Securesurfs.biz does differ all that much from other browser hijackers that are roaming the web these days. It immediately modifies files and registry entries linked to your web browser's default settings. This is a very common method that hijackers use to alter the default homepages of popular web browsers such as Mozilla Firefox, Google Chrome, and Internet Explorer. Once the all of this is done, you will notice a questionable third-party website each time you will start an online session. Unfortunately, you will be forced to use this site as your default homepage whether you like that or not. It goes without saying that this will make surfing the web the way you are used to a difficult, if not impossible, task. What causes more annoyance is the fact that the web page appointed as your new homepage does not provide any valuable features whatsoever. The quick access link on it sometimes does not work. The search field can provide quite a few third-party sponsored results; some of which might have nothing to do with your original query. Unfortunately, the devious change is not easily reversible. To regain your web browser's default settings once and for all, you need to delete every single bit of Securesurfs.biz. To do that, make sure to follow the detailed removal instructions below.

Unfortunately, there more to Securesurfs.biz than meets the eye.
