Context: I have three web browsers installed on my Windows 10 computer which are Chrome, Firefox, and Opera.

Problem: Whichever browser I newly open, they all start with this website:http://007eecfcfedlkh.jumpkj.chuairan.com/index.html

How it happened: I clicked a link on a website yesterday and it automatically downloaded several applications and automatically installed themselves without showing any instructions to install them.

Thing I have tried: I have reset the browser On startup setting to open my homepage, but it still opens with the aforementioned weird URL.

Thing that may help: Opera browser is very considerate cause it has this option regarding the On startup setting, which is Ask me when Opera is started by a shortcut specifying an URL.

Analysis and need your help: Usually, I start a browser by clicking on the shortcut in Windows start menu, or the shortcut in desktop. This worked normally until the problem appeared. According to Thing that may help, this hostile URL must reside somewhere. Where can I find this unwelcoming shortcut on my computer? How come this shortcut can attach itself to every web browser on my computer? What is the next step I can do to resolve this problem? Is this kind of a virus?

CodePudding user response：

I think you shoud uninstall these applications first.

CodePudding user response：

Usually when that happens, you'll have to:

• reset the browser settings (or at least reset the startup websites on settings)
• go to the browser .exe, open it's properties and remove any flags that were added on the path.
