Remove Whilokii - Here's how
Whilokii is not a real virus, but you should remove it from your computer. The small tool is usually installed unnoticed on your computer with another program. Although it does not do any direct damage, it makes your system unsafe because it can redirect you to contaminated websites. We show you how to delete Whilokii completely.
Remove Whilokii adware from Windows
- Since it is not known what dangers are posed by Whilokii, you should first uninstall the program using the Control Panel. You can find detailed instructions on how this works under your Windows version in this practical tip.
- Look for the entry "Whilokii" or "Whilokii 1.0.0". If the program is uninstalled, the remains must be removed from your browser and your system.
Remove Whilokii from the browser
Since Whilokii mainly consists of a browser add-on, you should also remove the extension. In some cases, this can already be done with the deinstallation via the control panel. Follow the instructions for each browser you have installed on your computer:
- Google Chrome
- Mozilla Firefox
- Internet Explorer
Change search engine in the browser
The unnoticed conversion of the search engine is particularly annoying. You should also change this again in your browser, since the search engine can inadvertently redirect you to websites contaminated with viruses.
- Google Chrome
- Mozilla Firefox
- Internet Explorer
Check computers for pests
- To remove the last remnants of the program, you should still scan your computer with the free tool "AdwCleaner". This specializes in such software and can also delete some remaining files.
- Since it is not certain whether the program is loading malware or you have already caught a malicious file via a redirect, you should have your system checked urgently. Use not only your already installed anti-virus system, but also an external scanner such as "Malwarebytes Anti-Malware".
The start page of your browser may also have changed. This practical tip will tell you how to change them again.
