Learn How to Remove Claro Search Hijacker From Your Browser
One needs to take great care when installing any program to his computer because Claro search often gets to computers when installing programs that have Claro search bundled in them.
I was a victim of this browser hijacker for almost two weeks and I tried all I could to remove it but to no avail.
I also uninstalled it from the control panel but that did not also solve the problem.
After trying for two weeks, I got a solution and I am going to share it with you now.
