Technically, there is nothing dangerous about ibrowsersearch.com. As research carried out by malware analysts working at pcthreat.com has shown, this search provider uses Google search engine, which means that users will be provided with reliable search results. According to specialists, users should not see any modified search results too. There are hundreds of untrustworthy search providers that display various sponsored links redirecting to dubious websites, but ibrowsersearch.com should not be one of them. Of course, we do not try to say here that you should keep it set on your web browser.

ibrowsersearch.com is not a popular search tool, so, in our opinion, users do not set it on their browsers consciously. It is more likely that they find their browsers’ settings altered without their knowledge after they open a web browser they use to surf the Web. ibrowsersearch.com is not a browser hijacker, according to researchers. They say that it should be set as a default search tool when users install the browser extension promoting it. This piece of software might travel in software bundles together with other applications, so it is not surprising that some people admit that they do not know how and when ibrowsersearch.com has been set on their browsers. There are hundreds of other search providers that might be set on your web browsers, so you should always be careful with software you download from the Internet if you do not want to find your browsers’ settings changed without your permission. We cannot guarantee that you will prevent all untrustworthy applications from entering your PC by simply being more cautious. In our opinion, all users must have a security application installed on their computers as well so that they could browse the web fearlessly.

As mentioned previously, there is a huge possibility that you have installed some kind of browser extension that has changed your browsers’ settings automatically, so you should check all installed extensions and delete those you know nothing about.
