About Cleanserp.net

Cleanserp.net is a browser hijacker that is spread using freeware bundles. These kinds of infections are attached to free software as extra offers and you can choose whether you want to install them. Unfortunately, those offers are hidden and a lot of users simply do not notice them. And since they are set to install alongside the freeware, if you do not notice them, they install.

Cleanserp

You probably noticed this threat when you opened your browser and saw that Cleanserp.net loads every time. This is happening because the hijacker has made changes to your browser’s settings and set its domain as your homepage and new tabs. Usually hijackers aim to redirect you to sponsored websites but they also oversee your browsing sessions and collect certain kind of information about your Internet habits. We recommend you delete Cleanserp.net.

How did Cleanserp.net infect my computer?

Hijackers are attached to free programs and if you fail to deselect them during installation, you authorize them to install. Thankfully, it is quite easy to prevent the installations. All you need to do is select Advanced or Custom settings during installation and deselect the boxes of all extra offers. They will be clearly visible in those settings so there should be no trouble. Do not use Default settings because added items will not be visible there. Precisely because users use those settings do they end up having to remove Cleanserp.net and other kinds of similar threats.

Why is Cleanserp.net removal necessary?

Browser hijackers are not malicious but they do tend to be irritating. They change browser’s settings without permission and then try to redirect users or collect data. In the case of Cleanserp.net, once it’s on your computer, it will set itself as your homepage and new tabs on all popular browsers installed, including Internet Explorer, Google Chrome and Mozilla Firefox. If you try to change the settings back, the hijacker will just alter them again. This will go on until you uninstall Cleanserp.net. Your new homepage promotes a search engine that supposedly respects your privacy. In reality, all it does is redirect you to Google. It may be trying to fool users into thinking that it’s some kind of new look for Google. There is no use in using this dubious site when you can go to Google directly if you wish to use it. The hijacker could be monitoring your browsing activities to get certain kind of data, which could then be shared with third-parties. That data could then be used to advertisement purposes. Delete Cleanserp.net.

Cleanserp.net removal

If you want to get rid of the homepage, you will need to remove Cleanserp.net. It can be done in two ways, manually and automatically. If you go with the former options, you will need to find the hijacker yourself and keep in mind that it may be hiding. The second option is more recommended because anti-spyware software would locate and uninstall Cleanserp.net for you.
