Exciterewards.com Removal Guide

There are two ways that Exciterewards.com could have entered your browsers: You acquired it yourself, or it was installed illegally. Although it is possible that users will download this search tool willingly, our research team has found that this search tool could be infiltrated as a browser hijacker. Whether or not this search tool enters illegally, it is highly likely that it will do that bundled with other infections. Needless to say, the more unreliable programs are active on your PC, the more complicated the removal operation will be. Hopefully, you only need to delete Exciterewards.com, and we can help you with that. Before you start reading this report, implement a malware scanner to figure out which other threats you might have to delete, as this might change your course of action.

Exciterewards.com is not a very useful search provider. Instead of showing interesting, useful, and varied search results, it mainly routes to Australian-based websites. What is more, it shows the results in a small section on the right of the page, while the biggest portion of the page is left blank. Of course, this is not something that should make you want to remove Exciterewards.com, but must be suspicious. According to our researchers, this suggests that Exciterewards.com is a new search provider that is still in the development stages. Even if this search tool does not promote links to malicious sites, it is clearly useless, and, if it was installed without permission, there should be no more discussions regarding whether or not the removal of Exciterewards.com is necessary.

Besides providing poor web search services, Exciterewards.com fails at providing Images, Video, News, and Shopping services as well. Even if you are enabled to use Exciterewards.com as a regular search provider, we do not recommend doing that. The search results shown could be modified to represent misleading ads and links. Note that ads could be injected by adware or potentially unwanted programs that could come bundled with Exciterewards.com. You can use a malware scanner to find out if you need to remove unreliable programs/malware installed along with this hijacker. If you find more aggressive threats, we recommend deleting them first. Although the hijacker we are discussing is annoying and useless, it is not the most dangerous threat.

If you want to remove Exciterewards.com from your browsers, you have to change the homepage, and our instructions below show how to do that. Even though this should be enough to get rid of the hijacker, we cannot guarantee that leftovers will not be left behind. This is another situation where a trustworthy malware scanner comes in handy. Use this scanner to inspect your operating system and see which programs and their components you need to get rid of after removing Exciterewards.com. Once you clean your operating system, you have to make sure that it stays that way; otherwise, your virtual security will be vulnerable. We advise implementing a legitimate security tool, and you can install it while malware is still active if you want to have it deleted automatically.
