Remove Hohosearch

Hohosearch.com points to a website installed by a browser hijacker, meaning a program whose code has been designed to mess with web browser’s settings in such a way that your browsing gets redirected every time to a certain website, in this case Hohosearch.com. Like most browser hijackers, Hohosearch.com replaces both the default homepage and search engine.

Many browser hijackers are poorly coded, which results in some other issues such as sudden slow responses and even complete blockages from the victim’s computer. Hohosearch.com is usually installed by a virus or a worm, and sometimes it’s a result of visiting a malicious website. However it could also be installed in a “legitimate” way as part of a free software, or with the user’s unknowingly consent when she/he doesn’t fully read a program’s conditions of use.

To remove Hohosearch is no easy task because the program is designed specifically to stop the user’s attempts at uninstalling it. Luckily there are free tools that will allow you to successfully remove it. Those are the kind of programs we have included in our help guide. Keep yourself away from other websites offering a removal solution, 99% of them will attempt to force upon you a software from which you have to pay.
