If your homepage and/or default search provider has been replaced with Iadah.co.uk, the first thing you need to ask yourself is if you have installed the Iadah Toolbar. This strange application is officially promoted at iadah.co.uk/toolbar.html, and the search tool comes packaged with it. Although every user has the opportunity to reject the search engine and homepage modifications, not all of them realize that. When installing the toolbar, you have to click “Custom Installation” to have the opportunity to un-check the boxes that confirm the changes. Was the search tool installed onto your browsers separately from the toolbar? If so, you have to scan your operating system immediately to see if maybe it was downloaded along with malware. Our malware researchers classify the suspicious search tool as a browser hijacker, and if it has taken over your browsers illegally, you must realize that it requires removal. Now, should you delete Iadah.co.uk if you have installed it willingly? Keep reading to figure this out.
According to our research, Iadah.co.uk is hosted on the same server as other suspicious search tools, including alakazee.com, iadah.net, or yougoo.fr. Looking at the interfaces of these search tools, it is quite unlikely that they were created by the same company, but it is definitely strange that a bunch of suspicious search providers are hosted on the same server. Unfortunately, the oddities do not end here. When analyzing the suspicious Iadah.co.uk, we have reviewed the Terms of Use statement, which revealed that E-KANOPI is its creator. After doing a little bit of research, we have found that this company specializes in market research and surveys. Unfortunately, it is possible that the main objectives behind the hijacker are to collect information about you and to introduce you to surveys and, possibly, advertisements. It is most likely that this content will be introduced to you via the search results page, which is why you need to be cautious when using Iadah.co.uk. In fact, this is one of the biggest reasons to delete this hijacker.
Clearly, Iadah.co.uk does not offer the best or most reliable services, and it does not matter all that much whether or not it was installed without your permission. Once you decide if you are going to delete this browser hijacker, you need to check your operating system for other potentially active threats. The Iadah Toolbar is very easy to spot, and you do not need a malware scanner for that; however, you must keep in mind that malicious threats can take on deceptive disguises, or they can conceal themselves altogether.
