Method To Remove Weemi.com Manually From IE/Chrome/Firefox

Things To Know About Weemi.com

 

Weemi.com is reported as a browser hijacker virus which tries to invade the targeted machine without user's knowledge. Once it successfully infiltrates the user's machine, it modifies the default settings of the infected web browsers and sets an unwanted URL address hxxp://weemi.com/ as a default new tab page and homepage. After that, when you try to open your installed web browsers, such as Internet Explorer, Chrome or Mozilla Firefox, the new tab page opens up with a search tool which always displays search results that are full of annoying or intrusive advertisements. That's why, the security researchers at RMV never recommend using the search engines which unexpectedly sets itself as your default one instead of your previous homepage and search tool.

Weemi.com

Moreover, the suspicious search providers such as Weemi.com are often untrustworthy and the main purpose of these types of domain is to display unreliable search results instead organic search findings and display plenty of adverts whether you want them or not. Therefore, if you really want to avoid using the search providers like the one described in above para, then you should avoid visiting phishing web pages that are full of sponsored links and intrusive ads. Otherwise, it might redirect you to highly dangerous web portals that are especially designed to promote malicious downloads, fake surveys, or seek to gather your name and email address in order to deliver spam. If your system has already been infected with this hijacker, then you should scan your PC by using a credible anti-spyware scanner and remove Weemi.com virus as quickly as possible.

Annoying Properties of Weemi.com Hijacker

According to the security researchers, this hijacker creates a new folder into C:\Program Files\Weemi and drop some files there. However, if you notice such unwanted and suspicious folder on your machine, then you should not ignore this because it can pose a security threat to your system and your privacy. Based on the information provided in the Privacy Policy page of Weemi.com, this hijacker is almost identical to KeenFinder hijacker virus, which is known to be distributed with the help of freeware programs. Most importantly, you should note one important thing is that such hijacker infection gathers valuable data related to your online browsing and transfer it to the third parties in order to get benefited illegally. Third party advertisers uses these data to display you targeted ads and mislead you to purchase useless or even rogue apps. Thus, you should take an immediate action to eliminate Weemi.com hijacker permanently from your PC.
