Posted: September 5, 2013

Visualbee.delta-search.com Screenshot 1Visualbee.delta-search.com is a Yahoo-powered search sub-domain of Delta-search.com, a site that's a popular destination for browser hijackers. Since Visualbee.delta-search.com's search results are pulled from Yahoo, SpywareRemove.com malware experts rate them as no more dangerous than Yahoo's own search engine, but any PC threat that forces your browser to redirect to Visualbee.delta-search.com should be treated as a danger to your computer. Variants of Delta Search Toolbar are the most prominent means of being subject to redirects to Visualbee.delta-search.com, and can, like most Potentially Unwanted Programs, be avoided with a little attention towards what programs you choose to install. However, removing Visualbee.delta-search.com-redirecting PC threats usually will require you to use generalized anti-malware scans from an appropriate software.

Don't 'Bee' Surprised When Your Browser's Visuals Convert to Visualbee.delta-search.com

Visualbee.delta-search.com is a search engine-specific section of Delta-search.com that provides search results based on Yahoo's own searches. While SpywareRemove.com malware research team has, so far, not noticed any tampering with these results on Visualbee.delta-search.com's part, nor can they recommend using Visualbee.delta-search.com over Yahoo or other reputable search sites that aren't connected with PUPs. Symptoms of a Visualbee.delta-search.com-redirecting PC threat like the Delta Search Toolbar usually include:

  • Browser redirects to Visualbee.delta-search.com whenever you try to load another search engine.
  • Homepage hijacks that lock Visualbee.delta-search.com or another Delta-search.com-related destination as your browser's starting page.
  • Changing which browser is your default for browsing the Web.
  • The partial or total deletion of a Web browser's bookmarks.
  • General Web-browsing performance issues.

Visualbee.delta-search.com hijackers often are installed in formats that may affect several types of browsers. However, at this time, SpywareRemove.com malware experts only can confirm these issues for Windows PCs. These issues have been particularly prolific as of mid-2013, and the PC threats responsible for Visualbee.delta-search.com redirects most likely are in active distribution in the wild through common sources such as freeware sites.

Playing the Omega to a Delta Search-Based Browser Problem

Browser redirects that take place – whether they're accomplished through distinct toolbars like the Delta Search Toolbar or through a concealed format of Visualbee.delta-search.com hijacker – always should be considered undesirable and potentially dangerous for your browser. However, as long as you respond to these attacks with appropriate anti-malware solutions, any contact with Visualbee.delta-search.com in the meantime should not necessarily be dangerous.

Potentially Unwanted Programs that redirect you to Visualbee.delta-search.com and similar sites often are connected to Conduit-based browser add-ons, and may use the same distribution vectors that are favored by Conduit. Refusing download links that come from suspicious or unverified sources, keeping away from software piracy-related sites and being careful about looking at any optional installation features all are useful for preventing your browser from being the next to be taken to Visualbee.delta-search.com and other equally-pointless search sites.
