If you have found that your web browsers were hijacked without your permission, it is crucial that you eliminate malware as soon as possible.

How does Cooliosearch.com work?
When researching Cooliosearch.com, it was found that this hijacker was developed by IMALI - N.I. MEDIA LTD. This company also stands behind two infamous hijackers, Search.realcoolmoviessearch.com and Search.emaildefendsearch.com. According to our research, these hijackers are associated with the RealCoolMovies Extension and EmailDefend Extension, respectively. It is highly likely that the strange Cooliosearch.com will take over your browsers after you install some browser extension as well. If this is the case, you have to research this extension to figure out if it is trustworthy. Chances are that it will not be, especially if it changes the new tab settings without permission. It was found that the new tab might represent Thecoolestmoviesearch.com as well. This search tool is identical to Cooliosearch.com, and it works in the same way. For one, both of these tools represent the search results of plusnetwork.com.
It is highly likely that Cooliosearch.com was designed to serve as an advertising tool. Although the links that this search engine provides route to popular websites (e.g., facebook.com, imdb.com, and ebay.com), the search results served via plusnetwork.com can show sponsored links. What is more, the information collected by this hijacker could be shared with unfamiliar advertisers. This is something we are not completely sure about because the Privacy Policy associated with the hijacker actually represents safebrowsesearch.com. Due to this, we do not treat this document as useful or trustworthy. And what do you do if you cannot predict how an unfamiliar program will work? In that case, you must get rid of it.
