Access the Task Manager by pressing together the Ctrl + Alt + Del keys and then selecting Task Manager.
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 “Edytaweb” 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.
If you find another suspicious process, open its File Location too.
Once in the File Location folder for the suspicious process, start testing all of the files that are stored there by dragging them to our free online scanner available below.

If all files get deleted normally, exit the folder and delete that folder too. If one or more of the files showed an error message when you tried to delete them, leave them for now and return to try to delete them again once you’ve completed the rest of the guide.

What is Edytaweb?

Most Browser Hijackers are not very different in appearance from the typical browser toolbars and add-ons that can be found for most types of browsers and that offer new features and functionalities. However, their goal is different from what they usually claim to offer. The hijackers are programmed to take control over the main browsing program and to force the web users to consume unwanted advertising through automatic page-redirects and pop-ups that appear without control on the screen. Most of this advertising content comes from third-party sources which promote different products and services or too-good-to-be-true offers. Interacting with those offers may sometimes be beneficial, but, as with all aggressive online advertising content, one should be extra careful when getting presented with something questionable. Another thing to keep in mind is the possibility to land on some illegal site or on an infected link, which may insert real computer threats (Viruses, Trojans, Ransomware, etc.) inside the system. This risk may significantly increase if the Browser Hijacker initiates automatic page-redirects to different sites.
Fortunately, there is a way to avoid all the disturbance and the possible malware encounters. All you have to do is uninstall Edytaweb right away and restore the settings of your favorite browser. The easiest way to do that is to use the professional Edytaweb removal tool, which you can find in the removal guide below. Alternatively, you can follow the manual instructions and deal with the Browser Hijacker step by step. Just make sure you remove the correct files, because if you delete something else, you may end up making your system unusable.
