IStartPageing is among the websites that rely on another sort of traffic. Instead of attracting visitors of third party pages, it relies on adverting plug-in. The plug-in is classified as adware and browser hijacker. The hijacker is installed into computer system and affects its browsers. The browser is hijacked as its settings are adjusted to ensure redirect to pesky websites. One of the websites is IStartPageing.com.
Unlike in case of online redirecting one cannot just quit visiting the address. The visits are forced by the infection dropped into operating system. In order to get rid of IStartPageing redirect, you, if you get your device infected, need to remove IStartPageing adware. The consideration sounds a bit self-obvious. However, it has been worth making as many try to remove the redirect focusing on browser settings only.
True, the hijacker hacks browsers affecting their settings. It is true as well that it maintains the settings. Hence if you fix the settings to proper values, the adware anyway sets them back to those enabling its redirects.
While the website seems to be but unneeded preliminary before decent search services such as Google it is actually supported by dangerous piece of adware. Removal of IStartPageing goes beyond eliminating useless but rather harmless redirect. It is a matter of ensuring your online privacy and safety.
