Websearch.searchesplace.info

Posted: August 5, 2013

Websearch.searchesplace.info is a pseudo-search site that doesn't have any search functions of its own, but redirects any searches towards a sub-domain of Smartshopping.com. Like similar Websearch sites, Websearch.searchesplace.info is not necessarily a danger to your computer but may redirect you to sites that provide inaccurate or potentially hazardous search results, and SpywareRemove.com malware experts particularly associated Websearch.searchesplace.info with Potentially Unwanted Programs that may force your browser to load the site without your consent. In any scenario where your browser redirects to Websearch.searchesplace.info automatically, you should use anti-malware software to delete all related PC threats – while taking a reasonable amount of care not to be exposed to potentially dangerous Web content through the additional sites promoted by Websearch.searchesplace.info.

When the Web's Places Come Searching for You Instead of the Other Way Around

Websearch.searchesplace.info is one of a large number of search sites that redirect any visitors to legitimate search engines with questionable reputations. While not directly associated with malware, Websearch.searchesplace.info hijacks and redirects often are related to the presence of a Potentially Unwanted Program (such as Search Assistance WebSearch) that is marketed as an add-on for your browser. SpywareRemove.com malware researchers also can easily show evidence of clones of Websearch.searchesplace.info that are used for similar purposes, such as Websearch.pur-esult.info, WebSearch.Searchboxes.info, Websearch.greatresults.info, Websearch.searchmainia.info, Websearch.homesearch-hub.info and Websearch.a-searchpage.info.

Ultimately, Websearch.searchesplace.info has no purpose beyond redirecting visitors to secondary sites like Smartshopping.com, which can offer legitimate search results, but also may insert sponsored links or other irrelevant content. Currently, SpywareRemove.com malware researchers are, at least, thankful that there aren't any signs of Websearch.searchesplace.info promoting malicious Web content that would attack your PC directly.

Getting Your Browser to the Places You Want without Websearch.searchesplace.info Giving Its Own Opinions in the Matter

Because Websearch.searchesplace.info doesn't have any marketing worth speaking of, any chance contact with Websearch.searchesplace.info usually will be forced by browser add-ons and toolbars that tend to be categorized as PUPs or, in severe cases, browser hijackers or adware. SpywareRemove.com malware researchers suggest removing Websearch.searchesplace.info-promoting software from your PC with anti-malware tools that can be certain of deleting all unwanted browser modifications – especially since redirects to Websearch.searchesplace.info may be used along with other changes that make your browser less secure than usual.

PUPs, toolbars and similar programs that redirect your browser to Websearch.searchesplace.info can be distributed through misleading or non-consensual methods, most commonly including bundled installers that install browser-specific programs along with unrelated software. SpywareRemove.com malware researchers usually find that the simple act of paying careful attention to any options presented during the installation process will give you an opportunity to avoid unwanted toolbars like those that promoted Websearch.searchesplace.info and other Websearch domains. However, in some cases, you may require anti-malware software to block drive-by-downloads that seek to install Websearch.searchesplace.info hijackers and related PC threats without your permission entirely.
