidden
items
• Step 2. Seek and delete Pro-search.me related
files in hidden folders listed below:
• (The files on your computer may appear with
different name, if cannot find out the files listed

• %Temp%[malware name]
• %AppData%[malware name]
• %LocalAppData%[malware name]
• %LocalAppData%[malware name].exe
• %CommonAppData%[malware name]

related registry files listed below:

keyboard. This can be done either while at
Windows 8 Start menu/Metro screen or on

you to confirm you want to open Register
Editor — hit “Yes”
