What is Key-Find.com?

Key-Find.com is a website related to the Key Find browser hijacker. Once the hijacker is on your PC, it will set key-find.com as your browser's home page as well as default search engine, usually without your authorization. All searches are then redirected through key-find.com instead of your preferred search engine.

The hijacker is often bundled with popular freeware applications, such as video converters, YouTube downloaders etc. When you attempt to install such application, the installer will have Key-Find.com pre-selected to automatically install along with the app.

It is very important to have your browser free of such hijackers, because your browsing habits can be reported to third party companies, which will then serve you with customized ads while you browse the web.
