Gikayo.org

Posted: July 4, 2017

Gikayo.org is a German search engine, which appears to be linked to a browser extension that goes by the name 'Gikayo Search.' When this software is installed, it might ask users to agree to authorize it to modify their default new tab page to Gikayo.org. While this change is not harmful, users who don't speak German might not be happy with the chance since Gikayo.org's entire interface is written in German. Furthermore, the search engine does not appear to work properly since it only brings a blank page whenever the users attempt to search for anything. Some of Gikayo.org's other features might appear handy since the page features a customizable search feature, which gives visitors the opportunity to make their searches much more specific. However, all this is useless unless Gikayo.org's primary search feature is fixed to display results.

While Gikayo Search and Gikayo.org don't show any suspicious behavior, we advise our readers to stay away from unknown search engines like this one, unless they are 100% certain in their reputation and reliability. If you did not install Gikayo Search on purpose, and you'd like to remove Gikayo.org from your browser's settings, then you should know that there are two ways to solve this minor issue. The removal of Gikayo Search is the first step, and it can be carried out either manually, or by using a reputable anti-virus utility, which also specializes in eliminating Potentially Unwanted Programs (PUPs). Keep in mind that sometimes it might be necessary to restore your default new tab page manually after you complete Gikayo Search's removal.
