Piesearch.com

Piesearch.com is a strange search provider that redirects to google.com as soon as you enter your keywords. This should be the first sign that this program is unreliable and deserves removal. Of course, not all computer users are quick to realize that a search provider routing to a popular, reliable search engine can be dangerous. According to our research team, this suspicious search tool is fairly new, and it is possible that it is yet to be spread across the web. Hopefully, you will read this report in time, so you can protect your PC from this suspicious search tool. If you need to remove Piesearch.com already, continue reading our report.

Although, Piesearch.com uses Google as a search provider, you have to remove this browser hijacker as soon as possible. Yes, we identify Piesearch.com as a browser hijacker because it could enter your operating system and take over the browsers without your permission. If that happens, you will find that your homepage and default search provider were modified without permission. If that does not send you a signal that this search tool is unreliable and deserves removal, we are not sure that anything will. Of course, if you are reading this report, you must have a suspicion that Piesearch.com is unreliable.

Another sign that Piesearch.com is untrustworthy is the lack of official information. Although you can find links to the License Agreement and the Privacy Policy on the home page of this search engine, these links do not work. If you are not provided with information regarding the activity of any kind of program, you cannot trust it! Unfortunately, it is possible that the creators of Piesearch.com are hiding something important, and, if you decide to trust this unpredictable search tool, you might put your own virtual security at risk. By this point, it should already be clear that this hijacker deserves removal.

One more reason to delete Piesearch.com from your browsers is the suspicious advertising. This hijacker can display banner ads on its home page, and interacting with these ads could be very dangerous. Although the links to Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn, Skype, and Instagram are authentic, the links hidden behind attractive, flashy ads could route you to malicious websites. As you might know, you cannot remove these irritating ads, but you can ignore them. Of course, instead of ignoring the suspicious ads or the fact that they are introduced by a very suspicious search tool, it is best to remove Piesearch.com.

We could not find a reason why you should keep Piesearch.com on your operating system. This search provider is useless and dangerous, and so keeping it installed could pose risks to your own security. We have created a removal guide that should help you remove Piesearch.com from your browsers. Once this part of the removal is complete, we advise using an automated malware detection and removal tool to delete any leftovers (e.g., tracking cookies) and other potentially active infections.
