2015 has been witness to the birth of parasite web browsers, among those we found WikiBrowser. Such browsers are usually based on Chromium, which explains why they look so similar to Google Chrome (they share the same source code). To increase the confusion even further, Claralabs the company behind WikiBrowser and many other parasite web browsers like Bobrowser, Unico Browser, Crossbrowse, etc has created all its icons to look like Chrome’s as well… meaning a round icon painted with the same colors as the famous web browser.
Once installed it will make its presence known by more than placing its browser, it will also modify any other present browser so they can show ads within them should you chose to use them. These ads are injected in real time and easily identified as they are tagged as Ads by WikiBrowser.
Even though WikiBrowser has its own official website, it’s not through there that people get infected. WikiBrowser uses a distribution technique that counts on users not paying attention while they install new free software onto their computers. We must always and without exception customize any installation process started to be able to stop on time this kind of adware from being installed.
If you’ve noticed you’ve been infected with WikiBrowser, make sure to uninstall it ASAP! The following guide and the tools mentioned are completely free.
