How to remove a browser hijacker
If you observe any of the above signs or have reason to suspect that a browser hijacker has been installed on your device, there are a few different options to remove it:
Clear your system’s DNS cache to sever connections to malicious software programs
Utilize a program or tool that deleted browser hijackers and modifications, or one that scans for and removes spyware
Reset your browser homepage settings. In more extreme cases, uninstall and then reinstall your browser.
