Discoveranswer.com

Do not mistake Discoveranswer.com for a reliable search engine. Although it has a skin of one, it does not offer any beneficial services, and that is the ultimate reason to delete it from your web browsers. Unfortunately, there might be more than meets the eye. This suspicious search provider is distributed in a strange way, and its inability to offer you any useful services might hide some things. Our research team has thoroughly analyzed this suspicious search tool, and we have come up with a solution that will help you remove Discoveranswer.com. Although we are sure that you want to get rid of this useless search tool, you might want to read the report to learn more about it first. If you do not have time for this, move to the last paragraph where we discuss how to eliminate it from such popular browsers as Internet Explorer, Google Chrome, and Mozilla Firefox.

Did you expect Discoveranswer.com to offer you great services when you chose to install it onto your browsers? We are sure that you did because no one wants to install useless software. Unfortunately, this search tool is exactly that, useless. You will not be provided with any search results regardless of which search keyword you type in, and the “Top Searches” quick-links do not work either. The strange thing is that we have recently discovered quite a few search tools that are just as worthless. They include discoveranswer.com, lookupopinion.com, and detailexplore.com. Were they created by the same developer? Considering that they look and work in the exact same way, it is very possible that the same party stands behind these search tools. Well, isn’t it strange that someone is creating multiple useless search providers? This certainly is a red flag that might push you to delete Discoveranswer.com.

Considering that Discoveranswer.com and its clones are worthless, it is strange that computer users agree to install them. Was the search tool installed without your permission? Did you install it by accident? Were you tricked into installing it? While it is unlikely that Discoveranswer.com would corrupt your browsers without your permission, you might have acquired it along with other programs. A software bundle is a package of different programs that are carried by the same installer. Legitimate and trustworthy bundles exist, but there are far more malicious and misleading bundles, some of which are even capable of slipping in malware without any warning. Even if you think that the programs bundled with the suspicious search tool are harmless, you should do some investigating. The easiest way to learn whether or not you need to delete malware is to use a legitimate malware scanner. After all, you must have been tricked into thinking that Discoveranswer.com is useful, and it is clear now that it is not.

Do you remember when we mentioned that the suspicious search tool might be hiding some things? Well, as it becomes clear by analyzing the Privacy Policy, Discoveranswer.com uses persistent and session cookies. These cookies record all kinds of information, and they transfer it to the developer of the search tool as well as other unknown parties. Are tracking cookies inactive because the search engine itself is inactive? Unfortunately, they might be recording your every move, and that is why we suggest that you clear them as well. In fact, this is the main reason why we suggest resetting your web browsers. Even if these tracking cookies were harmless – considering that they do not track personally identifiable information, they probably are – they do not help you in any way. They cannot even enhance the services provided by the search tool because it simply does not function.

Once you reset your browsers, you might want to modify homepage and search provider tools. We add steps that will help you both reset the browsers and set the desired settings. If you have any questions about the manual removal of Discoveranswer.com, do not hesitate to leave a comment below. When it comes to third-party software, scan your PC first to check if threats are detected. If the threats found are too complicated to eliminate manually, use an automated malware remover. We suggest downloading an anti-malware tool that will simultaneously clean your PC and reinforce its protection.
