Youndoo which is found at Youndoo.com is a parasite program that presents itself as a search engine which will be quietly installed onto Chrome, Firefox or Internet Explorer.
Youndoo must be classified as a browser hijacker, term that encloses all programs that hijack your browser’s settings in order to set its own parameters, specially for homepage and new tab page. What tends to be even more problematic about these programs is that they are hard to uninstall so you can recover your own settings.
Here’s a screenshot of Youndoo, which uses for some of its results Google itself.
Youndoo.com won’t rest in its attempts to maintain its place in your browsers, that’s how it can make sure you’re using its page as search engine forcing you to see certain pages to its own convenience.
