What is Findeer.com?

Findeer.com (can also be shown as search.findeer.com) is a browser hijacker, mostly targeted at Italian internet users. Although it may appear rather trustworthy at first sight, Findeer.com has the characteristics common to most browser hijackers: it uses tricky methods to install itself (via free software installers), modifies your browser (Internet Explorer, Mozilla Firefox, Google Chrome or Opera) to show its website whenever you load it and makes it difficult to remove without third party tools. Also, the searches that you conduct through your new home page or search bar will be redirected through Findeer.com, which may collect the data and use it for advertising purposes.

We suggest that you eliminate Findeer.com from your PC as soon as possible to keep your computer safe and prevent an identity theft, personal data loss or getting malware installed into your PC.
