Remove Vi-View - Here's how

If the start page of your browser has changed to the Vi-View search engine, you should remove the adware immediately. We'll show you how it's done.

Step 1: remove Vi-View adware from Windows

Vi-View uses the websites vi-view.com, myhome.vi-view.com and searches.vi-view.com. This is relatively harmless adware that has mostly sneaked into your PC by installing other software.

• Uninstall Vi-View: Open the Control Panel and sort the list of installed programs according to the installation date. Find and remove the "Vi-View" entry and all other unknown additions here. You can find detailed step-by-step instructions in the practical tip "Uninstall Windows programs".
• AdwCleaner: The free AdwCleaner usually does the rest. The tool searches the browser, system and registry for the remains of Vi-View and removes them.
• Malwarebytes Anti-Malware: If you want to play it safe, a virus scan cannot hurt. Vi-View may not be the only pest you caught.

Step 2: Remove Vi-View adware from the browser

If Vi-View has still not said goodbye to your browser, you should completely reset it. Perform this process for all installed browsers, even if you are not currently using them.

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