Lessearch.net

Lessearch.net is a search engine website that's promoted by browser-redirecting PC threats (often known as browser hijackers or, more colloquially than that title, Google Redirect Viruses). Although Lessearch.net does look like a search engine and even presents an organized list of links for your perusal, SpywareRemove.com malware experts discourage anything other than avoiding Lessearch.net due to its presence on domain lists for malicious software and phishing attacks. Contact with Lessearch.net or sites that are promoted by Lessearch.net may result in PC threats being installed onto your computer without your permission, although this risk can be alleviated by using careful browser security. If you've visited Lessearch.net or notice signs of browser hijackers that promote Lessearch.net, you should immediately scan your computer to disinfect any PC threats associated with Lessearch.net and its unpalatable marketing tactics.

Lessearch.net – a Search Engine with Fewer Search Functions for Your Time Than Any Reputable Alternative

Lessearch.net's superficial characteristics make it look like a search engine, but Lessearch.net's actual functions aren't so much about searching the web as they are about providing you with predetermined results – in some cases, results that can be a definitive threat to your PC. SpywareRemove.com malware research team has noted that Lessearch.net and similar sites are often utilized to promote rogue anti-malware products, although the possibility of other PC threats (such as spyware or adware) is also open. Lessearch.net may display websites that show fake alerts or inaccurate system scans to encourage you to download rogue security software, or Lessearch.net may simply use browser exploits to install malicious software automatically.

Inadvertent visits to Lessearch.net and equivalent sites can be made slightly safer by using browser settings that disable exploitable features, such as Java and Flash, although SpywareRemove.com malware experts also note that scanning your PC after any contact with Lessearch.net is still a good idea. Although Lessearch.net may include legitimate results in-between its malicious ones, in general, you should never trust links from a site like Lessearch.net that's been noted to assist in the propagation of PC threats.

Reacting to a Lessearch.net-Based Web Browser Takeover

Along with its personally negative traits, Lessearch.net is also worth mentioning for its indirect association with browser hijackers that redirect your web browser to Lessearch.net. Such redirects may take several forms, including:

• Changing your homepage to Lessearch.net.
• Forcing you to use Lessearch.net instead of other search engines.
• Loading Lessearch.net at random intervals.

SpywareRemove.com malware analysts have also observed that many browser hijackers that promote Lessearch.net will also promote similar types of suspicious search sites, such as Supsearch.net, Supersearchport.net, Basic-search.net, Macsearch.net, Clipssearch.net, Lightssearch.net and Cutsearch.net. Browser hijackers may be installed in browser-specific formats, but in most cases, browser hijackers utilize basic system changes that can attack all types of web browsers. No matter what kind of Lessearch.net-loving browser hijacker you may have, SpywareRemove.com malware researchers recommend that you remove the problem with a scan by qualified anti-malware software.
