Zquirrel.com

Although many computer users believe that Zquirrel.com is a browser hijacker, our research team has found that it is an unreliable search provider, at worst. It was found that this search tool is very similar to another suspicious search provider, friendlyerror.com. Unsurprisingly, both of these search tools share the same interface, which is why we believe that they were created by the same company. Despite this, the privacy policies that are associated with these programs are different, and the Privacy Policy at zquirrel.com/privacy?src=search_home reveals that ClickMeIn Technologies Ltd. is the company responsible for the suspicious search tool that we recommend deleting from your browsers. Do you know why you should remove Zquirrel.com?

If you have not agreed to change your homepage and search provider to Zquirrel.com, you have to remove a browser hijacker. However, our researchers have found that, in most cases, computer users install this search tool themselves. It is also possible that you will download Zquirrel.com along with the Zquirrel App that is compatible with Google Chrome. This software usually comes packaged with third-party programs that might be even more suspicious and unreliable. If you suspect that you need to delete these programs, we suggest that you do this without further delay. Even if the programs installed along with the search tool or the add-on look harmless, you might have to delete them.

Even if you restore your DNS settings, you should delete Zquirrel.com ASAP.
