Kaseek browser hijacker is not a serious infection and will not directly damage your computer. However, you will likely find it very annoying because it will make unwanted browser settings changes. Kaseek will essentially hijack the browser.

If this infection is installed on your computer, you will definitely notice it because of the changes to the browser’s settings. The most noticeable change will be a different homepage and new tabs. The hijacker also sets boyu.com.tr as the default search engine. The changes can affect all popular browsers, including Google Chrome, Mozilla Firefox, and Microsoft Edge.

The first thing you will notice is that your browser is loading a site different from your usual homepage. Specifically, findflarex.com will load as the homepage. boyu.com.tr will be set as the default search engine. Browser hijackers can usually affect all popular browsers, including Google Chrome, Mozilla Firefox, and Microsoft Edge. The changes are also irreversible while the hijacker is installed.

The main goal of a browser hijacker is to redirect users to sponsored websites. This is done by forcing users to use questionable search engines that insert links to those sites. boyu.com.tr is the search engine pushed by this Kaseek hijacker. If you use your browser’s address bar as a search box, you will be redirected to boyu.com.tr. It’s not recommended to click on any of these results because you could be redirected to websites that promote scams and/or conceal malware.

Browser hijackers also have intrusive data-collection practices, so Kaseek may track your browsing, particularly which sites you visit, your search queries, your IP address, etc. The information could also be shared with third parties. Browser hijackers have no redeemable features so there’s no reason why you should put up with any of their behaviors or their data collection practices. The sooner you delete Kaseek browser hijacker from your computer, the better. You can do it manually but we recommend using WiperSoft because the program will take care of everything.

How did Kaseek browser hijacker install on my device?

In most cases, infections like browser hijackers and adware are installed accidentally by users without them even realizing it. This happens because of the software bundling method. Software bundling allows certain infections to be added to popular free programs as extra offers. These offers are optional but they are set to install alongside the program they’re attached to automatically. Users’ explicit permission is not required. While the offers are technically optional, they must be manually deselected to stop them from installing. Users are often unable to do that in many cases simply because the offers are hidden in settings users don’t normally use. This makes software bundling a rather deceptive installation method.

It’s not difficult to prevent these unwanted offers from installing if you pay attention when installing free programs. During installation, choose Advanced (Custom) settings instead of Default. The installation window recommends using Default settings but if use those settings, all added offers will be authorized to install alongside the program. If you choose Advanced settings, the offers will be made visible. You will also be given the option to deselect all of them. All you need to do is uncheck the boxes.

It’s strongly recommended to deselect all added offers, even if they initially appear useful. Legitimate programs do not use this installation method. Programs that do should not be permitted to install. They’re also often detected as potential threats by anti-virus programs. Unless you want to fill your computer with junk programs that can be difficult to get rid of once fully installed, uncheck all boxes.

Some browser hijackers are also promoted as useful extensions. For example, Kaseek is advertised as such. They are usually prominent on free download sites, which is why it’s strongly recommended to research programs before installing them. It’s often sufficient to use a search engine like Google to check whether a program is safe to download/install. If at least one result says the program is potentially unwanted or malicious, do not install it.
