Searchusatoday.com

Posted: January 26, 2017

Searchusatoday.com is a dysfunctional search engine that also is associated with several other domain names – 1MSearch.com and Globalfindclick.com. Both of these Web destinations feature the same page, which provides visitors with access to a search service that does not work at all. When users enter a search query and press the 'Search' button, the website does not yield any results and, instead, reloads the page again and again so that some of you may be wondering why someone would use Searchusatoday.com if this website does not work as expected? The truth is that few people would prefer to use a 3rd-party search aggregator when they have reputable services like Bing, Yahoo, and Google at their disposal. However, some search engine authors, like the ones behind Searchusatoday.com, may rely on browser hijackers to promote their pages and attract thousands of new visitors by utilizing some dirty tricks.

The browser hijackers linked to Searchusatoday.com may often be installed alongside legitimate freeware and shareware programs by users who authorize the hijacker's installation mistakenly. When this happens, the user's default Web browser might have its settings modified so that it will redirect them to Searchusatoday.com whenever they perform certain actions like opening a new tab, loading their homepage, or initiating a Web search. At the time of writing this article, Searchusatoday.com does not appear to host any other content so that visitors should not notice any ads or something of this sort. However, this may change in the future, and unreliable search services that bombard you with ads are not something you want to use.

If the Searchusatoday.com page shows up in your Web browser regularly, then you need to take action and identify the intrusive application responsible for this odd behavior. Although manual removal of browser hijackers is not impossible, we advise users affected by this issue to run an anti-malware scanner because it may save them a lot of time when it comes to removing the hijacker.
