Eseeky.com is a browser hijacker that looks like a reliable search engine. It can be installed to random computers bundled with free software that is available on the Internet. Although it is possible to refuse installing Eseeky.com during the installation of the main software, quite often users skip many steps of the installation just to make it quicker and this way they end up getting additional unwanted programs.
Once inside, Eseeky.com changes your homepage and default search provider. It causes constant redirect to unknown websites and badly disturbs your work on the Internet. The program can also track your browsing activities and send this information to the third parties. Later it can be used for marketing purposes and you will experience even more annoying consequences.
It is not recommended to keep Eseeky.com on your system as it will only bring you problems. If you have noticed it on your computer, make sure you remove it as soon as possible. Go to Control Panel -> Add and Remove programs list and uninstalling it from there. It is important that you remove all other programs installed with the hijacker, as some of them might redownload or reset back browser settings. Scan with Spyhunter as it identifies such programs quite well.
