  • LOADSTART.NET is a fake and unwanted website
    application which is part of Adware/Shortcut
    Hijacker virus. It has been classified as a
    member of malicious browser hijacker virus. It is
    said that this virus is capable of changing your
    installed browsers shortcuts and modifying your
    default homepage and search engine without your
    permission. Thus, each time when you start to
    browse, you will be redirected to LOADSTART.NET
    automatically. Whats worse, you cant change
    your previous start-up page back as before. You
    dont even know how malicious this virus can be,
    do you?

  • Once installed, kinds of various pop-ups, ads,
    banners, shortcuts, may display everywhere on
    your desktop and website screen. You cant find a
    way to close them completely since they can pop
    up again automatically after you close the
    windows. In addition, this virus has the ability
    to change your DNS settings. So, sometime, while
    you are browsing the Internet, you cant visit
    websites normally or will be locked out from some
    websites. One word, once infected, your computer
    will have to face kinds of computer troubles and
    errors. If you want to get your computer back to
    normal again, you are suggested to get rid of
    LOADSTART.NET redirect virus as soon as you can.

  • According to many reliable reports on the
    internet, the LOADSTART.NET is a browser hijacker
    that causes a lot of problems for the computer
    user. A browser hijacker is a type of unwanted
    program usually used to force hits to a
    particular website to increase advertising
    revenue. It works to modify the settings of a web
    browser without a users permission to inject
    unwanted advertising into the users browser.
    That is why many users whose computers have been
    infected with the LOADSTART.NET virus say that
    they are flooded with tons of unwanted ads while
    they are surfing the internet with their infected
    browsers.

5
  • In general, the computer users home page,
    search page, new tab page and error page are
    often the targets located by the browser
    hijacker. It may replace all these pages with its
    own in order to serve its immoral and illegal
    purpose. So it can evidence in a degree that your
    computer has been corrupted by a certain browser
    hijacker like LOADSTART.NET when you find you are
    directed to an unknown page all the time as you
    click the homepage button on your browser or when
    you try to use your search engine to search
    something from the internet, but the browser just
    gives you a result page full of suspicious ads
    and sponsored links dedicated to certain
    websites.

6
  • Apart from tons of suspicious ads and sponsored
    links, a browser hijacker as violent as
    LOADSTART.NET will result in other more serious
    troubles such as degrading the performance of the
    computer, corrupting your reliable programs,
    installing a spyware to keep watch on your
    activities and stealing your sensitive
    information or financial information for illegal
    purpose. So it is suggested to wipe out the
    LOADSTART.NET browser hijacker thoroughly as soon
    as you find it on your system
