I accidentally installed Quiknowledge into my computer a few days ago, but now I don’t know how to uninstall this sick program. Can anyone help me solve the issue?
The Information of Quiknowledge
Quiknowledge is a potentially unwanted browser extension. On its official website, this program claims that using it will make you quickly get the desired information without leaving the current page. It seems that Quiknowledge can bring a lot of convenience to you. But as a matter of fact, Quiknowledge is exactly a trouble-maker. Once inside, the unwanted program is able to work on Internet Explorer, Google Chrome, Mozilla Firefox and other popular web browsers. After then, Quiknowledge will add its toolbar to your browser without your permission. You are not recommended to use the suspicious toolbar to make searches. Once you type several searching keywords to the add-on, Quiknowledge will quickly highlight any words and phrases on your current web page.
When you move the mouse to the highlighted words, new windows containing the information related to your searching queries will show up. Also, Quiknowledge will insert a lot of unwanted commercial advertisements into the pop-up windows. Similar to Ads by Super Radio, Quiknowledge ads can take you to strange websites and cause trouble to you. When Quiknowledge comes into your system, it will install additional ad-supported software utility to your computer. That is why you are often harassed by annoying pop-up ads. In conclusion, Quiknowledge is not a completely safe program. You should uninstall it from your machine as soon as possible.
