Remove Zingload

Zingload a website found at search.zingload.com, is a browser hijacker. As clearly told by its name, Zingload hijacks your browser’s settings replacing them with its own configuration choices. This is not a piracy case where you’re data is in danger, because what Zingload goes after is your default homepage, default search engine, new tab and sometimes the 404 page.

Zingload becomes annoying because it makes sure the user has no means to change back the hijacked settings to recover his/her preferences. To do this it supports itself in a Windows’ service or process that will be on charge of reinstating Zingload’s settings over and over again. What’s the goal behind this?… simply to force the user to use the alleged search engine found at search.zingload.com

This search engine shows ads that might take you to websites or programs that are best to be kept at distance. In the screen shot shown above, we can see Zingload offering Reimage Repair install, a program with a really bad reputation. Ads are cleverly hidden among the search results usually in the very first positions.

To get rid of Zingload the simpler choice is to use free programs like the ones offered here. We have put together a guide with the best programs available to remove not only Zingload but also any other unwanted program that might be lurking around your system without you knowing anything about it.
