WeKnow

The WeKnow software is classified as a Potentially Unwanted Program (PUP) by many computer security products. These applications are not a threat to your computer’s health and safety, but they may introduce undesired changes to the Web browser or the system configuration. WeKnow is a PUP that targets mostly Mac OSX users. The changes associated with the WeKnow PUP may have a negative impact on the user’s Web browsing experience. This is because WeKnow may replace their default Web browser’s new tab or search aggregator with one of these two URLs – Weknow.start.me or Weknow.ac.

The WeKnow may be included in software bundles, or it might be promoted via deceptive advertisements directly. The description of the WeKnow tool is very poor, and it only tells the users that they should use the WeKnow’s advanced search engine. However, a quick visit to Weknow.ac or Weknow.start.me reveals that there is nothing special about this search aggregator, and it offers no advantages compared to popular choices like Google, Bing or Yahoo.

If you see the WeKnow’s websites when using your Web browser regularly, then it is likely that you have this Potentially Unwanted Program (PUP) on your computer. The recommended reaction is to uninstall the intrusive program with the help of a PC security tool. The removal of WeKnow should revert the configuration changes that this PUP brought.
