Chromstera browser is an unwanted program that disguises itself as a web browser. This program in fact collects personal information and spawns unwanted ads. Most often, users get this app without consent – through software bundles or questionable ads on the Web.
Despite looking like an average Chromium browser, Chromstera does numerous intrusions to the system, making it work as it wants. As the result, users may notice numerous pop-ups and redirections in other web browsers. This thing explains the mess as its monetization way.
Chromstera Browser Virus Overview
Chromstera Browser is a program that falls under the category of rogue browsers. This type of program mimics a genuine browser program, but in fact works as an adware or browser hijacker. Within the app, users will notice their search queries being redirected to other search engines, particularly Yahoo and Bing.
The worst part of Chromstera surfaces when you try to use other browsers. Through the selection of background changes, this thing forces Chrome, Firefox or whatever browser you normally use to open random pages. Those pages offer you to install “a required security plugin” or “install a browser update”. As you may guess, none of these claims are legitimate, leading to more unwanted apps and browser plugins to be installed into your system.
Every single of this action aims at earning money. Chromstera piggybacks on the user: every single advertisement or redirection brings money to its developers at the expense of the user’s comfort. That’s why I recommend removing it as soon as possible.
How did I get this thing?
Unwanted programs like Chromstera commonly opt for software bundling as their primary spreading way. Freeware and cracked programs use bundling to monetize their spreading, though the consequences for a user are pretty much ignored. By carefully checking each of the installation steps, you can avoid installing a bunch of unwanted programs, but not all of the bundle installers allow you to do this.
How to Uninstall Chromstera Browser?
Chromstera can be uninstalled through the Windows’ list of programs, as it usually adds itself to it. However, as I’ve said, it is possible to get this rogue browser in software bundle, so there is a chance that it is not the only unwanted program in the system. Finding and removing all of them is a rather complicated process. For that reason, I recommend using dedicated tools for that purpose.

When the browsers are reset, you need to ensure that your browser will connect the right DNS while connecting to the web page you need. Create a text file titled “hosts” on your PC’s desktop, then open it and fill it with the following lines1:
# Copyright (c) 1993-2006 Microsoft Corp. # # This is a sample HOSTS file used by Microsoft TCP/IP for Windows. # # This file contains the mappings of IP addresses to host names. Each # entry should be kept on an individual line. The IP address should # be placed in the first column followed by the corresponding host name. # The IP address and the host name should be separated by at least one # space. # # 另外, comments (such as these) may be inserted on individual # lines or following the machine name denoted by a '#' symbol. # # For example: # # 102.54.94.97 rhino.acme.com # source server # 38.25.63.10 x.acme.com # x client host # localhost name resolution is handled within DNS itself. # 127.0.0.1 localhost # ::1 localhost
