How to remove mystartsearch.com from Internet Explorer, Google Chrome, Mozilla Firefox.

Explanation & solution

Sure, we’ll help you to remove mystartsearch.com  from your computer permanently. First, we would like to explain about mystartsearch.com so that everybody can know that process what is mystartsearch.com? And how and why it enters into the computer and what would be the its removal steps.

Mystartsearch.com is a browser hijacker. It works in your computer as a browser’s search engine and displays lots of advertisements and sponsored links while using its search engine. Mystartsearch.com set as homepage on your browsers so users forced to use the mystartsearch.com  search engine.

Now we are explaining here to let you know how it to come into the computer. It usually comes into the computer through 3rd party downloading websites or unwanted free softwares. Actually these types of Adware companies added their installer embedded with these type third party websites’s installers. So eventually, it’ll be automatically installed on your computer while downloading and installing  any software from 3rd party downloading websites.

We are giving you an example: Suppose, you want to download a flash player into your computer to play the games online. You go to online search engine like “yahoo search” and search there “download flash player” and click on search button then you get results and choose one result and click on them and download flash player and installed it. But you know where you did mistake? You did a mistake while clicking on found results. You clicked on the wrong website (3rd party downloading website). Actually, these types of websites’s installers are embedded with Adwares.

Once mystartsearch.com got installed into your computer, you’ll also get lots of other changes to your computer like: default search engine, default browser, default homepage, default URL search and DNS settings are redirected to http://mystartsearch.com.

It’s technically installs on your all the browsers as an extension and take over all the settings rights. After it installed on your computer you can’t be change most of settings of the browser because mystartsearch.com has changed all the setting of a browser.

Mystartsearch.com leaves lots of traces of files, folders and registry traces which had been created while installing it on your computer. Even, its own uninstall utility won’t be uninstalled. Intentionally it won’t uninstall adware exactly so that can come again through these remain traces.

    On my computer, I removed my search in the following way.
    Firstly, I removed the my search engine and extensions from the add ons.
    Secondly, the main step, I went into registry . I press CTRL+F ( shortcut to open search window) and I wrote mysmart in that search windows. I found heaps of folders and I could not believe that these folders were hidden deep inside the folders. As I found them , I started deleting them . I searched until the search box showed me that there is no mysmart left.
    After this my browser worked fine.
    Thank to GOD.

    7. Remove MySearch.com from browser home page setting and reset the browser.
    8. Close all browsers.

    For those still having www .mystartsearch. com when start firefox (or any other browser) even after addon has been removed:

    Have a look at shortcut that you use for browser, rightclick and click on properties.
    You will see something like:
    “C:\Program Files (x86)\Mozilla Firefox\firefox.exe” httxx://www .mystartsearch. com/….
    remove all after C: \Program Files (x86)\ Mozilla Firefox\ firefox.exe and click apply.

    i have to tell you guys smth. i tried lots of programs for removing this virus, but none of the actually worked. i was very sad, so for a last try i went in control panel (i had al my browsers closed) and unnistalled the program. As you might think, it was still there but i decided to restart my pc and i got rid of it. I think you should all try this method even if it sounds ridicoulosly simple

    The program removed nine (9) instances of ADWARE etc., but could not remove ‘mystart search’ on the first session? I ran it for a second time (11 minutes) and on his occasion finally removed he problem. I restarted the machine but ‘mystart search’ returned? Can you advise if a new level of this ADWARE has been sent to unsuspecting users on the web?

    * IE: delete the address of mystartsearch (IE-property-T (Target?))
    * Chrome: 1. delete the address of mystartsearch (IE-property-T (Target?)) 2. uninstall Chrome and reinstall Chrome

    Still on setting -search- klik “manage search engine” – remove mystratsearch

    I just wanted to express my thanks to you guys. I’ve spent many hours with finding the solution. I say it was worth reading through all the instructions, even if I could have run the the Adwcleaner program, suggested as automatical method on the first place, but it worked nicely:)

    I tried the manual way and it just didn’t work.

    I tried the adw cleaner and it seems to have made it worse.

    there are ads popping up everywhere and even as links on words on the screen.

    this is very frustrating as was only trying to download an mkv file player so my girlfriend could watch and old movie.

    i have gone it programs and deleted everything that was downloaded today.

    nothing works.

    i am willing to donate to you guys just want it fixed first. please. this has been doing my head in all day. the laptop may fly out the window shortly

    thanks.

    I had removed the Mystartsearch program with Revo Uninstaller, but the start page of Mystartsearch kept coming when starting Firefox or Internet Explorer. Running your Adware-Removal-Tool v.3.9.exe finally solved the problem though.
    Thanks a lot!

    Hi. I ran the tool to remove Mystartsearch. It removed stuff, but mystartsearch still comes up when I open Chrome. I can’t see any installed programmes, and I have tried to set Google as my home page in settings. Not sure what to do.

    As an overseas resident and with some 33 years of computer experience, I rely heavily on online instructions and help to solve PC issues. These are the best detailed instructions I have seen/used. Did what google chrome instructions, PC Cleaner, and Malwarebyte programs couldn´t …took care of my mysearch issue in short order. Donation forthcoming. Awesome!

      My heaven came when I fought it within two days of its entrance, I won the battle, though it was so tough. This is what I did.

      Initially, I installed a software that took 4 hours downloading, after downloading its installer which was only 3mb. After completing the installation, It scanned and found tones of thousands of problems and could only help if I purchased a premium, CRAP…, forget it,….
      I used SYSTEM RESTORE, that utility is God send.
      When I first did system restore manually, the program hid behind antivirus and system restore reported, “Unsuccessful”, though it was identified as the file not deleted.

      Then I logged in using the safe mode (Just run “msconfig”, –without the quotes— then in the “boot tab”, select safe-boot then, allow system to reboot).

      Do another ssytem restore in the safemode. Ensure the restore point is beyond the date the file attached your computer.

      After the system restore is complete, run ms config again and remove safe boot, then, just boot normally. There you are, that annoying thing is done with, and without software to install.

      Give a kuddos if it helped in your case, thank you.

    unfortunately I trieds DIFFERENT (many) programs proposed here and there is NO result – it seems that it removes everything, but then the problem returns – what is more I cannot remove some files as it says (not asks but states) thet I need administartor access – what is absolutely insane, as I am administrator – what is more i wanted to install sygate firewall (as it is simple and does not allow anything to access the net), but it says me that I need administrator access as well, what is really strange. I have to say that windows 10 is one big shit – but it is the same with win 8 – i do not know what this multibillion dollar company does as it seems thet XP was way better. Our civilisation stratts do dismantle completely – most of the ‘verified’ sites offering software NOW use installers and that means that we are not able to controll anything now.

    The tool works very good at removing the virus/adware but it keeps coming back shortly there after. “mystartsearch” is the problem and nothing seems to remove it completely from the computer
