Most likely you would like to protect your PC from malware infections; yet, you may keep visiting suspicious websites, including file-sharing, gaming, dating, and porn-related pages. You need to understand that these pages may contain several dangerous third-party ads, some of which may not even appear to be as commercial ads. Shady websites, for example, tend to display fake download and navigational buttons, which can be very misleading and if you are not familiar with the website, you may easily get confused and click on the wrong content. This could lead to your downloading a whole bundle of malware threats, including adware programs, fake alerts, browser hijackers, Trojans, and potentially unwanted applications.

It is also possible that while you are browsing the web, you see a notification (either a banner or pop-up) that claims that your browser needs a special plugin or a driver update to be able to play or display you certain content and you need to install it by clicking OK or Install. This notification can also be about updating your system because supposedly a malware infection has been detected. You should never fall for such tricks because one click can drop a bundle of threats onto your machine. You can also be introduced to such unsafe third-party ads if there are malware infections on your system. You may have let adware apps or browser hijackers on board previously, which can provide a flow of questionable content in your browsers. It is essential to know that an adware program, for instance, can alter legitimate ads and redirect you to malicious pages or drop infections. Thus, you can never feel safe if such infections are on board. Still wonder why we recommend the use of a trustworthy malware scanner after you delete Search.search1000tr.com?

This featured search website has the characteristic fake toolbar with the search tool, news and local weather quick links, which are also general features for all identical or similar browser hijackers in this family. It is worth mentioning that the weather forecast page can contain several third-party ads that you should not trust at all. This is not only annoying but can be risky too if you click on any of those. This search page offers you a few quick links to cooking and recipe-related websites, such as recipessimplified.com and foodnetwork.com. Please note that you can always use the built-in bookmarking function of your browsers if you want to have preferred pages one click away in your browsers. It really makes no sense to use an unreliable search website for this.

This search page also offers you a row of thumbnail links below the main search box, which can be hidden or shown as you wish by clicking on the respective link. We do not advise you to use this search engine because it may show you questionable results. Although all your searches are forwarded to a Yahoo search results page, this hijacker may include its own third-party ads and sponsored content, which may not all be trustworthy enough. In fact, cyber crooks tend to exploit such browser hijackers to promote their malicious content this way, hiding behind the veils of legitimate and trusted search engines like Yahoo and Google, which are the two mostly used by browser hijackers. If you do not want to open malicious pages in new tabs or windows, download more malware infections, or let cyber crooks steal your money by scamming you, we believe that it is best if you remove Search.search1000tr.com from your browsers right away.
