Search.yourcurrentnewsnow.com Removal Guide

There might be several variations of the same software, and now we are dealing with the new version of a program from the notorious MindSpark family. This program changes your default homepage to Search.yourcurrentnewsnow.com, and it leaves us no other choice but to label it a browser hijacker. As it is common with almost all MindSpark applications, you can download the program and change your homepage willingly via its official website. However, Search.yourcurrentnewsnow.com might be set as your default homepage when you download and install freeware from unrelated third-party websites. In that case the removal is imminent, and the sooner you get rid of this application, the better.

If you happen to open the official website for Search.yourcurrentnewsnow.com accidentally, you would be tempted to install the search engine on your browser. Yourcurrnetnewsnow.com says that you can “watch Breaking News and Live Coverage on your computer,” and the program should help you access Fox News, CNN, MSNBC and local channels without any difficulties. Thus, it would be hard to say that the program is an extremely dangerous infection, especially as it gives you the opportunity to decide whether you really want it or not.

On the other hand, we have to consider the fact that Search.yourcurrentnewsnow.com also travels bundled with freeware. If you happen to download and install this program with other applications, then it is very likely that you breezed through the installation wizard without even bothering to read all the important steps. The next time you opened your default browser (be it Google Chrome, Mozilla Firefox or Internet Explorer), your homepage was already modified for Search.yourcurrentnewsnow.com.

Now, some users may think that it is no big deal, and they can simply use this search engine to perform their usual web searches. Yet, that would be a mistake to think so because the browser hijacker definitely monitors your online activity. What’s more, it also changes your default search engine to the modified version of Yahoo! Search, providing you with customized search results. Some of them might be related to your most recent searches or the websites you have visited. Search.yourcurrentnewsnow.com needs to display custom search results because that increases the chances of you clicking any of the promoted links. If this happens, the people behind generate profit via the pay-per-click system, and everybody wins.

Well, except for you. You get nothing in return for doing all the work. And in the worst-case scenario you might also end up with a dangerous program on your computer. Thus, your job right now is to remove Search.yourcurrentnewsnow.com from your computer as soon as possible.

You will need to restore your browser settings by change your homepage, search engine, and deleting the extension that has been added to your browser by Search.yourcurrentnewsnow.com.
