Startsearch.org

Posted: September 2, 2016 | Category: Browser Hijackers

In addition to the dysfunctional search feature, Startsearch.org's homepage also shows a number of quick links to popular Web destinations like Facebook, eBay, Pinterest, etc. Judging by the way Startsearch.org is set-up, it is very likely that it is meant to be used as a homepage.
