Remove Lasaoren - Here's how

If your homepage on Lasaoren.com has changed, you have caught adware that you should quickly remove. We'll show you exactly what you need to do.

Step 1: remove Lasaoren

Lasaoren is adware that usually gets onto your computer by installing other software. You are primarily offered a search engine, but a dubious browser extension is also installed. It is not known what damage this add-on does. Therefore, although it is not a virus in the strict sense, you should remove the software as soon as possible:

• Uninstalling Lasaoren: Open the list of installed programs in the Control Panel and search for "Lasaoren Search". Remove the program and all other unknown additions. You can find detailed instructions in the article Uninstalling the Windows program.
• AdwCleaner: This free tool scans browser, system and registry for malicious files and also removes the last remains of Lasaoren.
• Malwarebytes Anti-Malware: To be on the safe side, you can check your computer for other malware. This free virus scanner has a high detection rate and reliably deletes malware.

Step 2: remove Lasaoren from the browser

If you still notice the effects of Lasaoren after the removal, you still have to reset your browser. All saved settings are deleted. Perform the following instructions for all installed browsers:

• Reset Google Chrome
• Reset Mozilla Firefox
• Reset Internet Explorer
