inetoboz.com Removal Guide

Our security analysts have detected a new browser hijacker that we have called inetoboz.com, which is also the name of the website that this malicious application promotes. The hijacker promotes the website by setting it up as your browser’s default homepage, but the problem is that the program does not allow you to change the homepage back to how it was. So, if you are looking for an easy way of removing this application, we recommend using SpyHunter, because manual removal is not a very good option for inexperienced PC users. If you want to learn more about this infection, please continue reading.

inetoboz.com is known to be distributed via malicious software bundles. This kind of bundle is made-up of several malicious applications, such as adware, browser hijackers, fake programs, bad toolbars, and so on. It is likely that the bundles that contain inetoboz.com are distributed on websites that engage in disseminating pirated material. Unlike in most cases, inetoboz.com is not listed as an additional program that you can remove from the installation process. It is installed silently, without the user’s knowledge or permission. So, all that we can do in this case is to advise you to stay away from piracy websites.

Now, let us discuss the website that this application promotes. The website is a relatively new. Some sources state that the website was launched on the 8th of June 2015. It is a Russian news website, which seems to be legitimate. No malicious behavior was observed during testing, so we can say that the website is completely safe. As mentioned, the website in the Russian language, but its host country is Germany. The website’s Registrar is Evoplus Ltd, and its Registrant organization is Protectservice Ltd. So, the website is definitely legitimate, the information about it is available online, and email addresses are also provided. Yet the application promotes it is certainly not legitimate.

We do not know who created inetoboz.com browser hijacker, but one thing is certain – those people are very fond of this website and would like to see its popularity grow. But they use deceptive means to achieve their goal. Once the application is installed it will change your browser’s default homepage to inetoboz.com and prevent you from rolling back the changes. Looking for this application in the Control Panel is useless. You will not find it there. And you definitely will not find it amongst your browsers list of add-ons. There is an uninstall executable located at %WINDIR%\unins000.exe. It will remove the program but the changes it has made will remain until you delete the target line from Google Chrome and Mozilla Firefox. But modifying the target line in IE is useless since the program makes changes to the registry of IE. So, you will need an antimalware application to make everything like it was before the infection appeared.

All in all, inetoboz.com is a malicious application that forces a particular website on you to view every time you start your web browser. The website is considered safe and poses no threat to your system’s security. But that does not mean that you should be forced to use it, especially if you do not speak Russian. So our answer to this problem is simple – get an antimalware program that would be capable of removing inetoboz.com. Our experts say the SpyHunter more than capable of dealing with this threat.
