What is EasySearch and removal instructions

EasySearch is a malicious browser hijacker that changes the Internet Explorer default home page. The parasite also downloads from the Internet and installs other privacy threats. EasySearch acts as a local proxy server used by Internet Explorer to access the Internet. This allows the parasite to regularly redirect a web browser to undesirable web sites, usually with pornographic content. EasySearch runs on every Windows startup.
