  • 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 programs 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 dont develop malware to help you
    browse the Internet. Its 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 hijackers 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?

4
  • 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 youre not
    trying to install more infections on your already
    infected PC.

5
  • 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
    hijackers 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.

6
  • 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.
