    When I try to remove Websearches, I get the message waiting… uninstaller is preparing the necessary data and lasts for hours without remove it. It seems impossible to remove it.

      I have the perfect solution, this happend to me too. All you have to do is Download Revo Uninstaller Pro. It once you Launch and Open it, you will see all the Programs. Simply right click Websearchers and click uninstall. It will Immediately uninstall. Then if you want, you can scan for any leftovers and Clean. ;3 Hope this helped.

      This is nothing serious, it happened to me aswell. Just wait till the bar is fully loaded and in the right down corner of the window is the button continue – you have to click on that, then tick shortcut to remove it and click on continue again. Problem solved ;)

      1. Enter "about:config" (without the quotes) in the Firefox location bar and press Enter.
      2. Click the I'll be careful, I promise button to continue.
      3. In the Search box at the top, enter "webssearches" (without the quotes).
      4. Right-click on every 'webssearches' value and select 'Reset' from the drop-down menu.

    I run the Adware cleaner and it discovers the istart.websearches.com and deletes it but then it reboots and its back again. Even if I manually delete it in the IE settings as the home page and replace it with the default google.com its back as soon as I go off that tab.

      1. From Internet Explorer’s main menu, click: the “gear” icon at the top right corner and choose “Internet Options”.
      2. Go to “Advanced Tab”.
      3. Click the “Reset” button > Check to enable the “Delete Personal Settings”.
      4. Press “Reset”.
      5. Restart IE.
      Also “Right-click” on all Internet browser shortcuts (e.g. Internet Explorer, Mozilla Firefox, Google Chrome) and choose “Properties”.
      Press the “Shortcut” tab and at the “Target” field, delete the “http:\\websearches\…” argument at the end of “Target” command.

    Hey I have a problem, I got this at my chrome, I already cleaned it from the browser. But I still have it in the control panel/program features. When I want to uninstall it, dialog box with chinese language appear, I don't know what is that mean. Is there anyone got the same problem with me? And what should I do?

    Thanks. But if I make shortcuts in the quick launch bar, it comes back. If starting both IE and FF from there. Starting IE or FF from the desktop is ok. Something is "left" and hidden when doing them startups from the Quick Launch bar. Mind you, this is Win XP (yes yes, I know… but).

    Aftes remove the problems from the computer will be convenient to edit the HOSTS file of the computers adding this lines at the end

    127.0.0.1 ww*w.webssearches.com
    127.0.0.1 *.webssearches.com
    127.0.0.1 istart.webssearches.com
    127.0.0.1 69.28.57.22

    It prevents that the computer and softwares link the websearchers site again.

      @insights: 1. Download and run RogueKiller. 2. Press the “Scan” button (when pre-scan operation is complete). 3. Be patient until Rogue Killer scans your system. 4. When the scan is finished select all items found at “Registry” & “Web Browsers” tabs. 5. Press the “Delete” button to clean them.
      Continue to rest steps.

      If you don't find 'Websearches' in control panel, then uninstall any other unknown or unwanted program and then continue to other steps.
