What is 2345.com?

2345.com is regarded as a potentially unwanted program that you might want to remove. First of all it is of no use to Internet surfers who do not speak Chinese, and second, because it has been created to promote several websites that belong to 2345.com. We think there is no reason to keep this browser, but because it is in the Chinese language.

Where does 2345.com come from?

To date, we do not know the name of the company that released this browser. But one thing is for sure: this browser is intended for the Chinese speaking audience, so there is no information provided in English. Still, we have received reports that somehow users get this browser. We think that it might be distributed via software bundles, but it is unlikely that they come from European or American freeware distributors. The browser is probably bundled and shared on Chinese freeware distributing websites. So, we can only advise users to be more careful when downloading software from unfamiliar sources.

How does 2345.com work?

2345.com is based on the Chromium platform developed by Google. It does not look like Google Chrome, but internally they have a lot in common. Once installed, the browser is automatically set as the default browser. This is not a significant problem. But whenever you install an application that opens a webpage at the end, it will be opened using 2345.com. Apart from that the application contains 4 bookmarks. One is for the homepage. The second one is for a website that features a movie database that probably hosts pirated content. The third one promotes some sort of computer games, and the last one is a link to an online shopping website. Note that three out of four websites belong to 2345.com. So it seems that the browser’s main purpose is to promote these websites.

How do I remove 2345.com?

So, the application is not dangerous, but we do not see any reason why people who do not speak Chinese should keep it. The removal process is not difficult, however it is known to leave junk in the Windows registry that should be cleaned up using an antimalware scanner. At any rate, if you want to remove the application you need to go to the Control Panel. However, 2345.com’s uninstaller is also in Chinese, so always click the button on the left of the dialog box, and you should be fine. But if you want to make sure that you completely neutralized 2345.com you should scan your PC with our featured antimalware scanner called SpyHunter, which will also remove any registry junk this application might leave.
