Alertmonitor.org Description

Spyware Image
Alertmonitor.org is a browser hijacker that comes within a message on Skype. The user gets a message that begins with the following alert: "ATTENTION ! Security Center has detected malware on your computer!" and ends with a link that redirects to www.alertmonitor.org. Once you click onto that link, your computer will be scanned and you will be displayed with exaggerated and fake security alerts. Alertmonitor.org will offer then to purchase a "reliable" ant-spyware application that actually is a rogue app and does nothing.

To restore the original default homepage, open IE > go to Tools > Internet Options > Type the URL address of your desired website > Click "Use Current" > click "OK". But restoring your hompepage manually does not necessarily mean that you've gotten rid of the spyware infection that brought on the homepage hijacker. Safetysettings.com may be a sign that you've been infected with spyware or a trojan.

If, when Internet Explorer starts, you see any pop up windows telling you about a rogue anti-spyware program and how to remove spyware, then you're probably infected with a trojan and you will continue to be hijacked by safetysettings.com. Sometimes the hijackers prevent you from changing the homepage, or may allow you to temporarily change the homepage only to have safetysettings.com reappear later.

So what do you do? Scan your system with an anti-spyware program and remove the spyware infections detected.
