Remove SosoDesk

SosoDesk is both an adware and a browser hijacker. It fits into both categories because first of all it inserts ads in every website you visit, plus it modifies your browser’s settings to set SosoDesk as the default search engine. All these actions are taken without clearly asking for any kind of approval from the user. Although in theory the user does give his/her permission, but without being aware of it, this is why SosoDesk is considered a PUP (potentially unwanted program).

SosoDesk has many ways to achieve a large number of successful installations, one of them is by adding itself to free programs found in download platforms that add this kind of software to their downloads to get a reward for it. It could also be attached to useless programs found in malicious websites like P2P networks, torrents, or in streaming websites that illegally share films and TV series.

Removing SosoDesk is not an easy task, to do it manually is actually a impossible mission. This is due to the fact that SosoDesk‘s creators make sure to built into their program techniques to stay active in your computer the longest time possible. Be careful when looking for ways to fix this online, you might end up in malicious websites that offer removal tools that end up being completely fake.
