SumoSearch is mainly known as a search engine that behaves like a browser hijacker.

Here’s a simple breakdown:

• What it does: SumoSearch can change your browser’s settings — like your homepage, search engine, or new tab — without your full permission.

• Where it comes from: It usually sneaks onto computers bundled with free software downloads or suspicious browser extensions.

• Why it’s a problem:

  • It floods your search results with ads and sponsored links.

  • It can track your browsing habits (like what you search for, what websites you visit).

  • It’s often annoying and hard to remove without special tools.

• Is it a virus? No, technically it’s not a virus. But it’s considered "potentially unwanted software" (PUP).

???? If you’re seeing SumoSearch without choosing it yourself, it’s a good idea to remove it using a trusted antivirus or manually resetting your browser settings.
