Hello @,
 
Welcome to the Webroot Community,
 
Binkiland Search is a browser hijacker, which is promoted via other free downloads, and once installed it will change your browser homepage and default search engine to binkiland.com.
Binkiland Search homepage got on your computer after you have installed a freeware software (video recording/streaming, download-managers or PDF creators) that had bundled into their installation this browser hijacker.
For example, when you install VPlay, you will also agree to change your browser homepage and default search engine to binkiland.com.
However when you uninstall VPlay from your computer, your web browser’s default settings will not be restored. This means that you’ll have to remove Binkiland Search homepage from your favorite web browser manually.
 
Please go here to our Knowledge Base Article about How to remove PUAs
 
Also you can uninstall web browser extensions from your Chrome, Firefox, and Internet Explorer that are infected with Binkiland.com Search.
* In Mozila goto -> setting menu -> Add-ons -> Extension -> & remove Binkiland extension. After that change your homepage in option.
* In chrome goto -> setting  -> Extension -> & remove Binkiland extension. After that change your homepage in setting. 
* In IE goto -> setting menu -> Manage Add-ons  -> & remove Binkiland extension. After that change your homepage in internet options. 
 
If you cannot remove Binkiland from the Add Remove Programs, Then you can use,
Revo Uninstaller  Information and Download
  • Third Party Utility  Included even though a third party utility due to recommendation.  Free and fuller featured pro versions available, this utility helps remove stubborn remnants standard uninstalls can leave behind.
If this doesn't work then you can submit a Support Ticket free of charge with a active Webroot subscription and they will remove this crapware from your computer.
 
Hope this helps,
 
 
Kind Regards,
