How to remove "urlseek20.vmn.net" and the mybrowserbar.com malware
Posted: July 30th, 2009 | Author: Daniel | Filed under: computers | Tags: urlseek20.vmn.net | 77 Comments »If you install PDFCreator, without asking, the program installs a program called PDFforge toolbar. Afterwards, if you get a 404 error (webpage not found) when surfing the web, the PDFforge toolbar hijacks your browser and automatically redirects you to urlseek20.vmn.net using mybrowserbar.com.
To fix this problem, go to Add or Remove Programs and uninstall “PDFforge toolbar.” Luckily it’s that simple.
I didn’t think there would be a problem downloading and installing PDFCreator because it is hosted on Sourceforge.net, but I was wrong. The developers secretly install the PDFforge toolbar to make some money off of ad revenue from urlseek20.vmn.net. It’s underhanded and wrong, but luckily it is simple to uninstall.
