Dts.search-results.com

Dts.search-results.com is a search engine site that borrows its results from other search engines (such as Google and Ask.com). Even though SpywareRemove.com malware analysts haven't seen any cases of Dts.search-results.com intentionally promoting PC threats of any stripe, they have seen instances where browser hijackers and similar types of malware have promoted Dts.search-results.com. In the process of doing so, they may incidentally block you from using any alternative sites, regardless of what your browser's settings happen to be. Browser redirects to Dts.search-results.com or other attacks related to Dts.search-results.com always should be treated by appropriate anti-malware applications, which can remove the underlying malware that's causing these symptoms.

Dts.search-results.com: Where Your Searches Go Without Asking for Your Permission

Essentially indistinguishable from other types of lesser-known search engines, Dts.search-results.com displays results that are, by and large, borrowed from other websites and should not be considered a major danger to your computer. Where the actual danger related to Dts.search-results.com comes from is in its promotion by browser-hijacking PC threats, which modify your web-browsing settings and redirect you to Dts.search-results.com automatically.

Typical attacks promoting Dts.search-results.com will lock your default search engine to Dts.search-results.com, causing you to visit Dts.search-results.com whenever you perform a standard search (such as via your browser's search toolbar). Other examples of redirects to Dts.search-results.com include redirects to Dts.search-results.com when victims try to navigate to incomplete URLs (such as web addresses that omit the domain suffix) or redirects to Dts.search-results.com upon loading your browser's homepage.

In all instances, redirects to Dts.search-results.com can't be resolved by changing your browser's settings. Changing your actual browser may allow you to avoid Dts.search-results.com redirects but will not remove the affiliated PC threat from your computer and isn't recommended for a permanent solution. Because browser hijackers often include browser changes that reduce your web-browsing safety by disabling security features, SpywareRemove.com malware research team urges you to remove them quickly, even if you don't suffer any type of immediate harm from visiting Dts.search-results.com.
