Kariloo extension virus - How to remove

Kariloo extension (Search.kariloo.com) virus gives us a deja vu feeling after we were introduced to Polimva infection just a week ago on 17th of August. The new one joins the club of vicious software applications like Fooriza and Searchanonymo.com that are all linked by the same physical address. Many samples of these dubious applications chose Search.cubokit.com as a partner to be assigned as browsers’ preference after the Chrome add-on is installed. Oficially, Search.kariloo.com should be elected as default, but this URL only stays in the address bar for a few seconds. Furthermore, product from Likury or MobileMonetizer Ltd. Search.safefinder.com compiles results to search queries.

Reasons not to rely on Kariloo computer infection

Kariloo rogue application for Google Chrome has obtained a position in official Chrome Web store, but the tool definitely does not strike us a popular software piece. The search extension pledges to provide entertaining stories straight from browsers’ toolbars. The articles will originate from ViralNova which is not a 100% transparent site; it is likely generating clickbait articles to trick people into raising their revenues through web traffic boosts.

According to our analysis, by exploring the Internet while Kariloo virus is present, you will also be redirected to websites that contain advertisements from RevContent. While the service persistently fights such scams, the battle is far from won.

Also, by introducing users with links of its affiliates, Kariloo malware sample is gifted commission on sales of product or services, purchased thanks to marketing efforts. Search.photorext.net virus is also bound to be associated with the rogue extension as they share the same owners. However, their true identity is not revealed as users are supposed to contact them via emailing section in the official website. Search.chipopo.info infection is just as well related and should be avoided due to its relentless strategies to stay in users’ browsers.

Kariloo browser extension might pledge its allegiance to its surfers, but we do fear that the platform for searching will deliver highly-sponsored results to search queries.
