Webhome-page.com Removal Guide

Webhome-page.com might look like a fascinating search tool as it allows you to customize its appearance “by choosing from beautiful photo backgrounds or hand-picked solid colors.” The application’s description also encourages users to “stop wasting time and start getting answers with Webhome-page.com,” but it is only a colorful phrase to convince users of the tool’s usefulness. In reality, the application falls under the classification of browser hijackers, since it might change your browser settings and show you altered search results with potentially harmful third-party advertisements. Therefore, instead of answers, you might receive annoying ads that could lead you to trouble. Luckily, you do not need to put up with this browser hijacker as you can slide below the text and eliminate the threat while following the manual removal instructions.

The application’s Privacy Policy and End User License Agreement documents reveal that Webhome-page.com was created by a doubtful company called Bontio, Inc. or Bontio Media. Apparently, it is the same developer that published a browser hijacker called Homepage-web.com and other similar threats. There is not much information about this company on the Internet, but since it develops potentially dangerous applications, we do not think it would be wise to trust it.

Furthermore, we believe Webhome-page.com could travel bundled with other software. Therefore, it might be easier to overlook the search engine’s suggestion on the setup wizard and install it accidentally. To avoid such mistakes, it would be advisable to pick advanced installation settings if the configuration wizard offers such option. Otherwise, you might be unable to look through all suggestions on the setup wizard and deselect any programs you do not want to install. There are other ways to spread such unreliable applications too, so for your computer’s security, it might be more efficient to use the antimalware software. After all, a reliable security tool can guard the computer not only from malware but also from lesser threats.

If Webhome-page.com settles on the system, it could replace your browser preferences by changing your homepage, search engine, etc. Most likely, these changes are necessary because the hijacker’s creators need you to use the search engine so they could inject the results with third-party advertisements and receive revenue from your clicks. The displayed ads might promote various websites, applications, and other products. The main problem is that some of the advertised content could be potentially harmful, for example, it may lead to web pages, which spread malicious programs or promote other browser hijackers, adware, etc. Thus, it is not advisable to use it or keep it on the system, if you do not want to take any risks.

Removing Webhome-page.com manually should not be too complicated even for inexperienced users. As our specialists say it should be enough to reset the browser and the hijacker would no longer bother you. However, if you do not want to delete it manually, you can erase the threat with a trustworthy security tool as well. It might be the best option if you want to delete other suspicious programs too or clean the system since it can locate and remove multiple threats at the same time.
