Quick Baro Search Messes Up Browser Settings

web browser

Quick Baro Search is the name of a potentially unwanted program that exhibits all the features commonly found in browser hijackers.

When installed on your system and nested inside your favorite browser, Quick Baro Search will make a number of changes and alterations to the browser. The default search engine you used inside that browser up to that point will be swapped out for the one supplied by Quick Baro Search. The homepage set in the browser will also be changed to barosearch dot com.

Those changes take place without proper disclosure and without asking for the explicit consent of the user. This sort of quiet alteration of browser settings makes Quick Baro Search a browser hijacker.

The searches you make using the hijacker's engine can also be tracked and stored, and search queries resold to third parties. All of this is undesirable behavior and should not be taking place if you use your browser normally.

All of those things put applications such as Quick Baro Search into the broader category of potentially unwanted applications and make them browser hijackers, to narrow things down. If you find the app on your system and find your browser settings switched around, it is advisable that you uninstall Quick Baro Search and restore your browser to its original condition.
