Websearch.oversearch.info Removal Guide

If Websearch.oversearch.info suddenly becomes your home page address without any warning, it does not mean that you can use this search engine at ease. It actually may seem that an absolutely safe search provider has been set as your default search engine, but if your browser settings get modified without your permission, it means you have been infected with a browser hijacker.
