Dragon Honey

You won’t really be able to use your browser normally if a browser hijacker like Dragon Honey is attached to it. Dragon Honey is a software application that, although not harmful, can be quite irritating and can also cause certain issues with your browser.In most cases, apps of this kind ( Hericard.co.in , Chromstera) can get added to different browsers and not only to one. Hijackers are usually compatible with Chrome, Firefox, Edge and Safari, as these are the most popular and frequently used browsing programs.

In and of itself, this form of activity isn’t really something harmful and it will not mess with your system, files, online profiles or with anything else since hijackers aren’t related to ransomware, spyware and other nasty viruses. Despite that, it can still be risky to keep a hijacker on the computer you are using. Besides, the annoyance coming from such an app can be quite intolerable and this is actually the reason why most users who get a hijacker in their browsers are eager to uninstall the invasive application and all of its customized components that it has enforced upon the browser’s settings.As far as the removal of Dragon Honey is concerned, you can find instructions on how to remove it below. Make sure to follow them as it’s best to keep ad-generating software away from your computer so that you do not accidentally get exposed to Trojans, spyware, ransomware cryptoviruses or other nefarious malware programs.

What is Dragon Honey?

Once Dragon Honey inserts itself into the browser, it is likely to bring along a new search engine tool and set a new homepage and new-tab page to the user’s browser. This is all done in order to turn the browser into an advertising platform for banners, page redirects, pop-ups, pop-unders, new-tabs and other intrusive commercial messages. Of course, the idea is that the ads and the redirects will make money for the creators of Dragon Honey on the basis of Pay Per Click and Pay Per View remuneration models.

Dragon Honey on Chrome

Dragon Honey is a relatively new software piece, yet there are already many users who seem to have had it installed on their machines. If you are among these users, you may not really remember installing Dragon Honey yourself. This is because the representatives of the browser hijacker category are usually “hidden” inside installer files of other programs. By hidden, we mean that such hijackers are likely to get added to software installation packages as bonus elements that may not be properly disclosed. In many instances, the only way to see that an app like Dragon Honey is included in a given installer is by accessing the Custom setup settings. Most users, however, rarely (if ever) do this, which is why it’s so easy to get Dragon Honey installed without even realizing it. However, if you actually do access the Custom/Advanced setup menu, you will be able to leave out any potentially unwanted components and only install the program that you want.

Dragon Honey Extension

Dragon Honey extension is a term increasingly encountered by users experiencing unwanted behaviors on their browsers, manifesting as a browser hijacker or adware. This malicious software coerces users into repeatedly installing the Dragon Honey extension under the guise of necessary functionality. Victims report being redirected to installation prompts when attempting to use search engines, resulting in disrupted browsing experiences as tabs close unexpectedly. Solutions include scrutinizing installed browser extensions and applications for unfamiliar entries. For instance, the presence of applications with unrelated or deceptive names might indicate the source of such hijacks. A recommended remedy involves accessing browser settings to remove unrecognized extensions and performing a factory reset of the computer while ensuring personal data is backed up. This process, although drastic, effectively eradicates the underlying issue, restoring control to the user.

Uninstall the Dragon Honey app and kill its processes

The first thing you must try to do is look for any sketchy installs on your computer and uninstall anything you think may come from Dragon Honey. After that, you’ll also need to get rid of any processes that may be related to the unwanted app by searching for them in the Task Manager.

Note that sometimes an app, especially a rogue one, may ask you to install something else or keep some of its data (such as settings files) on your PC – never agree to that when trying to delete a potentially rogue software. You need to make sure that everything is removed from your PC to get rid of the malware. Also, if you aren’t allowed to go through with the uninstallation, proceed with the guide, and try again after you’ve completed everything else.

• Uninstalling the rogue app
• Killing any rogue processes

Type Apps & Features in the Start Menu, open the first result, sort the list of apps by date, and look for suspicious recently installed entries.

Click on anything you think could be linked to Dragon Honey, then select uninstall, and follow the prompts to delete the app.

Press Ctrl + Shift + Esc, click More Details (if it’s not already clicked), and look for suspicious entries that may be linked to Dragon Honey.
