Tohotweb.com

Tohotweb.com does not differ from other search engines at first sight; however, it is known that it falls into the category of browser hijackers. Browsers hijackers are not very dangerous themselves, but they might change the settings of your browsers without permission. In most cases, they change homepages and search engines without permission. If you also see the presence of Tohotweb.com every time you launch your Internet Explorer, Google Chrome, or Mozilla Firefox, there is no doubt that a browser hijacker has managed to enter your system.

According to our researchers, Tohotweb.com might provide you with sponsored search results if you use the search box placed on its startup page to find the necessary information. Sponsored links and third-party ads might be placed on its startup page too, so you might click on them easily. Nobody knows what links are integrated into these ads, so you might easily end up on a corrupted website.
