Queryscan.com

Queryscan.com is a fraudulent website that promotes QueryScan Desktop Search, a seemingly-useful program that offers online search features. However, Queryscan.com's product is incapable of providing useful and unique search results; instead, Queryscan.com's fabled Desktop Search will expose you to advertisements and potentially-hostile websites. Because SpywareRemove.com malware analysts have found that Queryscan.com is also linked to browser-redirecting attacks, you should be aware of the possibility of infection, even if you visit Queryscan.com without installing its product. If your web browser is behaving in unusual ways, such as redirecting you to Queryscan.com, you shouldn't waste time in using a good anti-malware program to wipe out Queryscan.com's malicious program, before your PC can be damaged in other ways.

Revealing All of Queryscan.com's Search Engine Failings in a Lean Minute

Queryscan.com pretends to be a site that sells online search programs, but its real intent is to redirect visitors to advertisement-based websites and other sites that can send revenue straight back to Queryscan.com. This marketing scheme ignores the crucial factor that makes real search engines stand out – the ability to provide relevant search results – out of a preference for only putting up a pretense, until your PC is infected. Afterwards, it will not take you long to figure out that Queryscan.com's QueryScan Desktop Search is bad news, once you've seen websites like these:

• Scamware sites that sell fake registry cleaners and fake anti-virus programs. Many of these sites will also try to convince you that your computer is infected by Trojans, keyloggers and other types of serious PC threats so that you'll panic and install their fake product.
• Advertisement and commerce-based sites that have no useful content or content that's related to your search queries, aside from stuffed keywords and other search engine-related exploits.
• Sites that use phishing tactics to steal personal information – you should be particularly cautious around too-good-to-be-true scholarships, contests and surveys that offer prizes. Phishing attacks can steal e-mail addresses, account passwords and even online banking info.

Walking Away from Queryscan.com's Sick Idea of 'Helping' Your Searches

If you've installed QueryScan Desktop Search or think you've been infected by a Queryscan.com-related Trojan, you should eyeball your web browser for symptoms like the following:

• Redirects to Queryscan.com, particularly when you try to use a search engine site like Google.
• Search results that are filtered through Queryscan.com, even if you're using another website.
• Unusual browser settings such as having a proxy server enabled. If you don't disable and delete the Queryscan.com browser hijacker, Queryscan.com will prevent you from changing these settings back to normal (either by preventing any changes or by changing them back after you reboot).

Queryscan.com browser hijackers may also monitor your online activities to note which websites you visit and record other information based on your online habits. Despite these multifaceted functions, SpywareRemove.com malware experts have found that Queryscan.com infections can be deleted in the same way that a Qseach.com, Storeordersonline.com, Whatcarefreefeelslike.com or Globasearch.com browser hijacker can be expelled. A quick reboot to switch to Safe Mode and a scan of your PC with good anti-malware software will remove Queryscan.com's infection and leave your browser no worse for the wear.
