Binkiland.com virus - How to remove

Binkiland.com virus is a browser hijacker that can take over Internet Explorer, Google Chrome, Safari, and Firefox. This browser add-on usually infiltrates computers with the help of freeware programs from the Internet and adware viruses. Its owners make money from advertising in the search results.

Once in the browser, the Binkiland.com virus replaces your homepage and default search provider without a possibility to discard these changes – other than removing the extension. Despite Binkiland.com looking like a normal search provider, it is more concerned with showing ads than giving users quality search experience.

Installing the extension by Binkiland.com can result in a lot more ads in the browser – ads which are not only annoying but can cause redirections to malicious websites. It is recommended to remove the Binkiland.com virus as soon as you detect it. Run a full system scan with Spyhunter (Windows), Combo Cleaner (Mac OS), or another anti-malware program, or use the guide below and remove this hijacker manually.

Binkiland.com is not a valuable site, luckily, its usage has fallen quite a bit over the years. Still, thousands of browsers out there are infected with this annoying new tab virus. Besides, various hijackers, like MyWay, continue to be strong.  This means that search redirect viruses are still a danger and a relevant problem.

About Binkiland.com virus

Binkiland.com virus is practically identical to Astromenda Search or Taplika virus. As already mentioned, the program replaces your homepage and default search page regardless of your previous browser settings. You might have crafted the perfect new tab page to fit your personal needs, but Binkiland.com sweeps in and replaces it. Then it modifies your search results by adding sponsored websites and ads among regular search results. If you try to use another search engine or set a different website as your homepage, you will not be allowed to do it very easily. Binkiland.com virus doesn’t let you make such changes unless you remove it from your computer.

The goal of the Binkiland.com virus is to advertise commercial websites and make money from affiliate marketing. It seeks to build bigger traffic for partner sites and improve their page rankings in search results. This is unfair marketing – after all, Binkiland.com doesn’t really get installed because people want it (they don’t), but by being sneaked in by other programs and ads. Because of that and since the tool makes changes in computers without users’ permission, it is categorized as a potentially unwanted program.

You should also bear in mind that the Binkiland.com virus can control some other aspects of your browser, like opening new tabs and seeing and changing what is displayed on some websites. This means that it can redirect you to malicious websites and, since Binkiland.com is associated with some really low-quality and even dangerous sites, you can get your computer infected there. So to avoid possible infections and irritating redirection, it is recommended to remove Binkiland.com virus as soon as possible.

Distribution Methods of Binkiland.com virus

Binkiland.com virus takes over various browsers when users are installing free applications from the Internet, such as media players, PDF creators, download managers, etc. The best way to avoid it is to be more attentive with the installation steps of your downloads. Often users just keep hitting the ‘Next’ button until the installation is complete. This is a big mistake as this way you may skip option indicating about optional downloads without even noticing that and allow additional programs to be added to your system or to replace your homepage to unknown search providers.

Adware and bad ads on shady sites also spread fake search providers like Binkiland.com. It’s hard to avoid these, but just remember to be careful and read the text on a website. Some bad ads rely on misleading people by hiding crucial information in very fine print and muted colors. Accidentally installing a browser extension isn’t unheard of and deceptive extension installation is a relevant problem. People who don’t want new tab viruses like Binkiland.com on their computer can avoid most of them by being very careful, luckily, removal isn’t too complicated.

To remove Binkiland.com virus, follow the guide below or use an anti-malware tool and fix this issue automatically.
