    You got it because you downloaded something else .. a freebie and did NOT read the T&Cs and you gave it the right to install - you should always choose custom installs when installing ANY software - that way you have a reasonable chance to not install the unwanted extras.

    Also get Malwarebytes on your computer - that can protect and remove lots of this type of annoyance.
  • Thank you that advice.

    First link is just a sales spiel for SpyHunter, second link instructions should do it.

  • what browsers you are using now? Usually, I will try my best to remove browser hijacker from my PC manually because I don't trust any recommended removal programs easily. Moreover, it is very easy to get rid of astromenda search. You can search for some free removal guides or videos guide to solve your problem. In this way, you can avoid many risks and save money. Here is a manual removal guide about this astromenda at howtovirusremoval.com/how-to-get-rid-of-astromenda-com-virus-removal-guide, hopefully I can help you.
