Browser Hijackers itself might not be a significant threat, but when it enters your system, it can bring other greater threats such as spyware, keyloggers, and other malware programs with it. These malicious software can cause extensive damage to you and your system. Also, the webpages it promotes cannot be trusted. They might be filled with illegitimate and malicious content.
Once you know about it, removing the browser virus from your system should be your top priority. If Google is your default search engine, but every search query you type on it is redirected to Bing, then definitely a browser hijacker has compromised your system.
To stop Google redirects to Bing, you have to catch and remove the culprit browser hijacker, which is the root cause. Windows Safe Mode is the perfect environment to find out and solve the critical errors in the system.
In safe mode, only system programs and some crucial programs run. Safe mode would most likely kill the applications and its files that try to run automatically on your system. You might have accidentally installed a malicious browser web extension that is causing the redirects.
If you have many web extensions installed in your Chrome browser, it is time to sort them out and at least disable, if not delete, the ones you rarely use. However, you must remove the useless web extensions instead of disabling them. Because, even after disabling them, they might use the CPU processing power while checking for updates and performing updates.
If the Bing redirection is still happening on your PC, try to find the culprit application and uninstall it. Right-click on the taskbar and select the Task Manager.
Watch out for the applications that are consuming the system memory even though you did not install or launch them. Right-click on the suspicious application and open its file location. Open Control Panel and click on Uninstall a program and check for suspicious apps. One by one, select and uninstall them.
The temporary files folder can also be a carrier of malicious files. You should delete all the temporary files and folders regularly for the smooth running of the system. Removing the temporary files would also clear the unnecessary clutter from your system and free-up the valuable space. Manually removing malware can be a tedious task, and it takes a lot of time and effort on our part.
