If all of a sudden your homepage and search engine get replaced by Kariloo Search, this means that your machine is no longer infection free. Kariloo Search is classified as a browser hijacker. Do you know how annoying these parasites are? Very! And so is Kariloo. It will get on your nerves more and more with each passing day. And it makes a mess of your previously normal and enjoyable browsing experience. You have to delete it the first chance you get.

If you let it stay, your problems will escalate in both numbers and severity to the point where your privacy won`t not safe either. Act now!

From the moment the hijacker enters, the Search.kariloo.com page becomes your constant online companion. Your every online move gets intercepted by this site. It appears all the time and you get redirected to it whenever you try loading another page. As we mentioned, it even replaced your homepage and search engine without your permission. Now the search results you see when you type in a search are not reliable. Some of them are actually ads but they are not marked as such.

The hijacker`s purpose is to generate pay-per-click revenue for its owners and that’s why it bombards you with sponsored links and adverts on daily basis. Needless to say, this makes your online activities impossible to enjoy. You suffer constant intrusions which don’t go unnoticed by your machine as well. Your PC starts to underperform. Its speed slows down to a crawl. Your browsers freeze. Your system crashes. Some applications take ages to load. Even your Internet connection may become unstable. But let`s not forget that you are always a single click away from more malware.

As we explained, nothing the hijacker throws at you can be trusted. A single click on the wrong link/ad is all it takes for you to download more infections on your already infected machine. And when you add to the equation the security risk the pest exposes you to, the decision gets made for you. The hijacker jeopardizes your privacy by spying on you and sending valuable information to crooks. Delete it while it is not too late. Use our removal guide at the end of this article to get rid of this pest manually.

Once you do, make sure you won`t get infected again. Do you know how the Search.kariloo.com hijacker entered? It probably arrived bundled in another program. The bundling technique is very popular among hackers. But it’s the users who made it so successful. Most people don’t pay attention when installing bundled software and that’s their mistake. This way all the additionally attached (and probably malicious apps) get installed automatically. However, if you opt for the Custom settings in the Setup Wizard, you will be able to see the entire list of extras as well as deselect them.

Then, you can still finish installing the program you originally wanted. Understand that skipping installation steps and rushing the process leads to infections. PC protections requires vigilance and time. It requires your caution. Carefully read everything before pressing “I accept”. Crooks pray that you don’t. Prove them wrong and keep your computer infections-free.
