How to remove Veba Search (Virus Removal Guide)
VEBA SEARCH
Veba Search has been reported as a dubious search engine and browser attachment in the browser hijacker category of computer threats. The Veba Search virus (although not technically a computer virus) is known to corrupt and control internet browser settings of Google Chrome, Mozilla Firefox, and Microsoft Internet Explorer. In turn, browser add-ons and extensions, as well as Windows programs used to promote the website will cause affected internet browsers to redirect to vebasearch.com.
Veba Search.com manipulates potentially unwanted programs (PUPs), such as standalone browser helper objects (BHOs), browser add-ons, and browser extensions, as well as third-party attachments in order to utilize preset permissions allowing them to access and change a user’s existing internet browser settings. Changes made to affected internet browsers include the homepage, browser bookmark, internal search engine, and other settings. The Veba Search virus will eventually cause internet browser to redirect to vebasearch.com when users open a new browser window, open a new browser tab, or search the web using the affected browser’s address bar.
