So, all these nuisances and possible privacy threats encouraged me to write this removal guide. Personally, I don't think that authors of this search engine and toolbar can't make a proper uninstaller. It's not so difficult after all. They do this on purpose. At the moment, their uninstall removes MixiDJ Toolbar only and leaves Mix Dj Claro Search unaffected. Users have to remove the remnants themselves but since not everyone is computer savvy enough to deal with web browser preferences and Windows registry, modifications can remain for months if not years. Needles to say, this is the main goal of scammers. They have plenty of time to promote other products that are sometimes misleading or even harmful. OK, so you may ask, how do I remove mixidj.claro-search.com once I've determined I have it? Simply follow the removal instructions below. I've made this removal guide as detailed as possible but if you still have problems removing Mixi Dj Claro Search from your computer, please leave a comment below. I will gladly help you. Good luck and be safe online!
