The settings of the browsers are changed if you pay no attention to the installation process when installing certain programs. Some computer users may think that their browsers get hijacked; however, the truth is quite the opposite. It is crucial to be very attentive when installing any program because, by skipping the license agreement or privacy statement, you may cause some damage to your browsers.

PortalSepeti.com is an ad-supported search engine, and it is promoted by bundled installers available at kindir.net, which is a Turkish website promoting various free programs, including the VLC player, the Opera Internet browser, and many other. Bear in mind that websites distributing third-party programs may bundle several programs together, which is why you should be very cautious when dealing with non-official websites.

The search engine does not add any browser extensions, and it is enough to change the home page and the search engine to restore your former settings. However, we recommend that you implement a reputable spyware and malware program so that you can prevent similar occurrences in the future.
