Bazzsearch.com is a low-quality search engine which might be automatically set as your web browser's default new tab page or homepage without your approval. While this change might seem unwelcome and rather shady, the good news is that the software responsible for this is very unlikely to be malicious. Usually, changes like these happen when users install a potentially unwanted program (PUP) or hijacker which might use simple tricks and misleading instructions in order to get their authorization to tamper with the web browser's default settings.

Bazzsearch.com's landing page does not offer anything apart from a cool-looking background and a simple search feature which runs all search queries through Yahoo Search. While the results that Bazzsearch.com provides are reliable at this point, there's a significant chance that the quality of the search results may degrade in the future if the owner decides to use an alternative search algorithm.

If you suddenly start seeing Bazzsearch.com whenever you use your web browser, then you might want to resolve this minor annoyance in order to restore your browser's previous configuration. The best way to ensure that Bazzsearch.com is gone from your browser for good is to identify and uninstall the PUP or hijacker responsible for the issue. Since this task is difficult to accomplish manually, you might want to take care of it with the assistance of a suitable PC security scanner.
