Remove HolaSearch.com

HolaSearch is a Browser Hijacker that literally hijacks your browser’s configuration (obviously without your approval) either for Chrome, Firefox and Internet Explorer and changes it to set holasearch.com as home page and search engine by default.

Hola Search is presented in their official website as follows:

Hola Search’s goal is to turn your browsing experience into a fun and passionate experience whilst making sure you get only the best results every time, offering the best comeback time ever! To achieve this we have developed a friendly, easy to use user interface supported by the fastest searching technology. No more time wasted searching aimlessly, you will find exactly what you need in the blink of an eye!

Because we want to help and offer our services to every one who needs us, we need a way to distribute our software that will enable us to reach the masses. Thus we have now partnerships with several free programs who will install our own program by means of installing theirs. It’s a win-win situation for you and for all of us developers!

First of all, there’s nothing fun nor passionate in finding yourself with a website you never requested and when your permission was never even asked. On the other hand you’ll never have the best results because the first thing they do is insert their sponsored links in the firsts places.

At least HolaSearch is honest about one thing… they are attached to several freewares available to download online. What is funny though is how they present  this as a win-win situation… win-lose is more likely, specially for the user being forced to share its computer with them and their ad campaign.
