Is Systemservice.vbs a reliable and secure search engine?

Systemservice.vbs is a dubious online search service. This application is distributed as a browser extension that is available in various software packages, as well as free download links from the web, torrents, shareware websites and freeware platforms. So, it can easily get into the system without the user’s knowledge along with other programs that they may install. Once installed, Systemservice.vbs usually tends to modify the browser settings and affect the user’s browsing habits by initiating sponsored redirects and installing a new homepage or a search engine. The creators of this program present it as a tool, which helps users improve their browsing sessions. Still, because of its tendency to keep track of the users’ online habits and its tricky ways of spreading, this program is referred to as a potentially unwanted browser hijacker. Usually, this potentially unwanted program may:

  • Change the browser settings of Chrome, Internet Explorer, Mozilla Firefox or any other browser and prevent the users from reversing this process;
  • Redirect users to sponsored webpages by initiating sudden page redirects and sponsored search results;
  • Display a large amount of commercial content in various forms such as ads, banners, pop-ups, new tabs and others;
  • Promote questionable toolbars and  browser add-ons;
  • Redirect you to high-risk or potentially dangerous webpages where viruses such as Trojans and Ransomware may lurk.

Security specialists find that the so-called Systemservice.vbs has a typical behavior of a potentially unwanted program (PUP), which supports a constant cycle of ads generation, related to the Pay-Per-Click and the Pay-Per-View revenue-earning models. Such behavior is not virus-related, but this does not mean that its suggested content, search engine and homepage tools are safe to use. If you, as a user, are deprived of the opportunity to easily access the official site of the hijacker, the Privacy Policy and the Terms of Service of this program, you may not be able to learn what activities Systemservice.vbs may initiate, what information it may collect and for what purposes it may have.

Such software behavior can also indicate yet another common problem related to the typical representatives of the browser hijackers family – spying on users’ web activity by using cookies and other web elements. Typically, the collected information is not personal and is used for advertising purposes only. Still, though, you cannot be sure who has access to this information and what tracking technologies are being used. Therefore, this argument should encourage you to immediately uninstall Systemservice.vbs and all of its components from your browser. The professional Systemservice.vbs removal tool on this page, as well as the manual Removal Guide down below, will help you in this process. If you are looking for detailed instructions to manually remove Systemservice.vbs, see the end of the article. There you will find an illustrated and detailed explanation of how to accomplish this task.

How to keep browser hijackers away from your system?

If you do not to research what programs you actually download on your computer and how you install them, this may not only increase the chances of landing Systemservice.vbs, but you may also allow the installation of other dubious add-ons (or nasty viruses like Trojans and Ransomware). To avoid the trouble of getting potentially unwanted and dangerous applications, pay attention to the installation process and the options in the software installer. Installing unwanted applications can be avoided if you always choose “Custom” or “Advanced” settings over the “Standard/Quick/Recommended” ones. This way, you will be able to recognize additionally bundled applications and customize them. Once you’ve clicked on the Custom/Advanced options, you will receive access to settings, which allow you to opt out of any potentially unwanted programs, in case that such have been bundled inside the given setup.

How to uninstall Systemservice.vbs in such a way that it won’t return?

Normally, the browser hijackers place their files deep inside the system, and even if you manage to remove them from the browser once, the next time you start it, they will most probably reappear. To prevent that from happening with Systemservice.vbs, you can delete this program in two ways – either manually, by using the detailed Removal Guide below, or with the help of a malware removal tool. The latter is the faster option of the two and it will also help you fight other dangerous malware, in case that you have any on your system. Plus, if you combine these two methods, you will ensure that you have completely uninstalled Systemservice.vbs and scanned your system for other undesirable software.
