LookSafe is a program, claiming to help Internet users safeguard their PCs’ security via blocking fraudulent websites or domain attacks. However, recently LookSafe meddles with Internet user’s regular browsing routine by forcibly modifying existing homepage, start-up page and even error page with its own, such as
Looksafesearch.com. As a matter of fact, LookSafe is not a computer virus. But according to the troubles it may bring, some security experts have identified the program as a PUP (Potentially Unwanted Program) that may be relative to adware or
browser hijacker.
