Survey.[RANDOM NUMBER].ws

Survey.[RANDOM NUMBER].ws are a series of domains that may be used to host fake search engines, promotions, or other information that is either irrelevant or misleading. There are thousands of websites of this sort on the Web, but the case with Survey.[RANDOM NUMBER].ws is slightly different because these domains are linked to more than just useless content – they also are promoted by browser hijackers that may have a negative impact on the user's browsing experience.

The browser hijackers linked to Survey.[RANDOM NUMBER].ws may be propagated as Web browser extensions that may claim to improve the browser's functionality and performance, in addition to providing the user with access to various interesting features and extras. However, what these extensions may do is to modify the browser's configuration so that it redirects users to Survey.[RANDOM NUMBER].ws when they perform specific actions like searching the Web, loading their homepage, or simply opening a new tab. It is important not to confuse browser hijackers with threats because the former is not considered to be a threatening application. Despite their rather suspicious name, browser hijackers are not harmful, and the worst they can do is annoy you by redirecting you to Web pages that you don't want to visit.

As the name suggests, users who stumble upon Survey.[RANDOM NUMBER].ws may be asked to complete a survey to gain access to the content this page promotes. We advise users not to participate in low-quality and unreputable surveys since they may often ask for information that may be provided to 3rd-party companies for marketing purposes or similar reasons. If you see a Survey.[RANDOM NUMBER].ws page while using your Web browser regularly, then it is strongly recommended to run a full anti-malware scan that can get rid of any suspicious software that may be linked to the Survey.[RANDOM NUMBER].ws browser hijacker.
