Viceice.com

Viceice.com is not a regular search tool. This one does not offer original services, and it works in an unpredictable manner. Instead of showing its own search results, this tool represents the infamous Google Custom Search. This search tool is based on Google’s core search technology, which means that it provides you with similar services that Google Search does. The main reason why we recommend removing Viceice.com is that this search provider shows seemingly legitimate search results along with unpredictable, sponsored links. If you want to learn more about this, continue reading this report.

Seekmix.com, RabbitSearch.net, and hundreds of other suspicious search tools whose removal we have discussed in the past all use Google Custom Search. In many cases, the credentials of Google are used only to convince users that they can trust unreliable browser hijackers or search tools that, in reality, must be deleted. Our researchers have found that the suspicious Viceice.com is very similar to another strange search tool, surfvox.com. It is possible that both of these search tools were created by the same company, and all they are likely to care about is the profit generated by representing third-party ads.

If you do not remove Viceice.com, the advertisements will show up on the homepage and will be mixed into the search results. According to support.google.com/customsearch/answer/4513751?hl=en, the parties that employ Google Custom Search can use Google AdSense. Unfortunately, there is a possibility that Viceice.com will also use less reliable advertising networks. Because the ads injected by this search tool are unpredictable, we strongly recommend thinking twice before interacting with them. Since the suspicious Viceice.com does not have a Privacy Policy, it is difficult to say whether or not this program is reliable. This is an important reason to delete this search tool from your browsers.

Our research has shown that Viceice.com can be promoted by unreliable ad-supported programs and malware that also requires removal. On top of that, this search tool could be introduced by unreliable, malicious software installers. Even if Viceice.com is not a major threat, the programs that are responsible for letting it in or that come packaged with it might be extremely malicious. If you do not recognize and remove these threats in time, your virtual security could be jeopardized, and we want to help you avoid this. Hopefully, you are receiving this information in time.

According to our researchers, you should reset your browsers to delete Viceice.com. The instructions below will show you how to reset Google Chrome, Mozilla Firefox, and Internet Explorer browsers. Once you perform this step, we advise installing a legitimate security tool that is capable of deleting leftover infections. It is possible that you will need to remove Viceice.com leftovers as well. Some users might be able to delete unreliable software manually, but ensuring Windows protection is a task that even experienced users have trouble handling. Therefore, we strongly recommend installing authentic security software to protect your operating system and clear it from malicious infections.
