According to our research, Iyi123.com modifies the homepage, but, according to the removal guide at iyi123.com/uninstall.htm, you might also need to erase this hijacker from the default search providers list. It is most likely that you will need to get rid of this hijacker after executing a software bundle as it is unlikely that this search tool will be introduced to you on its own. Unfortunately, there is a great possibility that malicious infections will be bundled along with the hijacker, in which case, of course, you will have even more security issues to solve. If you suspect that malware exists on your computer, do not waste any time. Although some threats can wait, and you can attend to them after you delete the hijacker, others might be much more time-sensitive, and you might have to eliminate them first.

The interface of Iyi123.com can be very attractive. The same page represents an array of different easy-access links to sites that you are likely to visit every day. In a sense, this seemingly normal search tool works as an interactive toolbar that provides you with access to your favorite websites. Of course, because this tool is targeted at users living in Turkey, you see links to Google, Twitter, Facebook, and other international sites, along with links routing to sites that are exclusively targeted at those who speak Turkish. Such sites include gittigidiyor.com, hurriyet.com.tr, atv.com.tr, or powerturk.com. Be careful about unfamiliar sites because you do not know what kind of content they might promote. In general, it is a good rule of thumb to always review privacy policies and other information supporting these sites. If you do not review legal information, you might become a victim of undesirable, malicious activity. You have to be just as cautious when interacting with the search results shown via Iyi123.com. Though at the moment this search tool does not work, it could be revived in the near future.
