Lookineo.com

Lookineo.com might look like an ordinary search engine at first sight; however, the truth is that it is a typical browser hijacker that enters systems without permission and then applies changes to all the major browsers, including Internet Explorer, Mozilla Firefox, and Google Chrome. Lookineo.com itself is developed by Development Media 73, so it is not surprising at all that it usually enters systems when users install software published by the same company. Researchers at pcthreat.com have noticed that it is mainly aimed at those users who live in France; however, there is a really huge possibility that users living somewhere else will infect their systems with this threat too.

Of course, you will not know about that because the web page you will be taken to will look completely normal. It is known that Lookineo.com might use your Internet connection too because it needs to send the collected data about your browsing activities to third-party companies. It declares that it will not collect any personal details but, unfortunately, we cannot guarantee that. Finally, we want to mention that Internet Explorer and Mozilla Firefox users might notice an annoying toolbar at the top of their browsers. It will disappear if you fully erase Lookineo.com browser hijacker.
