Contenko (accessible on the domain contenko.com) is commonly referred to as a browser hijacker. It’s called so because it literally hijacks your browser and makes itself your default homepage as well as your default search engine. It does so without the say of the internet user, thus this page is considered ad software.
Contenko is typically installed following the download of a free program. Certain software or sites like softonic earn money after the successful installation of Contenko.com by a user, which is why its intrusion is often unseen. The installation of Contenko is not technically legal if it is not mentioned in the installation process. There is still danger since, if you use it, the program will furnish biased search results and save the searches you make with the ultimate goal of offering you targeted ads.
Contenko can be aided by spyware that can exist in either a browser extension or a windows process, this helps keep the program in place, making it difficult to erase. To remove the threat, you should follow the free guide below.
