There could be a number of reasons why you have this annoying and potentially unreliable search engine in your browsers.

Apart from these options, you can also end up on an unfamiliar file-sharing or online gaming website after a web search, where you could be introduced to unreliable third-party ads. These questionable pages are usually filled with misleading third-party content. This could mean that you can click on contents that do not even resemble commercials.

This browser hijacker is quite risky to have in your browsers since even on its main page it displays third-party ads. These ads can be potentially unreliable and sometimes even quite misleading, too. For example, you may think that you see a system error message that claims that you must download an update to be able to see certain content. If you click on such content, you could be taken to malicious websites or you could also let malware infections onto your system. The search results this search engine shows you are also unreliable since this hijacker can modify the results. This means that Searchiksa.com can inject third-party ads and links into the normal search results page; therefore, it will be riskier for you to click on anything.
