When this is installed on a computer, victims easily become frustrated as when they remove the shortcuts from their browser links, they are mysteriously added back. This is because the Yessearches.com program utilizes a Windows service that hijacks the shortcuts again when it detects if the shortcuts have been cleaned. This is why we first need to remove the program from the computer before we clean the shortcuts.
How did the Yessearches.com hijacker get on my computer?
It is important to note that this program is installed by other programs that did not adequately disclose that other software would be installed along with it. Therefore, it is important that you pay attention to the license agreements and installation screens when installing anything off of the Internet. If an installation screen offers you Custom or Advanced installation options, it is a good idea to select these as they will typically disclose what other 3rd party software will also be installed. Furthermore, If the license agreement or installation screens state that they are going to install a toolbar or other unwanted adware, it is advised that you cancel the install and not use the free software.
As you can see, the Yessearches.com browser hijacker was created in a way that makes it difficult to clean up without specialized tools. In my opinion you should uninstall this program if you discover the symptoms listed above so that your computer and browsers can run properly. To remove the Yessearches.com browser hijacker and clean the affected shortcuts, please use the removal guide below.
