Iyi123.com Removal Guide

Do you know what Iyi123.com is?

Iyi123.com is a Turkish hijacker that you might see set on all your browsers. As Iyi123.com usually changes the settings on all users’ browsers, it is often called a browser hijacker by specialists. Even though Iyi123.com seems to be far from dangerous search tools, our team of specialists, after a thorough research, say that users who have it set on their browsers and use it as a default search engine have to be very cautious because it is not a search tool that can be trusted. Also, it has been revealed that it might provide users with unreliable search results. Users also make complaints that the search box of Iyi123.com does not work at all, and, as a consequence, it is useless. If you have a version with a working search function, you should still not let this questionable search engine stay because, as we have mentioned, it might provide you with bad search results. To be frank, you should never trust search engines that are set on your browsers without permission because, as the experience of our malware specialists shows, such search tools are never trustworthy.

You have a right to know why our researchers say that it is so important to remove Iyi123.com right now. Despite the fact that this search tool does not look bad at all, and it does not differ from other search engines regarding the way it looks (e.g. it has a search box on the start page), it still cannot be said that it is safe to keep it and use it as a default search engine because it has been found that it shows the sponsored search results. You will see them, of course, only if the search box works (at the time of writing it does not return any search results but it might be fixed in the future). The problem with these unreliable search results is one – they can redirect straight to questionable websites with an infectious content. Actually, these quick access buttons that you can find on the main page of Iyi123.com might redirect you somewhere else too, for example, you click on a button that should take you to the official website of Yahoo!, but end up on a completely different website. Such questionable search tools initiate all those redirections and provide users with the sponsored search results just to help the developer earn money by driving traffic to third-party websites.Iyi123.com Removal GuideIyi123.com screenshot

In addition, it is very important to install a security tool on the computer to make sure that the system is protected from dangers 24/7. Of course, not all the tools are effective, so do not install the first one you come across when surfing the web.
