Discoverreceipt.com

Discoverreceipt.com may look like a legitimate and reliable search engine, but the truth is that it does not work. However, if it did, then it would probably subject you to promotional links and ads featured in its search results. Therefore, we highly recommend that you remove it from your browser before it subjects you to questionable and possibly dangerous content because it is all about making money for its developers. To maximize profits, this search engine is designed to gather anonymous and even personal information about you and use it to customize the advertising campaign. For more information, please read this whole article.

Before we go any further regarding Discoverreceipt.com’s features, we must discuss its origins and dissemination methods. One of the reasons why you should not trust this search engine is that it comes from an unknown company. Indeed, it is not known who set it up or who owns it, but it is clear as day that this hijacker is dedicated to generating adverting revenue. We have come to this conclusion because it has many clones that include Searchbent.com, Lookupopinion.com, and Opinionfind.com. They all look similar and are hosted on the same server, so there is no doubt that they come from the same source.

Now, while it is not known how Discoverreceipt.com is currently being disseminated, we assume that its owners have made arrangements to include it in bundled freeware installers or software downloaders featured on unreliable free software hosting websites. The installers may explicitly offer you to install this search engine while others might hide its presence and you have to deselect its installation manually by opting for custom/advanced installation settings and unchecking its respective checkbox. While there is no concrete information at this time, it is more than likely that its developers use rather deceptive methods to get it on your browser.

If Discoverreceipt.com is indeed distributed the way we think it is, then the installers it comes with are configured to interact with your web browser and replace its homepage address. The information we have found suggests that it is compatible with the three most used web browsers that include Microsoft Internet Explorer, Google Chrome, and Mozilla Firefox. Once it is set as your browser’s homepage, and you start using it as a search engine, you will see promotional links and advertisements among its search results. This search engine’s Terms of Use states that “You acknowledge that discoverreceipt.com does not verify, endorse, or vouch for the companies or entities listed or advertised on the Site.” From this quote, you can see that its secretive owners shed all responsibility in case the promoted content proves to be dangerous and malicious.

Like its clones, this new search engine is designed to collect information about you. According to its privacy policy, “We track user behavior and use of our services through the use of cookies and web beacons.” Specifically, this hijacker’s owners have configured this search engine to automatically collect anonymous information such as your IP address, browser type, search queries, and so on. Furthermore, if you contact Discoverreceipt.com’s staff via the messaging system featured on this search engine and reveal personal details about yourself, they will also be obtained, stored, and used for advertising purposes to customize the advertising campaign for each unique user to generate more advertising income.

We hope that you found this article insightful. Evidently, Discoverreceipt.com is a highly unreliable and possibly dangerous search engine because it can feature shady promotional links in its search results. Fortunately, its search function does not work, so you cannot use it. If you want to remove this search engine, but do not know how then we invite you to make use of the guide provided below.
