HolaInput is a potentially unwanted program that is officially promoted at holainput.com. According to our researchers, deskick.com is identical to this website, and it is quite possible that other sites alike exist as well. Needless to say, the more sources this PUP is available from, the more users are likely to install it onto their computers. Well, why would you install this program? The services of this PUP are useless, and it is unlikely that computer users will rush to install it even if it is free. This program supposedly guesses the words you are typing to speed up the process; however, it is more likely to create a real chaos rather than help you. The bad news is that this is not the only reason why you should delete HolaInput from your operating system. Most users will remove this program after finding a browser hijacker that follows it. Keep reading to learn more about this.
Search.holainput.com is the hijacker that travels bundled with the potentially unwanted program. Although users are informed about homepage and search provider modifications, we classify it as a hijacker because users are forced to install it. This hijacker and the PUP come as a package deal, and you cannot separate the two. If you are wise, you will ignore this program to avoid the hijacker. Of course, some users do not realize that it might be dangerous to install an unfamiliar search tool. And we can assure you that this strange search tool is not reliable. Instead of showing authentic results, it routes you to Google. Although google.com is a well-known and respected search provider, we do not recommend using it if you are redirected to it by some hijacker. There are two reasons behind this. First of all, the results might be modified. Second, your activity could be tracked by unreliable parties.
Zoekyu Technology Limited is the developer of HolaInput, as well as the hijacker. Because these pieces of software travel bundled together and they are created by the same people, it is likely that one is used for the distribution of the other. According to our research, it is most likely that HolaInput was created solely for the distribution of the hijacker. This potentially unwanted program is not at all beneficial, and it does not work the way it is supposed to. Nonetheless, it is attractive, and some users decide to install it. When they do, they install the hijacker as well, and this one functions fully. As long as this hijacker is active, information about your searches will be collected. Although the Privacy Policy representing this software suggests that no information is shared with any third parties, it could be analyzed to enhance the services of other programs. All in all, neither the PUP nor the hijacker is useful to you personally.
The files of HolaInput are stored in many folders located in different directories. Furthermore, registry keys and values are created as well. If that was not enough, the hijacker itself is represented via an extension that also requires removal. You can eliminate this extension from the chrome://extensions/ menu in Chrome. Luckily, users can uninstall this program, and that fully eliminates it from their computers. You can use the simple guide below to uninstall this PUP; however, if you are dealing with a hijacker, as well as the unwanted browser extension, we suggest checking the guide that we have posted about Search.holainput.com. The good news is that anyone can eliminate these unwanted programs manually because they are not very complex.
Although manual removal is great, we suggest looking into automatic malware removal in case other unreliable programs are active. Unless you have time to research and analyze every single suspicious program manually, and you are sure that you are capable of eliminating all threats yourself, a reliable anti-malware program is the best tool in your fight against malicious infections. Needless to say, anti-malware software does not provide onetime services. On the contrary, if you install this software, you will not need to worry about existing malware, web protection, or malware infiltration. As long as you install trustworthy software, you will reap the benefits for a long time.
