Posted: April 20, 2016

Piesearch.com is a suspicious and unreliable search provider that you should not use. Piesearch.com relies on different approaches to transfer you towards its partner pages. The developers of Piesearch.com are responsible for the creation of a harmful add-on, which may hijack the browser of less attentive PC users. If Piesearch.com enters your system, it may make its dubious search platform your homepage automatically. Piesearch.com may rely on stealthy and misleading tactics to enter without informing the user adequately. This add-on may sneak in when the user downloads freeware from unverified sources and installs it without paying close attention to the details. PC users should use the 'Custom' installation path because it typically shows a list of all components in the bundle. This way, the computer users can uncheck the apps they don't wish to load. If you didn't install any new software before Piesearch.com became your homepage, then you should scan your system immediately because some vulnerabilities could have led to a more serious infection. Piesearch.com is not very different from a legitimate search engine in terms of the site layout. You may notice the well-known buttons that should let you find news articles, videos, maps, online games and images. The problems that may be caused by this page may begin only after you initiate a search. Piesearch.com relies on the Bing's database but only for a small portion of the displayed results. The other part consists of sponsored links that will take you towards affiliated third-party domains. These ads may appear in the front positions. You should not click on the ads exhibited by Piesearch.com for security reasons – some of the sponsored platforms may be involved in misleading schemes. To delete the browser hijacker behind Piesearch.com, you should use a powerful security tool.
