It was recently developed by Palikan Software and the developers saying that Palikan has a lot features to offer such as the latest search algorithms, tools, add-ons and extensions. All of that supposedly should enhance user’s web browsing and help to organize the best websites during Internet surfing. Unfortunately, same as the most of malware developers Palikan Software is trying to buy users with a large quantity of “useful”, but inexistent features.

Users who are using Palikan Search are being always redirected to third party websites and risking to get infected with malware.
