How does Copypast.ru spread?

Browser hijackers are optional items added to freeware. However, they are only optional if you use Advanced (Custom) settings when you install freeware. If you opt for Default settings, added items will install automatically. In Advanced settings, just deselect the items and they will not install. Choosing Advanced settings only takes a second so you do not need to worry about the installation process taking longer. We strongly suggest you take this advice and next time opt for Advanced.

Why should I remove Copypast.ru?

Browser hijackers are useless to you. They exist to generate traffic for certain websites and earn money for site owners that way. They alter your browser’s settings, so if you find that when you open your browser (Internet Explorer, Google Chrome, Mozilla Firefox or Safari) you get redirected to Copypast.ru, then you know that a browser hijacker is on your computer. If you try to change the settings back, you might not be able to without first having to uninstall Copypast.ru from your computer.

The thing about these kinds of redirects is that they can also sometimes lead you to unsafe domains and you could end up with malware on your computer. As you can see, Copypast.ru will not benefit you in any way, so we suggest you uninstall Copypast.ru.
