Do you know what SoccerInferno is?
SoccerInferno is a browser plugin which you can install onto Internet Explorer and Mozilla Firefox web browsers. The application is presented as a legitimate and reliable tool which can provide links to authentic sports news sites, videos and pictures. Unfortunately, the application does not meet the expectations of its users, and so many decide to delete SoccerInferno right after installing it onto the PC. Others remove the program because they believe it to be a browser hijacker which has enabled the unauthorized home page and search provider modifications. Needless to say, if you do not find the program useful or reliable, you should remove it without any hesitations.
Have you discovered that the home page of your IE and Firefox browsers has been changed and now it is home.tb.ask.com? This is no surprise, and if you are surprised by the changes, you must have paid little attention to the information presented upon the installation of SoccerInferno. The installer setup asks you whether you agree to replace the ordinary home page/search provider with Ask.com. Of course, this is not the same search engine; however, it presents the same search results. If you do not want to replace your regular search tools, we recommend that you click the Decline button and un-check the marked boxes when you initiate the toolbar’s installation at soccerinferno.com/index.jhtml. The same rule applies if you choose to download Guffins Toolbar, FreeBillPayAlert Toolbar, and other Mindspark toolbars.
