What is AstroMenda.com?
Astromenda Search is a browser hijacker which disguises itself as a useful browser add-on, to “enhance” your browsing experience. In reality it only serves you with additional advertisements and redirects all searches through astromenda.com. Astromenda hijacker is usually bundled with various freeware applications and is set to install by default. Therefore you may not notice the presence of Astromenda until you open your internet browser to see that your home page and search engine has changed to astromenda.com.
Astromenda affects major internet browsers like Google Chrome, Mozilla Firefox and Internet Explorer. Although it may have an uninstaller app in Windows Control Panel, additional measures need to be taken in order to completely get rid of this nasty infection.
