Nattly.com Screenshot 1Nattly.com is a search site that usually only is encountered by victims of browser hijackers used to promote Nattly.com, such as the Nattly Defender or Nattly Search programs. These browser hijackers modify your search and homepage settings to force your browsers to load Nattly.com and also may disable various Web-browsing security features – leaving your overall PC security noticeably worse off than before they were installed. Although, by itself, Nattly.com does not pose a threat to your computer, SpywareRemove.com malware researchers urge you to remove any software related to Nattly.com and use anti-malware software to confirm their uninstallation at any signs of resistance.

Nattly.com: the Search Engine that Likes You Too Much to Leave You Alone

Like a stalker with a crush, Nattly.com doesn't give you any advantages for its presence but insists on keeping your company – even when you've made it clear that you'd rather be on any other website. Nattly.com browser hijacks that redirect you to this search site usually are accomplished through one of its 'official' browser add-ons like Nattly Defender. Installation methods for Nattly.com hijackers may be non-consensual and usually may be disguised as unrelated Web content. However, SpywareRemove.com malware researchers haven't seen any cases of Nattly.com hijackers being distributed through spam or hacked websites, and a basic amount of caution about which sites you try to visit should keep your browser far from the most common Nattly.com hijacker infection vectors.

Nattly.com, as another minor search site, doesn't provide any compromising content of its own, and loading Nattly.com usually may not endanger you or your computer. While SpywareRemove.com malware experts see no reason to stress total avoidance of Nattly.com, they do warn that Nattly.com hijackers that redirect your browser without your permission are Web-browsing security issues and should be removed as soon as possible.

Getting Your Web Searches Off of a Nattly.com Derail

Nattly.com hijackers usually are designed to be exceptionally difficult to uninstall, and SpywareRemove.com malware analysts even have been able to confirm that some of them have a history of resisting anti-malware tools designed explicitly to remove similar PC threats. To enable the total deletion of Nattly.com-related threats insofar as it's possible, you usually should begin by disabling all threats through Safe Mode or, if necessary, a peripheral device-based system restart. Afterward, your anti-malware programs should be able to remove all disabled malware without any interference.

Since Nattly.com hijackers often disguise themselves as useful browser add-ons but don't have any advantages for your browser, it's important to be able to differentiate between benign and potentially unsafe plugins. SpywareRemove.com malware experts find that any browser add-on that changes your homepage or default search engine without your permission is, at least, a Potentially Unwanted Program that almost always should be uninstalled at the first opportunity.
