How to remove (uninstall) Stimafigu.info

Have you seen annoying banners on your favorite sites that come from the Stimafigu.info search? Have you seen the presence of Stimafigu.info somewhere else on the PC? If anything similar happened in later days – your computer is infected with adware, and our guide was written to help you in uninstalling it.

What is Stimafigu.info

The virus that distributes ads is called Stimafigu.info, and it is adware. Stimafigu.info can do nothing well, as it was made to do one thing: to irritate you. Surely, the mere irritation is not its real task, but it’s lightly delivered when the virus does its job – displays the advertising content. When the penetration is complete, it changes the browser controls and shows you tons of ads, to ensure that you click at least on a few of them. Adware owners earn some tiny amount of money for every click you’ve made, and now you realize why the links keep appearing: it’s pure money. In the sections below, we will explain in which manner Stimafigu.info got onto the computer and how it might be guarded against similar viruses. In case you know all you need on that topic and simply want to remove Stimafigu.info ASAP – don't mind the following sections and look at the removal guide.

As soon as the infection is performed, Stimafigu.info modifies the properties of the browser. It’s the best that it can do, because the core function in this play is passed to the “better search” to which you get redirected. So, the virus changes the pre-set start page, as well as the default search and puts the fake website instead of them. After that you cannot use the reputable Google, Bing, Yahoo or any other search you're used to – you will surf the Net through the miserable scammers' search, displaying advertising banners fake websites pop-ups and other stuff like that. Another adware's task is to alter the properties of browser shortcuts so that even if you recover the normal controls, you'll see the fake search engine as a first tab.

If you have already tried to erase Stimafigu.info, you could notice that it reinstalls, no matter how many times you erased it. It happens because of the adware’s defensive systems, and we will unriddle to you how they function:

• The easiest manner of protection is to make a scheduled task on the restoration of the virus after its deletion. System tasks are not frequently used by regular computer users, so the adware simply creates a task to check if it is running, and if it’s not – to get and install it again. This task is being launched every time you reboot the workstation, and thanks to it Stimafigu.info keeps returning.
• The second way is pretty much like the previous one, but it utilizes the system registry instead of the Scheduled Tasks service. You must clear the registry to defeat this way, but it is a rather hard task for a novice user. All other registry entries are needed for your PC to function, and by clearing any of them, you can cause significant damage to the OS.

How Stimafigu.info got on your computer

To make it clear, we will describe the process in total. Most of the advertisement-oriented tools are each other's copies, duplicated many times and sold to third-grade web-criminals with lesser alterations made. One of those guys bought this one in the Dark Web, tuned it and published it on file-exchanging sites all over the Web. And then, you visited the website and downloaded it. Wait, you’re sure that you didn’t search for a utility that will drive you mad? Maybe, you searched for the best recipe to endanger your PC, and received a direct link to Stimafigu.info download? Still no? Well, in that case, it was some tool that's really helpful. Some free program from a not-so-famous company, or a cracked version of some well-known tool you didn’t want to purchase.

This method is known as “bundled installation”, and it's based on that scammers unite the installation files of 3-4 viruses and a sole good tool to create one package. The principal peculiarity of that package is that its pattern interferes a victim from seeing the viruses inside of it. On some of the steps, you're allowed to see a proposal to download additional viruses, with the required checkmarks filled and the mouse cursor is already hovering over “proceed”. We assume that you proceeded, if you're reading this article. Don't forget about another technique, with the “manners of installation”. In most cases, the installation for experienced users provides you with the possibility to pick where you want this software to be installed, and how many extra utilities do you want. In case of Stimafigu.info, if you clicked the recommended installation, you allow all the trash from the bundle into your system.
