Search.browsersearch.net

Search.browsersearch.net is an untrustworthy search tool that users can find set on their browsers as a homepage or a new default search tool. It seems that it works on Android and iOS devices only, but, without a doubt, it can apply settings to all web browsers it finds installed on them, including Mozilla Firefox, Google Chrome, and Safari. If you already see a new website looking like an ordinary search tool open for you automatically each time you launch your web browser, this must be a sign that the browser hijacker has already affected it. Search.browsersearch.net is a product of AirFind, and we have to admit that it might really seem to be a reliable search tool at first glance. No matter you have a positive or a negative opinion about it, go to remove it from your browsers today because it is definitely not one of those legitimate search providers. Decent search tools never show up on users’ web browsers without permission, and, unfortunately, it is only one of several drawbacks it has. Read the next paragraph to find more about it.

Search.browsersearch.net is called an untrustworthy search tool not without reason. First of all, it does not fit into the legitimate search tools category because it acts as a browser hijacker. That is, it can alter web browsers’ settings without the users’ knowledge. If you are sure you have not set it on browsers yourself, it is very likely that your browsers have been hijacked too. You will see it open on your screen each time you launch your browser if you do not do anything about its presence. Specialists at pcthreat.com say that users should not use this search tool to perform web searches even though it looks like an ordinary search provider because they might be presented with third-party links. We do not say that all these links are bad, but you might be presented with links leading straight to dubious websites too. It is one of the main reasons you should not use this search tool and go to remove it completely as soon as possible. If you do not believe that these links can cause trouble and decide to let this search tool stay, you should also be aware of the fact that Search.browsersearch.net will collect information about you every day. To find out what details about users it is interested in, we asked our specialists to carry out in-depth research.
