Thesearchweb.net

Posted: March 7, 2017

Thesearchweb.net is a search engine that shares the same design and features as Urmare.ro. However, both domain names point to different IP addresses so that it is clear that the pages don't share the same hosting account and, therefore, might belong to different owners. Just like it's alternative version, Thesearchweb.net also relies on browser hijacking software to attract more visitors. Thesearchweb.net browser hijackers may be spread via various software propagation techniques, and they may sometimes use deceptive instructions and messages to trick users into authorizing their installation. When the hijacker in question is installed, it may introduce some small changes such as changing the default Web browser's new tab page or homepage to Thesearchweb.net. This way, the hijacker ensures that Thesearchweb.net will get a steady influx of new users and daily traffic, therefore improving its relevancy and giving its owners a better way to monetize their page.

Talking of monetization, this seems to be the purpose of Thesearchweb.net as it hosts some advertisements and sponsored links that may lead users to promotional offers associated with gaming, the automotive industry, and various other products. The pages that Thesearchweb.net promotes don't seem suspicious, but there's no way to guarantee that their content will not change soon so that it is recommended to steer away from the marketing content spotted on Thesearchweb.net. The good news is that Thesearchweb.net features a working search field so that, at least, users will be able to use its search feature. In fact, Thesearchweb.net appears to borrow the Google's SERP (search engine results page), which means that the relevancy of the search results should be excellent.

If you notice Thesearchweb.net in your Web browser on a regular basis, then you should know that the likely cause for this is that you recently opted to install a browser hijacker. Naturally, it is recommended to remove the intrusive application, as well as to restore your Web browser's settings back to normal. The first stage of the task can be carried out with the help of a cyber security tool, while the latter stage should be completed manually by using your Web browser's settings panel.
