Remove HooplaSearch

HooplaSearch is a browser hijacker that modifies Chrome, Firefox or Internet Explorer’s settings in order to change your chosen homepage and default search engine, and set in those places a page you’ll be forced to see over and over again. Of course the new search engine will be no other than HooplaSearch, and you’ll be exposed to ads disguised as search results every time.

Some programs and download platforms like softonic, get a commission every time HooplaSearch is successfully installed into a user’s web browser. This explains of course why HooplaSearch is installed so discretely. Let us remember that HooplaSearch’s install becomes illegal if there’s not at least one mention about its presence in the install process that sets it in place.

Therefore, when you are installing a new software in your computer, you must always remember to customize it, this is a way to reduce the odds of an adware being inadvertently installed at the same time.

Most browser hijackers like HooplaSearch, are capable of acting against you in such a way that to remove it manually through your browser’s settings becomes and impossible mission. They are built to reestablish their own settings after every system restart.
