How to remove Palikan (Virus Removal Guide)

Palikan (also searched for as Palikan virus) is a publisher of various potentially unwanted programs, or PUPs for short, and browser attachments found in the adware and browser hijacker categories of computer threats. Programs and attachments include Palikan Browser (an open-source Chromium browser), Palikan New Tab 0.0.1, Go_Palikan, and others. Palikan Browser, Go_Palikan, the Palikan New Tab extension, and other programs are primarily used to change existing internet browser settings and default internet browsers. Palikan programs and browser attachments will change the homepage, new tab, default search engine, and browser shortcut target of Google Chrome, Mozilla Firefox, Microsoft Internet Explorer and Edge, and other internet browsers and cause them to redirect to palikan.com, search yahoo.com, and other webpages when you search the web using the browser address bar, open a new browser window, or open a new browser tab.

What is Palikan?

Palikan Browser, Go_Palikan, Chromium, and other programs associated with this title are typically promoted by third-party download managers and software bundlers as an alternative internet browser that allows 1-click access to your favorite websites. Palikan New is promoted as an external browser add-on and extension used to change new tab, homepage, and default search of each installed internet browser to palikan.com and other URLs.

Aside from unwanted browser redirects to palikan.com and webpages on the same domain, the program is also known to serve advertisements while you browse the web, or bundle with third-party adware that serves additional ads. Ads by Palikan are known as ‘targeted’ style advertisements. This means that the adware will manufacture advertisements based off of your personal browsing data, such as your bookmarks and history. Advertisements displayed by Palikan programs and browser attachments and adware that may bundle with it can usually be identified by text that says something similar to “Ads by Palikan” or “Brought by Palikan” on them. Advertisements may also arrive in different formats including generic pop-ups and banners, as well as in-text advertisements that appear when you hover your mouse over unlined and hyperlinked text on a webpage.

Although the infection is often referred to as the Palikan virus, the programs and browser attachments are not technically defined as a computer virus. However, the objects are still a threat to your privacy and can be the sign of a severe malware infection since they are known to bundle with other unwanted programs and malware. The professional internet security community strongly recommends that you remove Palikan programs and browser attachments if you find them installed on your machine or attached to your internet browsers as a browser add-ons and extensions. Furthermore, it is recommended to use reputable Antivirus or Anti-Malware software to eradicate any existing malicious files that may have arrived with these objects.
