Posted: October 9, 2012

Searchwebresults.com Screenshot 1Searchwebresults.com calls itself only a 'premiere spot on the web' to search for other websites, but unlike popular alternatives, Searchwebresults.com displays results for the purpose of acquiring profit from traffic, rather than sorting its links according to how relevant they are to your search terms. Malware experts have also noted that Searchwebresults.com, like many sites that are cloned from the same template, benefits from browser-redirecting attacks that are caused by various PC threats. These browser hijackers should be considered malicious and an open danger to your computer's security until their removal by a suitable anti-malware product. Visiting Searchwebresults.com or searching for other sites with Searchwebresults.com, while inadvisable, has not been found to result in direct attacks against the relevant PCs – at least, not as of this point in time.

Searchwebresults.com and the Results You Will not Be Interested In Perusing

Searchwebresults.com will not make any mention of the other sites that are identical to Searchwebresults.com, but Searchwebresults.com's only purpose is to serve as a rebranded search site that displays the same results as search engines like FindSearchEngineResults.com, Expandsearchanswers.com, Find-fast-answers.com, Quick-search-results.com and Search-fast-results.com. Search results derived from Searchwebresults.com will offer advertisements, affiliate links and other destinations that aren't correlated with the ideal search results you'd find from a reputable search site. Any of the sites mentioned above should be considered just as ineffectual at searches as Searchwebresults.com (and vice versa).

SpywareRemove.com malware analysts also note that sites related to Searchwebresults.com may be hazardous to your computer, albeit due to a lack of security protocols rather than explicit intentions by Searchwebresults.com to attack your PC. Contact with Searchwebresults.com should be minimized if possible, and it's highly recommended that you use anti-malware software with web security features that can deflect drive-by-downloads and similar web-based attacks. Malicious sites that use drive-by-download exploits like Blacole remain one of the most prolific PC threats.

When Searchwebresults.com is Your Search Engine Whether You Like It or Not

Searchwebresults.com is also in use as a popular destination promoted by PC threats with browser-hijacking capabilities. These attacks redirect your browser to Searchwebresults.com or lock a default page setting onto Searchwebresults.com without your permission. Malware researchers also have found some evidence of these attacks being linked to Trojan botnets that may be used for other attacks and cause system instability for infected computers.

Redirects to Searchwebresults.com, similar sites or subdomains of Searchwebresults.com (such as click.searchwebresults.com) should be taken as a sign of a threat on your PC. Because redirects to Searchwebresults.com are a symptom of a general threat, you should avoid manual attempts to remove the source of Searchwebresults.com redirects. Instead, use anti-malware programs to scan your PC and remove all malware, including browser hijackers that are responsible for promoting Searchwebresults.com.
