Your browser is redirecting to strange websites
Something has changed your browser's search engine, homepage, or extensions. We'll find what did it and turn it off. This happens from free software that snuck in extra settings during installation.
When your browser redirects without asking, it is because software has changed your browser's settings — the search engine, the homepage, or one of the extensions. Free software downloads bundle in hijackers that change these settings during installation, hiding the option to opt out. The fix is straightforward: find what changed the settings and remove it.
Fix-IT-Bot will walk you through each step — just tap, no typing needed.
Skip — I just want a technicianCommon mistakes to avoid
- Do not search for help using the hijacked browser — the results it shows you are controlled by whoever installed the hijacker
- Do not assume you need to reinstall Windows — most browser hijacks are fixed by removing the extension and program
- Do not ignore small redirects thinking they are harmless — they track what you search for and make your computer vulnerable to worse problems
Signs you need professional help
- The redirects happen in all browsers and a full scan did not fix it
- Browser settings are greyed out and you cannot change them
- You removed the extension and program but the redirects came back after restarting
