Hohosearch

Hohosearch is a prevalent browser hijacker that hijacks the user’s profile on Mozilla Firefox to be able to change the settings. Also, it usually sets itself on Google Chrome browsers without permission. In most cases, Hohosearch (hohosearch.com) replaces the default homepage, which means that you will see it each time you open your Mozilla Firefox or Google Chrome. It is impossible to have two homepages, as you know, so you will need to remove Hohosearch first before you set another preferred homepage. It is advisable to do that for the sake of the system’s safety too because browser hijackers not only replace homepages without permission, but might also expose computer users to potential threats. As this threat is not a regular program that can be erased through Control Panel, we suggest reading the article for more information on its deletion. Read more »

Well, this application might redirect you to potentially risky websites and also introduce you to unreliable third-party ads. Since this software was built on a legitimate platform, our researchers at anti-spyware-101.com have classified it as a potentially unwanted program, i.e., a PUP. The applications that belong to this category do not usually mean great threat to your computer, but they can still cause certain security-related issues indirectly. This PUP, for instance, can sneak onto your computer together with malicious software installers. That is why its presence can indicate multiple system threats.
