Websearch.seekplaza.info is usually spread with the help of Installrex installers that can bundle this hijacker with potentially unwanted programs (e.g., EZDownloader and Optimizer Pro) and adware from the Justplugit family (e.g., Unideals). Needless to say, the malware installed alongside this hijacker also requires removal, and you should not postpone the process for much longer. As you might already know, Websearch.seekplaza.info has plenty of clones, including Websearch.freesearches.info and Search.searchonme.com. If you do not take the necessary security measures – even if you remove the hijacker successfully – the clones could attack your operating system in the future.

Their removal is your only option.
