About Searchudak.com

Searchudak.com is a browser hijacker that can alter your browser’s settings. It can enter your computer if you download and carelessly instill free software. It’s called the bundling method and usually, users are not aware of Searchudak.com entering their computer. Even though it uses such a sneaky, although quite common, way to get into your computer, it’s not a computer virus. It’s not malicious and will not harm your computer.

Why should I uninstall Searchudak.com?

If you’re not aware of how browser hijackers enter computers, it’s quite simple. They are attached to free software as optional items. That means you don’t have to install them if you do not want to. But first, you need to know that they are there. If you use Default settings during freeware installation, you won’t know because attached items will not be visible. So you’ll end up unknowingly installing Searchudak.com. If you use Advanced (Custom) settings, however, you will see all added items and can deselect them, preventing them from installing.

Searchudak.com exists to redirect users to sponsored websites in order to generate pay-per-click revenue. To redirect you, Searchudak.com needs to alter your browser’s settings.

Whenever you open your browser, you will see Searchudak.com because it will set itself as your homepage and new tabs.
