However, all the default settings have been changed to unknown strange website. What is the best way to get rid of this threat and get my browser back to normal? I need your help!

How to Clean or Remove Bardiscover.com Virus?

Bardiscover.com is a risky browser hijack virus pretending to be an attractive search engine website. It looks like a website as simple as google.com. There is only a search bar on the whole page. If you click on its infected links, unpleasant things may happen. However, the search results may be a little different from Google¡¯s. They will redirect you to some very malicious websites which Bardiscover.com works with. So the search results are not real. The malicious script will slip into the system once you click on the sponsored links. It can allow other unknown Trojan or backdoor programs to insert system. For instance, the level of the browser security will be decreased. It is dangerous because your personal information, such as payment card details, may be stolen by some viruses when you buy something online or carry out other actions. Sometimes, the files stored on your computer can be stolen as well. Some people may get into worse condition, for instance, the virus encrypt some personal files and you can never decrypt them easily. The worst thing is that you won¡¯t be able to open them!

This disguising website virus can modify start menu settings, Windows registry settings as well as browser settings. Certainly, when you visit some other malicious websites, your computer is likely to be infected by other malware. Actually, not all websites are safe to browse and not all files are safe to open, either.
