Explorednow.com may look as a reliable search engine and even provide you with quite reliable results to your search queries. But you should know that the hijacker positions itself as a global leader in “search engine marketing and web traffic generation.” This implies that it should promote the websites and products of its business partners. Probably, Explorednow.com will do this by trying to redirect you to the third-party websites by mixing links that lead to them with relevant search results.

You should also know that Explorednow.com places cookies on your computer. This allows the browser hijacker to monitor your Internet activity. It promises not to disclose the gathered data to any of third parties. However, those third parties are allowed to place their ads on the website of Explorednow.com, and the browser hijacker is unable to control how they collect information about you. They even may collect your personally identifiable information, and this could really lead to unwanted consequences. All the gathered data may be used to launch a financial scam attack on you. In any case, ignore all the ads provided by this browser hijacker.

Another thing that should help you decide on the elimination of Explorednow.com is that this browser hijacker tricks unaware PC users and enters their computer without their notice.
