Remove Signalsearchsystem.com (Uninstall Guide)

Posted on 13:56 by Unknown
Signalsearchsystem.com is a ZeroAccess rootkit-related browser hijacker that redirects users to malicious and very often completely irrelevant web pages. Web search engines, let's say Google or Yahoo!, generate a normal list of search results. If you click on any of the results however, the status bar at the bottom of the web browser says Waiting for signalsearchsystem.com.



What this rootkit actually does is route you to the fake search engine and then redirect to malicious web page or websites filled with advertisements. If the keyword is not profitable ZeroAccess related malware will simply load the requested website. One way or another, you will notice that websites are taking longer to load than usual. Not to mention that random pop-up ads may appear on your computer screen advertising products and services, for example WeLoveFilms toolbar.

What is more, Windows Firewall alerts may show up occasionally asking you to unblock certain applications. That's because ZeroAccess rootkit injects malicious code into system files to bypass Windows firewall.



But probably the most common sign of this infection is a randomly named process running on your computer. It has a very specific structure, there's no way you won't recognize it: numbers:numbers.exe, for example 516841384:54383211.exe.



The bad news is, that you can't end it manually. Doing sustem restore won't help either. ZeroAccess rootkit injects malicious code into Windows system files. You can't just delete them, you need to repair those files otherwise your machine may become unresponsive. The good news however, is that you can use Webroot's ZeroAccess removal tool and TDSSKiller to remove the rootkit. Both tools are free and safe. So, to stop signalsearchsystem.com redirects and to remove the rootkit from your computer, please follow the removal instructions below. Please note, that your should scan your computer with recommend anti-malware software to remove the leftovers of this infection and additionally downloaded malware. If you need help removing this virus, please leave a comment below. Good luck and be safe online!
