Search.loky.ch

If the Search.loky.ch site was set as your default new tab page, it is likely that you have installed a PUP (Potentially Unwanted Program) on your system unknowingly. Thankfully, PUPs are not unsafe, and you should not be worried about the state of your system or the security of your data.

Despite the fact that PUPs are not harmful to your computer, they can prove to be rather annoying. Many users report that the Search.loky.ch website has been set as their default new tab page after they have installed an extension for their Web browser. This is a trick well-used by dodgy Web browser extensions. Often, a shady Web browser extension is associated with a dodgy website. In order for the Web browser add-on to help the shady site generate more traffic, the extension would tamper with the settings on the user’s system. This behavior is a red flag, and it is the reason why the extension affiliated with the Search.loky.ch site is classified as a PUP. Keep in mind that you should avoid installing extensions that are hosted on shady third-party websites, as they are unlikely to provide you with any useful tools or information.

If the Search.loky.ch is your default new tab page, make sure to scan your computer with a genuine anti-malware application, which will help you locate the PUP and remove it safely.
