Findsee.com

Posted: January 17, 2013

Findsee.com is a search engine site that appears to offer relevant search results, but actually is more likely to trigger your anti-malware programs with suspicious and potentially hazardous content. Besides the mixed nature of its web page content, Findsee.com also has been reported to be one of many sites that are promoted by browser-redirecting attacks from separate PC threats. Browser-redirecting Trojans, also known as browser hijackers, can attack the security settings of your web browser and always should be considered dangerous, regardless of whether they're redirecting you to Findsee.com or some other site. Instead of trying to modify your browser's settings to stop redirects to Findsee.com, SpywareRemove.com malware experts suggest that you use dedicated anti-malware software to delete any and all Findsee.com-promoting browser hijackers from your computer.

The Good and the Bad About What Was Found on Findsee.com

Although the accuracy of its results certainly can be said to be open to questioning, current reports on Findsee.com have failed to reveal anything about Findsee.com other than the fact that Findsee.com is a poorly-known search engine, there have been reports of Findsee.com previously being used for promoting potentially malicious content (specifically, drive-by-downloads and related browser exploits), but current indicators are that Findsee.com has cleaned up its act in recent months. However, caution should be taken around Findsee.com and links that Findsee.com promotes.

While content from Findsee.com is unlikely to be an immediate threat to your PC, there have been cases of browser hijackers using their attacks to promote Findsee.com. Such attacks may modify your browser's homepage, launch pop-ups for Findsee.com, redirect you when you try to use other search sites or even promote Findsee.com with text-embedded links. These attacks may or may not be confined to promoting Findsee.com; many browser hijackers will promote multiple sites, such as the very similar Udugg.com, Search3o.com, Hotfeed.net, Searchab.com and Websearch.just-browse.info.

Being Sure that What You See in Your Browser is What You Want to Find

Brief contact with Findsee.com shouldn't be considered any cause for panic, although, for safety's sake, you may wish to scan your PC with anti-malware software after unwarranted contact with Findsee.com-affiliated content. More importantly than that, SpywareRemove.com malware researchers do consider most browser hijackers, including browser hijackers that perform redirects to Findsee.com, to be a danger to your web-browsing experience and overall PC.

Redirects may or may not limit themselves to a particular brand of browser, but rarely can be stopped by deleting or altering any associated web-browsing programs. To guarantee that the source of Findsee.com redirects is removed, you should use anti-malware software to identify and delete the browser hijacker in question. As long as this is done expediently, your computer's state of security shouldn't suffer from any egregious violations.
