Remove esurf.biz

esurf.biz is an URL address corresponding to a website that was put in place by a browser hijacker.  esurf.biz’s goal is to replace your homepage with this website without asking for your approval. Actually esurf.biz is nothing but a new version of Foryourweb.net or Yourwebing.com, already covered on our website on summer 2015.

This is how esurf.biz looks like in Internet Explorer:

This browser hijacker like many others before it, install themselves as quietly as possible when you’re installing some other software downloaded from the internet: some programs or download platforms like download.com get a financial commission every time esurf.biz is installed with success in a new system.  Every time you’re installing something new in your computer you must remember to customize the install process so you can stop adware from being installed as well.

esurf.biz has infected your computer in such a way that to change the parameters back manually is impossible. To achieve this tasks it uses a Windows’ service or process that will set esurf.biz back after every restart.

Web searches results shown to the user by esurf.biz include ads that also pay its developer. The more esurf.biz is used, the more money they get.

These results are mostly fake, because even though there would be some results coming from Google or Bing, esurf.biz will insert its own results in the best positions in an attempt to guide the user towards malicious websites that could end up being even more dangerous threats to their computers.

If you wish to remove esurf.biz and recover your own homepage, you must follow the guide presented below. Don’t trust every other “security” blog out there offering a helping hand.. most of them will just try to make you buy a software whose efficiency can’t be proved.

  • Thank you!!! This hompage hijacker "esurf.biz" was driving me nuts! Thanks so much for the advice. I had to use all three, as described, in that order, and it worked.
    You're a legend!
