Remove OZIP

OZIP is a browser hijacker that can easily affect one if not all of your web browsers. It’s capable actually of attaching itself to either Chrome, Firefox, Safari or Internet Explorer. It modifies your browser’s settings among other unwanted changes it performs without asking any kind of approval from you. OZIP’s main goal is to manipulate your web traffic whilst also making money for its developer. It achieves this goal thanks to the huge amount of disguised ads shown in any results page coming from this fake search engine. We strongly advice you to remove OZIP recovering your own settings, as soon as you notice its presence on your computer.

In most cases, OZIP is installed through a free software that the user decides to install. In this kind of installs is quite common to be offered some optional features for your PC or for your browser. If you don’t notice these offers, you end up giving your automatic approval for them. It’s possible to stop this from happening by using the “customized” install option, so you can de-select any case corresponding to something you don’t fully recognize. It doesn’t matter how well these features are presented, the most likely change is that they are nothing but useless adware.
