What is Ieodk.xyz?

Ieodk.xyz is a browser-hijacking application that affects only macOS devices. This program sets http://ieodk.xyz/ as a primary homepage/search provider and prevents them from changing. At first glance it looks like an ordinary search engine, such as Google, Yahoo or Bing, but, in reality, Ieodk.xyz is very annoying. This program displays advertisements, banners, and coupons. Needless to say, that sponsored ads generate revenue for developers. All this, surely, interferes with the computer user’s browsing experience. Furthermore, this adware monitors user’s browsing activity like IP addresses, web pages visited, browsing history, cookies, account credentials, and other information. Then, all collected data will be sold to third-party companies. In short, don’t be surprised then, if you find that your personal data is shared. Follow this guide to remove Ieodk.xyz from your macOS device.
