Bestzerch.com

Posted: February 27, 2019

Bestzerch.com is a trustworthy page, which hosts a simple search engine that can be used to search the Web through the Yahoo Search engine. In addition to the search field, the visitors of the Bestzerch.com also may notice a neat and small collection of bookmarks that lead to some of the most popular websites – Facebook, YouTube, LinkedIn, Twitter, Google+ and Wikipedia. In general, Bestzerch.com is a handy website, but seeing it in your Web browser regularly might mean that you have installed a browser hijacker or a Potentially Unwanted Program (PUP) recently. These applications do not pose a threat, but they may sometimes modify the settings of the Web browsers to promote particular websites like Bestzerch.com.

The software meant to promote this page may be distributed with the help of software bundles or misleading advertisements that urge the users to download a browser add-on that will supposedly enhance their browsing experience. However, the ‘enhancement’ consists of simply setting Bestzerch.com as the default new tab page and search aggregator. These changes are not something to be very worried about, but they may diminish the user’s Web browsing experience by forcing them to use a search engine that may display more advertisements than they are used to seeing.

If you suspect that an unwelcome piece of software has set Bestzerch.com as your default new tab page or search engine, then we suggest that you run a PC security tool to identify and remove the intruder.
