Remove OKhomepage.com Redirect

Suddenly OKhomepage.com took over your homepage and you cannot remove it.

Having OKhomepage.com on your PC is anything but okay. Don’t by fooled by this parasite’s flashy and colorful facade. Behind all that lies a nasty browser hijacker. Okhomepage.com will bring upon you trouble and anxiety while lying to your face; why keep it on board? Remember, you’re now dealing with a PC infection. There’s no plausible scenario in which ignoring the problem would somehow solve it. Hence, do the right thing concerning this hijacker. Get rid of it. The parasite’s official website does appear to be legitimate. However, it also appears to be crowded with web links and random pop-up ads. Okhomepage.com’s page is indeed overwhelming. That’s not even the worst part, though; its shenanigans are just getting started. Okhomepage.com “collects the best and most popular sites and other wonderful content”. Or least that’s what its developers claim. You will very soon realize Okhomepage.com’s content is far from being wonderful. As soon as the parasite lands on board, it adds a malicious browser extension. This way Okhomepage.com effectively hijacks your entire browsing experience. You probably noticed that both your default browser homepage and favorite search engine are modified. They are now replaced with the hijacker’s highly questionable domain. The problem with this domain is… well, it’s a whole list of problems. Okhomepage.com doesn’t generate the accurate search results that it promised. This virus actually displays sponsored and tailored, unreliable web links. That’s how browser hijackers help their dishonest developers gain revenue. As you can clearly see, though, hackers’ profit may come directly at your expense. A sponsored web link could be leading you to all kinds of dangerous pages. Thus, you may accidentally install malware on your already compromised machine. To prevent such an unpleasant scenario, stay away from anything generated by this pest. Okhomepage.com continually redirects you to unknown websites and boosts their web traffic. However, nobody guarantees you safety on these pages so keep that in mind. Nothing on your PC screen is trustworthy now that the PC is infected. Avoid clicking on search results, third-party pop-ups or even software updates. All the aforementioned might turn out to be malicious. In addition, Okhomepage.com jeopardizes your privacy by stealing personal data. Don’t overlook the great threat this thing poses and uninstall it ASAP.

How did I get infected with?

As mentioned, Okhomepage.com does have an official website. However, you can’t have installed it from there. How do we know, you may ask? Because this page doesn’t have a download button. A rule of thumb for the future – PC infections usually don’t provide download options on their websites. That leaves us with the usual infiltration methods parasites apply. Spam email-attachments, spam messages, corrupted ads, illegitimate torrents, etc. You might have also installed Okhomepage.com via some freeware or shareware bundle. Be very careful with these program packages because more often than not, they are dangerous. Most PC users tend to skip important installation steps. Don’t be one of them. Their machines are practically left vulnerable to all types of malware. You’ll have nobody to blame if you infect your own PC simply because you were careless. Opt for the Custom or Advanced option in the Setup Wizard and stay cautious. The more attentive you are in the installation process, the better for your privacy and safety.

Why is this dangerous?

Okhomepage.com forces its dubious search engine on you. Obviously, your preferences about your own machine are now completely and utterly ignored. What matters here is hackers’ profit, not your online experience. The virus bombards you with useless, unreliable search results. It also generates numerous commercials and product deals. Restrain yourself from clicking any of those. You might end up causing your own machine serious harm so don’t let Okhomepage.com deceive you. This program will keep on redirecting (and annoying) you till the very moment you take action. Therefore, take action as soon as possible. Okhomepage.com is also known to be stealing browsing-related data such as passwords and usernames. Your browser history gets monitored as well. By stealing your data, Okhomepage.com actually attempts to adjust its ads to make them more appealing to you. As you can see, this is yet another cheap trickery you must avoid. Hackers get free access to your sensitive information which might cause you irreversible damage. To delete  Okhomepage.com manually, please follow our detailed removal guide down below.
