Eliminate specific browser hijacking malware

AboutBuster is a useful took that identifies specific browser-hijacking malware in order to eliminate them from your PC's system.

One of the most dreaded bugs or viruses that your PC can be infected by is the About:Blank virus. AboutBuster allows you to specifically hunt and destroy this specific bug as well other hard to find spyware like CWS.HomeSearch, CWS.MfPlay and CWS.SeDLL.

Most of these annoying pieces of spyware completely take over your browser and take it in different and sometimes harmful directions. AboutBuster works by making a super-fast analysis of your hard drive. AboutBuster will then detect whether or not any of the major malware culprits are on your PC's system. It eliminates them on contact without prompting you to confirm deletion, although AboutBuster will present you with a report as to how many threats were actually found.

The main problem is that most of these types of malware are already detected and found by programs such as Ad-Aware Free Internet Security and Spyware Doctor with Antivirus, both of which also perform a range of other optimization tasks which make this program look rather limited in comparison.

Nevertheless, if you suspect you've been infected with a browser hijacker and have had no success previously, AboutBuster is definitely worth a try.

Softonic

In Softonic we scan all the files hosted on our platform to assess and avoid any potential harm for your device. Our team performs checks each time a new file is uploaded and periodically reviews files to confirm or update their status. This comprehensive process allows us to set a status for any downloadable file as follows:

Clean

It’s extremely likely that this software program is clean.

What does this mean?

We have scanned the file and URLs associated with this software program in more than 50 of the world's leading antivirus services; no possible threat has been detected.

Warning

This software program is potentially malicious or may contain unwanted bundled software.

Why is the software program still available?

Based on our scan system, we have determined that these flags are possibly false positives.

What is a false positive?

It means a benign program is wrongfully flagged as malicious due to an overly broad detection signature or algorithm used in an antivirus program.

We’d like to highlight that from time to time, we may miss a potentially malicious software program. To continue promising you a malware-free catalog of programs and apps, our team has integrated a Report Software feature in every catalog page that loops your feedback back to us.

Flag any particular issues you may encounter and Softonic will address those concerns as soon as possible.
