Rondureblog

Rondureblog is a browser hijacker that can get installed in browsers such as Chrome, Edge, Firefox, Opera etc., in order to use them for its online advertising activity. Rondureblog generates sponsored ads on the screen of the hijacked browser and imposes changes that affect its primary search engine and homepage.

Apps like Rondureblog, Shampoo Extension and Altruistics are commonly identified by security experts as potentially unwanted pieces of software that need to be removed from the system. This is due to their ability to place unauthorized modifications to the system’s main web browser and change key settings such as the default homepage, the search engine, the navigation bar buttons and the new tab page.

The Rondureblog virus

The Rondureblog virus application is disliked by many web users because they may insert other special ad-generating components that continuously display hundreds of pop-ups, banners or other advertisements on the browser’s screen immediately when a new web search session is started. But probably the most irritating and common symptom that a browser hijacker like the Rondureblog virus has taken over your system is the automatic redirect activity that you can experience during your normal web browsing.

You can find concrete manual steps for the elimination of Rondureblog in the removal guide below. But if you can’t do it manually, there’s always a convenient way to get rid of it if you equip yourself with a professionally built removal tool, search your machine with it, and follow the provided instructions.

How to remove Rondureblog Pop up Virus

  1. First, click the Start Menu on your Windows PC.
  2. Type Programs and Settings in the Start Menu, click the first item, and find Rondureblog in the programs list that would show up.
  3. Select Rondureblog from the list and click on Uninstall.
  4. Follow the steps in the removal wizard.

If you have a Mac virus, please use our How to remove Ads on Mac guide.

If you have an Android virus, please use our Android Malware Removal guide.

If you have an iPhone virus, please use our iPhone Virus Removal guide.

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 Rondureblog.
  • If you find any of the programs suspicious then uninstall them if they turn out to be linked to Rondureblog.
  • 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.

Remove Rondureblog from Chrome

  1. Click on the three dots in the right upper corner
  2. Go to more tools
  3. Now select extensions
  4. Remove the Rondureblog extension
  • Once you open Chrome, click on the three-dots icon to open the browser’s menu, go to More Tools/ More Options, and then to Extensions.
  • Again, find the items on that page that could be linked to Rondureblog and/or that might be causing problems in the browser and delete them.
  • Afterwards, go to this folder: Computer > C: > Users > *Your User Account* > App Data > Local > Google > Chrome > User Data. In there, you will find a folder named Default – you should change its name to Backup Default and restart the PC.
  • Note that the App Data folder is normally hidden so you’d have to first make the hidden files and folders on your PC visible before you can access it.

How to get rid of Rondureblog on FF/Edge/etc.

  1. Open the browser and select the menu icon.
  2. From the menu, click on the Add-ons button.
  3. Look for the Rondureblog extension
  4. Get rid of Rondureblog by removing it from extensions

If using Firefox:

  • Open Firefox
  • Select the three parallel lines menu and go to Add-ons.
  • Find the unwanted add-on and delete it from the browser – if there is more than one unwanted extension, remove all of them.
  • Go to the browser menu again, select Options, and then click on Home from the sidebar to the left.
  • Check the current addresses for the browser’s homepage and new-tab page and change them if they are currently set to address(es) you don’t know or trust.

If using MS Edge/IE:

  • Start Edge
  • Select the browser menu and go to Extensions.
  • Find and uninstall any Edge extensions that look undesirable and unwanted.
  • Select Settings from the browser menu and click on Appearance.
  • Check the new-tab page address of the browser and if it has been modified by “Rondureblog” or another unwanted app, change it to an address that you’d want to be the browser’s new-tab page.

How to Delete Rondureblog

  1. Open task manager
  2. Look for the Rondureblog process
  3. Select it and click on End task
  4. Open the file location to delete Rondureblog
  • 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 “Rondureblog” 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 accuracy
    This 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.

    • If the scanner finds malware in any of the files, return to the Processes tab in the Task Manager, select the suspected process, and then select the End Process option to quit it.
    • Go back to the folder where the files of that process are located and delete all of the files that you are allowed to delete. 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.

    How to Uninstall Rondureblog

    1. Click on the home button
    2. Search for Startup Apps
    3. Look for Rondureblog in there
    4. Uninstall Rondureblog from Startup Apps by turning it off
    • Now you need to carefully search for and uninstall any Rondureblog-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 Rondureblog 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

    What Rondureblog can do?

    Once you enter a specific URL in your address bar, you will typically be redirected to other domain that is not connected to the web address you are actually interested in. This is definitely one of the worst aspects of having a browser hijacker in your system because it can mess up your browser’s overall performance and can dramatically reduce its speed and the quality of your browsing. Not to mention that being rerouted to websites you don’t know can always expose you to additional online dangers such as phishing pages or links that are used to distribute viruses, Ransomware, Spyware and other malicious software. Fortunately, if you follow certain steps, you can remove the intrusive software and easily uninstall its changes and buttons without leaving any trace. To make it quicker and more convenient for you, below we have published a manual removal guide and a professional removal tool that can speed up the process.


    What is Rondureblog?

    A number of Rondureblog users express concerns about the protection of their device and this is understandable considering the major changes that the browser hijacker makes without asking for their approval. There is, however, no evidence to date that Rondureblog operates as a virus or some other dangerous program. It is, therefore, not correct to call it a virus and to position it alongside threats such as Ransomware and Trojans. Many browser hijackers are not dangerous and cannot destroy a computer in the way viruses can. However, these programs tend to cause great browsing annoyance and are not entirely safe. A browser hijacker can redirect you to unknown or unsafe web pages anytime and can spam your screen with various questionable pop-up messages, banners and web offers of unknown origin. This is why experts tend to view them as potentially unwanted software and provide methods to uninstall them quickly and effectively.
