UStart.org

Ustart.org is a customizable starting page site that monitors your online history, such as which sites you visit, to adjust its content for providing 'relevant' links. Although Ustart.org is not especially associated with any kind of distribution of PC threats, there have been alerts of browser hijackers that redirect their victims to Ustart.org, forcing their browsers to load Ustart.org. Ustart.org browser hijacks appear to be focusing on targeting French-speaking PC users, but similar attacks are applicable to most PCs, and anti-malware products always should be used to delete browser hijackers and similar forms of browser-changing malware.

Why Your Browser Keeps Starting on Ustart.org

Ustart.org provides the seemingly harmless service of organizing an optional homepage with various graphical design elements, articles and links, along with its search engine. To have access to all of its custom options, Ustart.org requests that you install a non-malicious browser extension, which is compatible with most browsers.
SpywareRemove.com malware experts haven't found any negative traits associated with Ustart.org's normal plugin, and consider it safe to install or remove at your pleasure. The same isn't true for all types of software interested in marketing Ustart.org, which also includes some browser hijackers and other programs that install Ustart.org's plugin without your consent. The most usual symptoms of such PC threats are your homepage being set to Ustart.org, your searches being redirected to Ustart.org and being unable to reverse these issues through any appropriate changes to your browser's settings.

Getting Started on Getting Away from Ustart.org

Even though your browser's loading Ustart.org isn't dangerous inherently, SpywareRemove.com malware researchers warn that most browser hijackers, even for sites like Ustart.org, tend to have functions that reduce your computer's Web-browsing security. Along with such risks, being redirected to Ustart.org also can be problematic in that Ustart.org may prevent you from using a normal homepage, default search engine or other features that are expected of any browser.

Based on their past attacks, SpywareRemove.com malware researchers consider frequenters of French-language sites to be of the greatest danger of being infected by browser hijackers that are linked to Ustart.org. As always, however, it should be kept in mind that similar browser hijacks are an extremely pervasive, flexible and popular PC threat throughout the world.

Thankfully, most anti-malware applications are more than capable of deleting Ustart.org browser hijackers, unwanted extensions and other PC threats linked to Ustart.org that control your browser in impermissible ways. Updating your anti-malware products before scanning your computer, scanning from Safe Mode and keeping your browser closed all can help to assist with the process of removing PC threats as quickly and completely as possible.
