Morsearch.com

Posted: October 4, 2011

Morsearch.com is a fraudulent website that falsely-presents itself as a search engine site that provides relevant search results. However, not only is Morsearch.com incapable of providing real search results, but SpywareRemove.com malware experts have also confirmed that Morsearch.com has been linked to browser hijackers that inflate Morsearch.com's own traffic. The most common sign of a Morsearch.com browser hijacker infection is being redirected to Morsearch.com after you click a search result link from an unrelated search engine. If these attacks happen to you, you should hasten to use the best anti-malware program that you can find to delete your Morsearch.com browser hijacker and any related infections that Morsearch.com may also have forced onto your PC.

The More You Search with Morsearch.com, the Worse Your PC Gets

Morsearch.com is, just like Zinkwink.com, Seeearch.com, Blinx.com or Wickedsearchsystem.com, a fake website that's used to redirect traffic to advertisements, phishing sites and scamware sites. Although Morsearch.com has the appearance of a normal search engine, Morsearch.com's results will never return anything that's relevant to your search requests and SpywareRemove.com malware experts strongly discourage you from trying to use Morsearch.com in the same way that you'd use a normal and trustworthy site.

Morsearch.com search results can contain but aren't restricted to the following types of malicious content:

  • Fake system scans that announce that infections are on your PC.
  • Websites that sell fake security software or other types of scamware.
  • Sites that try to phish or steal information by posing as legitimate sites or by pretending to offer surveys.
  • Advertisements that show misleading or irrelevant information, including fake prizes, sponsorships, contests or free gifts.
  • Sites that install malicious software without your consent. Flash and Java scripts are often utilized in these attacks; disabling them for untrustworthy sites may also help to protect your PC.

The Program Bully That Morsearch.com Uses to Bludgeon Your Browser Searches

Although Morsearch.com does exploit certain search engine algorithms to try to increase Morsearch.com's visibility, you're not likely to be a visitor on Morsearch.com's site until you've been attacked by a Morsearch.com browser hijacker. SpywareRemove.com malware research team has found that most Morsearch.com browser hijackers are bundled with other types of software and may or may not be mentioned (often in obtuse terms) in TOS contracts.

The popular trigger for a Morsearch.com browser hijack is when you try to click a link for another search site such as Google. This will cause the browser hijacker to redirect you to Morsearch.com or to a Morsearch.com-powered result. If these attacks occur, your PC has already been infected, and you should take steps to re-secure your computer. SpywareRemove.com malware analysts recommend that you delete Morsearch.com's software by using anti-malware products, preferably in combination with a Safe Mode reboot.
