DuckDuckGo

DuckDuckGo is a genuine search provider, which can be installed on the PC manually or appear there out of the blue. SinceDuckDuckGo is not related to malware, it is sometimes called a potentially unwanted program (PUP). That's because DuckDuckGo may initiate irritating actions on the corrupted PC, for instance, display annoying pop-up advertisements, change hacked search results or slow down hacked Internet browsers. DuckDuckGo may make target Internet users visit unfamiliar websites that would never be shown by Google or other authentic search systems. When DuckDuckGo accesses the attacked PC, it mainly appears instead of the default homepage and default search system. DuckDuckGo can be downloaded from genuine download websites; however, it may also emerge on the compromised PC when the computer user does not pay enough attention to the installation process of freeware and shareware applications and agree to install DuckDuckGo or other search tool as a free addition. In order to evade that, web users should pay more attention to the installation process of freeware and shareware applications such as PDF creators, video converters and download managers. Commonly, computer users should see the check box that agrees to download DuckDuckGo and unmark it. If computer users miss this check mark, they might download DuckDuckGo to their PCs.
