Because most browser hijackers will make undesirable changes to your browser's settings and can include non-browser-specific components, SpywareRemove.com malware experts don't recommend that you try to disable and delete Searchfunmoods.com-related browser hijackers in the same way that you'd delete a normal add-on for your browser.
