Urambled
Urambled is a potentially unwanted application that can get installed in any browser and cause it to initiate page-redirects and show invasive ads on the screen. Apps like Urambled are categorized as browser hijackers and experts advise to uninstall them to keep the computer safe.
The presence of Urambled in your computer could not only be irritating but could also make your system less safe and more likely to get attacked by some highly dangerous malware infections the likes of Trojan Horses or Ransomware viruses. That is why it is important to learn how to uninstall Urambled and liberate your browser from its presence. There, however, isn’t a simple method to do this manually, as most hijackers don’t provide the user with a straightforward uninstallation method. Instead, they latch onto browsers such as Firefox, Safari, Edge, and Chrome and fill them with ads, replace their search engines, install new toolbars, and cause automatic page-redirects to ad-heavy sites.
The Unrambled.com virus
The Unrambled.com virus change the addresses of the starting page and/or of the new-tab page so that the newly added ones would provide further exposure to some of the hijacker’s partnering sites. To prevent getting uninstalled easily, the Unrambled.com virus also makes changes in the system Registry.
Those changes are both difficult to locate and remove and they may also potentially make the affected system less safe and more exposed to other hazards from the Internet. In and of itself, a browser hijacker like Urambled or Reverse Captcha wouldn’t typically damage anything in the computer where it’s installed.

- Open Processes and there try to find a process with the name of the unwanted software. If you find it, select it with the right button of the mouse and click on the Open File Location option.
- If you don’t see a “Urambled” process in the Task Manager, look for another suspicious process with an unusual name. It is likely that the unwanted process would be using lots of RAM and CPU so pay attention to the number of resources each process is using.
- Tip: If you think you have singled out the unwanted process but are not sure, it’s always a good idea to search for information about it on the Internet – this should give you a general idea if the process is a legitimate one from a regular program or from your OS or if it is indeed likely linked to the adware.

- Now you need to carefully search for and uninstall any Hostingcloud. racing-related entries from the Registry. The easiest way to do this is to open the Registry Editor app (type Regedit in the windows search field and press Enter) and then open a Find dialog (CTRL+F key combination) where you have to type the name of the threat.
- Perform a search by clicking on the Find Next button and delete any detected results. Do this as many times as needed until no more results are found.
- After that, to ensure that there are no remaining entries lined to Urambled in the Registry, go manually to the following directories and delete them:
- HKEY_CURRENT_USER/Software/Random Directory.
- HKEY_CURRENT_USER/Software/Microsoft/Windows/CurrentVersion/Run/Random
- HKEY_CURRENT_USER/Software/Microsoft/Internet Explorer/Main/Random
Even if Unrambled makes changes in the System Registry, this will still typically not cause any direct harm (at least in most cases). However, the fact that there’s an unwanted app in your computer that messes with your browser, constantly exposes you to ads and sites with unknown origins, and tampers with the settings of your computer’s registry means that the chances of landing a damaging threat such as a Trojan or a Ransomware are greatly increased. One of the most common sources of malware are the various types of malicious ads that can be encountered all over the Internet. We aren’t saying that all of the ads displayed by Urambled are like that, but there’s still a chance that some of them might be unsafe or at least be linked to some online addresses with questionable content. Therefore, even if Urambled doesn’t represent a direct threat to the health and security of your system, its uninstallation is still advisable as this will help keep your computer safer.
As we already pointed out in the paragraph above, removing apps like Urambled isn’t particularly easy considering how software of this type is usually intentionally made to have a difficult removal. Nevertheless, if you follow our guidance and make use of the removal tool linked below, we believe that you should be able to take care of the unwanted app and remove everything that it has installed in your browser. And in case you don’t understand something from the removal guide, you can always ask for help in the comments section.
