Resystem24
The goal of the changes that Resystem24 makes in the infected browser are to turn the latter into a platform for aggressive online ads.
We understand that you might be worried about your computer’s safety and health if you currently have an app like Resystem24 installed on it. However, we need to tell you that this is not a real virus. Actual malware threats the likes of spyware, rootkits, Trojans or ransomware cryptoviruses are way more dangerous and harmful than an app like Resystem24 .
Obstructive and invasive pop-ups, ads and page-redirects, changes to the new-tab page or to the homepage of your browser as well as replacement of the toolbar and the search engine are all things that can happen to your Firefox, Chrome, Edge or maybe even Safari browsers if you have the invasive hijacker inside your system. The good news is that the symptoms we’ve just mentioned are likely not going to lead to any serious issues, especially if you take the necessary actions and remove the hijacker as soon as possible.
The problem many users tend to face here, however, is that it may be a bit difficult to fully uninstall a browser hijacker app like the one we are currently focusing on since most such applications are made in a way that allows them to remain on the computer for long periods of time and to even reinstall themselves after having been seemingly removed. However, with the help of the instructions that we have prepared for you in the removal guide at the bottom of this page, you should have no difficulty removing Resystem24 and bringing your browser back to its regular state.
SUMMARY:

What we suggest you do first is, check the list of programs that are presently installed on the infected device and uninstall any rogue software that you find there:
- From the Start Menu, navigate to Control Panel ->>> Programs and Features ->>> Uninstall a Program.
- Next, carefully search for unfamiliar programs or programs that have been installed recently and could be related to Resystem24.
- If you find any of the programs suspicious then uninstall them if they turn out to be linked to Resystem24.
- If a notification appears on your screen when you try to uninstall a specific questionable program prompting you to just alter it or repair it, make sure you choose NO and complete the steps from the removal wizard.

- 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 “Resystem24” 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.
- Each file will be scanned with up to 64 antivirus programs to ensure maximum accuracyThis scanner is free and will always remain free for our website's users.This file is not matched with any known malware in the database. You can either do a full real-time scan of the file or skip it to upload a new file. Doing a full scan with 64 antivirus programs can take up to 3-4 minutes per file.

What you should know about the Resystem24 ads?
Even if Resystem24, Total Recaptcha or Link2captcha aren’t really viruses or ransomwares or Trojan horses, it’s still not advisable to postpone and procrastinate their removal and the reason for that is the fact it’s still possible that a hijacker like this one may lead to the exposure of your computer system to different hazards (albeit indirectly and not purposefully). What we are referring to here are the ads and the page redirects to different webpages that hijackers are typically known to generate.
While some of the commercial materials may be legitimate, others could be fake and deceitful and if you decide to explore them, you may get tricked into downloading more unwanted software and purchasing low-quality items and programs you really don’t need. Furthermore, many hackers heavily rely on malicious and compromised adverts as a means of getting their noxious malware infections inside more systems which further increases the importance of not allowing any advertising-oriented software to spam you with random advertisements while you are browsing the web.
Lastly, remember to be careful with the sources of program downloads that you use in the future as the main way users get hijackers installed on their computers is by downloading low-quality free applications and programs that have the browser redirect/hijacker bundled with them.
