Instantsafepage.com Removal Guide

Do you know what Instantsafepage.com is?

Instantsafepage.com is a browser hijacker that may change your home page to point to Instantsafepage.com. Instantsafepage.com is known to be very similar to PureSafteyHere.com which both promote and sell rogue anti-spyware programs such as WinSpyKiller and AntiSpyware Sheild. Instantsafepage.com may prompt users with popup alerts that state you are infected with W32.Myzor.FK@yf.

Do you ever get a popup message that reads like the following?

The above message is totally bogus and only used as a scare tactic to get you to download and purchase the rogue applications listed on the Instantsafepage.com website. You can even tell that this message is fake because they misspelled the word "Recommendations".

In non-techie terms: Instantsafepage.com should not be visited but if you find yourself with the Instantsafepage.com infection we recommend that you avoid downloading any software from the home page. Instantsafepage.com is just like many other malicious websites in the way that it offers a free download of a rogue program and then attempts to get you to purchase it through annoying popups.
