About allgenius?

allgenius is a browser-based adware program that modifies various browser settings, including the search provider, and injects display ads into the user's web browser.

These ads are generally of low quality and are not related to the content of the websites being visited. Removing this adware can be challenging, as the standard installer may only remove some parts of the program and fail to reset hijacked search and home pages.
