According to our researchers, this browser hijacker should be spread through bundled installers, which could be found on various questionable file-sharing websites. Meaning, the installer might have had additional software such as Searchinworld.biz, PUPs, etc. and you accepted it. Probably, you did not review what was written on the installation wizard’s steps, but there should have been an opportunity to untick the suggestions if you do not approve. It is better to look for more information about file-sharing websites or programs that you want to download as it might help you to stay away from bundled installers and doubtful software.

We noticed that some users complained and asked how to remove Searchinworld.biz in the mentioned forum. Awful reviews from users indicate that there is something wrong with the application. Users complain that the search engine is intrusive and annoying because of constant ads. However, there is a bigger problem with this browser hijacker. When you look for something on Searchinworld.biz, you will be provided with the modified search results, which will have doubtful ads. The browser hijacker takes these advertisements from third-parties that it does not review, so it means that some of the ads could be from harmful websites.
