Searchpig.net

Searchpig.net is a search site that provides results of questionable accuracy, as well as being promoted by browser-based attacks from PC threats such as an archetypal browser hijacker. While Searchpig.net isn't included in any major blacklists, and SpywareRemove.com malware experts haven't confirmed any cases of Searchpig.net promoting online PC threats, links from Searchpig.net are unlikely to match well with your search queries and may be hazardous to your machine. If you have any evidence of a Searchpig.net-related infection, such as your browser being redirected to Searchpig.net automatically, you can use appropriate anti-malware tools to remove the associated malware and settings changes that are used to force you to load Searchpig.net.

Wherein Your Traffic is the Truffle that Searchpig.net Craves

Search sites are amazingly prolific throughout the Internet, but Searchpig.net, sadly, doesn't give many reasons for you to use its search-related services. Besides presenting a generalized database of broad-interest links, Searchpig.net also provides a search engine. Searchpig.net also hasn't been found to include the kinds of overtly malicious links that are used to promote online exploit kits, phishing attacks, rogue anti-malware programs or other PC threats.

While Searchpig.net would love you to rummage around the web through its own search services, Searchpig.net doesn't seem to rely solely on its inherent marketability for acquiring its traffic. There have been reports of some incidents of browser-related attacks that either redirect the affected browser to Searchpig.net or lock its default pages (such as the ever-useful homepage) to Searchpig.net. Regardless of the specific symptoms, the presence of malicious software that promotes Searchpig.net always should be taken as hostile to your PC's operational safety.

Making Bacon of a Searchpig.net Redirect Problem

If your browser redirects to Searchpig.net, shows Searchpig.net when first opening or displays any of the other obvious symptoms of a browser hijacker promoting Searchpig.net, your computer should be considered compromised by at least one, if not multiple PC threats. Low-level PC threats like the browser hijackers that exist to promote Searchpig.net usually are installed through bundles with other free programs – as opposed to the drive-by-downloads and other advanced exploits that SpywareRemove.com malware experts have seen in action with the infection vectors of high-level threats (like banking Trojans or TDSS rootkits).

To be certain of deleting all of the browser changes that force your browser to load Searchpig.net, SpywareRemove.com malware researchers encourage the usage of appropriate brands of anti-malware software. Browser hijackers linked to Searchpig.net may be a recent occurrence, but similar PC threats may easily be reconfigured to promote Searchpig.net in lieu of (or in addition to) other sites. However, almost any competent anti-malware application should be capable of detecting Searchpig.net-redirecting PC threats heuristically and removing them without any meaningful trouble.
