Karatoh

Computer users are always advised to stay away from file-sharing websites because adware applications like Karatoh can easily enter target computers together with freeware. We always say that there is no reason to panic if you find Karatoh on your computer, but there is no reason to keep this adware on your system either. This application can eventually expose you to malicious websites that distribute malware. Therefore, removing Karatoh for good can also prevent severe computer infections. Please scroll down to the bottom of this article for manual Karatoh removal instructions.

What is more, if you decide to uninstall Karatoh on your own, you need to check for other unwanted applications as well. It is obvious that you have many adware and potentially unnecessary programs on your computer because Karatoh gets distributed with freeware. Its official website at karatoh.com is not useful at all because the download link there does not work. It is not surprising because all adware applications from the SuperWeb family have dysfunctional homepages.

Now that we have established that there is nothing we can get from Karatoh’s homepage, we need to understand one more thing. Even if the direct distribution is impossible, there are still plenty of ways for this adware application to enter your computer. As mentioned above, Karatoh apparently employs bundled downloads to travel around. On top of that, you have installed this adware program on your computer yourself when you downloaded some freeware app. You probably don’t remember it, but it is very likely that Karatoh informed you about the oncoming installation, and you just didn’t notice that.

If you think that Karatoh looks familiar, then you are most probably right. This application is the same as Key Lime Lizard, Storimbo, Rad Rader, Boxed Books, and other apps from the SuperWeb group. It also means that Karatoh adds extensions to Internet Explorer and Mozilla Firefox browsers. It might add one to Google Chrome as well, but the newest Chrome versions are known to block the extension. This only proves that nothing good can come of Karatoh, and you must terminate it.

This application cannot do any harm to your computer on its own, but it is very dangerous as a potential malware distribution tool. If cyber criminals decide to exploit this app, you would be up for a big trouble. Therefore, uninstall Karatoh right now and invest in a licensed computer security application.

You have to make sure that you delete all the unwanted programs from your computer, so the best way to take care of that is to resort to using a professional security tool. Not to mention that it will safeguard your computer against similar intruders in the future.
