Remove Dood Colors virus

How to remove Dood Colors? Dood Colors is an add-on in the browser, also known as a browser hijacker. Dood Colors modifies settings in the browser and redirects the home page and search engine to unwanted ads.

Besides Dood Colors modifying the browser, Dood Colors also displays ads on different websites while using the browser. You will recognize these ads as pop-ups. These pop-ups promoted by Dood Colors try to trick you into making online purchases or installing unwanted software.

The sole purpose of Dood Colors is to generate revenue by displaying online ads and tricking the victim into clicking on them.

In most cases, Dood Colors is a browser extension. You can find this browser extension in the extension settings in your browser. However, it also happens that it is a software application that you installed through a rogue website.
