Searchencrypt.navigateto.net

Posted: May 18, 2017

Searchencrypt.navigateto.net (also hosted on Searchencrypt.com) is a search engine that promises to provide users with an anonymous search page, which will not reveal their information and search queries to marketing companies, therefore reducing the number of ads that users might encounter while browsing online. While services like these are deemed to be useful, some users might start noticing either of these pages in their Web browser although they don't remember ever visiting them or adding them to their Web browser's default settings. Despite this, some users might experience this change when they install a piece of software known as a browser hijacker and, as the name suggests, the purpose of these programs is to hijack a Web browser's settings so that it will redirect users to specific pages such as Searchencrypt.navigateto.net.

The good news is that software of this sort is not unsafe and, in the case of Searchencrypt.navigateto.net, there is nothing users should worry about. In fact, both Searchencrypt.navigateto.net and Searchencrypt.com appear to work as expected, and they bestow users with the ability to run their search queries through all popular search aggregators – Yahoo, Google and Bing.

Removing Searchencrypt.navigateto.net from your Web browser is not mandatory, but if you wish to do that, then there are two ways to approach the problem. Number one is to take a look at the list of installed browser extensions to find out if there is a browser hijacking add-on that may have brought Searchencrypt.navigateto.net to your Web client's settings. If this does not work, then an automatic threat removal tool should be able to deal with the browser hijacker in question quickly.
