The reason you should not trust Koala Personal Search completely is that this application is an adware program. Disregarding the fact that it should improve your web search experience, this program supports third-party advertisements, and it may display them every single time you access the Internet. As long as you do not click Koala Personal Search ads, they will only be annoying nuisances that slow down your browser and do not allow you to browse the web properly. However, if you accidentally click any of them, you might end up being redirected to a third-party website that has nothing to do with Koala Personal Search.

In the worst case scenario, Koala Personal Search could be exploited by malevolent third parties for malware distribution purposes. That would not be surprising because adware programs are vulnerable to a third-party exploitation. The same could be applied to other programs from the same group like TornTV or Plus-HD. Although it might seem that Koala Personal Search and the aforementioned programs are of completely different profile, all of them are based on Crossrider engine, and the files are signed by Skyter Technologies Ltd. What is more, even though Koala Personal Search has a functioning homepage at koala-search.com, it is far more likely that the application will come bundled with freeware.

According to what we know, Koala Personal Search usually gets distributed in InstallCore bundles, and often gets installed on target computers together with such applications as Reg Clean Pro, VuuPC or MyPC Backup. All of these programs are potentially unwanted applications that are related to a number of computer security issues.

If you want to protect your system from potential threats, you need to uninstall Koala Personal Search and other associated applications at once. If you are not sure which programs must be removed from your computer, scan the system with SpyHunter free scanner and the list will be generated for you in no time.
