What is Calemas.com

Calemas.com is a browser hijacker that manipulates web browser settings to redirect search queries to unwanted or malicious websites. Often bundled with free software downloads or deceptive online advertisements, this hijacker modifies browser settings without user consent. Once installed, it typically redirects search queries to dubious search engines or sponsored content, exposing users to potential threats such as phishing scams, malware, and intrusive ads. Calemas.com may come with browser extensions that further entrench its presence, making it harder to remove. These extensions can alter homepage settings, default search engines, and new tab pages, ensuring persistent redirection. Users often notice a significant decrease in browser performance and an increase in unsolicited ads. It’s crucial to exercise caution when downloading software and to regularly check browser extensions to avoid falling victim to such hijackers.
