The Look4Like browser plug-in can be found at Look4like.com and is promoted as an advanced social search engine, which functionality is comparable to Social Media NewTab. This browser plug-in may customize several options of your default Internet browser, and you may perceive that your search provider and homepage have been modified to Look4like.com. Additionally, you might experience browser redirects to less-known online stores and see banners and floating ads by Look4like.com on your favorite sites. You should know that the Look4Like plug-in is developed by the infamous ClientConnect Ltd. and may be detected by many scanners as PUP.Trovi.ChromePlugin. The Look4Like plug-in falls into the category of adware and may use pop-under windows to suggest users to install badware like Sweet Tunes Toolbar and PC Maximum Cleaner that may introduce more advertisements on your screen.
