Suddenly Doko-search.com took over your homepage and you cannot remove it.

Doko-search.com is a browser hijacker. Do you find yourself continuously redirected to Doko-search.com? Has it replaced your preferred homepage and search engine? If the answer to both questions is “Yes”, then you can be 100% sure you’re dealing with a hijacker. Doko-search.com is a malicious and intrusive tool that causes severe damages to your system once it slithers its way in. It uses trickery and finesse to dupe you into permitting its install and then makes a mess. The changes, which were already mentioned are just the start of a never-ending string of reshuffles you’ll have to suffer through on a daily basis. Once the hijacker gains access to your system, it’s free to implement all the changes it so wishes without bothering to inform you or to ask for your approval first. For example, it can easily opt to install malware, and you’ll just have to accept it. The best action you can take once the hijacker has revealed its presence is to delete it! You’ll save yourself a ton of headaches and problems, and your future self will be grateful.

How did I get infected with?

Since Doko-search.com is bound to ask for your permission before it settles in your system, it has come up with an entire set of ways with which to get it. The hijacker relies on deception and slyness to dupe you into giving it the green light. In fact, it’s so masterful in its deceit that you are oblivious to ever allowing such a hazardous threat to enter your system. That’s because Doko-search.com is extremely sneaky. It usually hides behind freeware as most users don’t pay nearly enough attention as they should when installing it. They don’t read the terms and conditions and agree to everything in haste. That’s EXACTLY what you should do if you WISH to end up with a hijacker like Doko-search.com. If you don’t, be more careful and you just might avoid it.

Why is this dangerous?

Aside from being able to approve the installation of more malevolent tools on your computer, Doko-search.com can also reshuffle your system settings. For example, it can easily block you from accessing your favorite websites. What’s more, the hijacker displays adware’s most infuriating trait – it bombards you with pop-up ads continuously. So, not only will you get redirected to Doko-search.com every single time you try to go online, but you’ll also be flooded with vexatious and harmful pop-ups. But don’t think the ads are coming at you so persistently for no reason. There IS a reason, and it’s that the hijacker is flooding you with these pop-ups in the hopes that you’ll b foolish enough to click on them. Each click generates web traffic and pay-per-click revenue for the third parties behind the tool. You might be wondering why that’s important. It’s quite straightforward. If Doko-search.com fails to produce profits for the people behind it, it ceases to exist. Each click helps it live to see another day. But, while a click brings nothing but positives for the hijacker, for you, it brings only negatives. The ads are immensely unreliable. A single click on a single pop-up results in you unwillingly approving the installation of malware. Ignore these pop-ups! Don’t click on them! Furthermore, as they pop up constantly, they end up slowing your computer’s performance to a crawl and causing frequent system crashes. Those are just a few of the “joys” of getting stuck with a browser hijacker. The biggest “perk”, however, is the fact that it jeopardizes your personal and financial information as t spies on you from the moment it sneaks in. It keeps a thorough record of your online activities and every move you make and then sends the collected data to the unknown people that published it. Don’t grant strangers access to your private life! Get rid of Doko-search.com at once!
