Search.startbrowser.io

Search.startbrowser.io is a Web page, which hosts a basic search engine and has an interface similar to the one used by Websrch.mobi, a website that malware researchers have determined to be associated with browser hijacking software. The situation with Search.startbrowser.io is not much different, and we have reasons to believe that a dubious browser add-on might be meant to set this website as the default new tab page, homepage or search aggregator for the users of Google Chrome, Mozilla Firefox and Internet Explorer. The behavior of the Search.startbrowser.io hijacker is not unsafe, but it is certainly an unpleasant thing to have it on your computer since it forces you to use a dubious page that might not be reliable for much longer.

All searches started through Search.startbrowser.io redirect the user to a results page hosted by Bing.com so that it is safe to say that the current state of Search.startbrowser.io allows it to deliver credible search results to its users. However, since Search.startbrowser.io is not affiliated with a legitimate company or software tool, it is very likely that this page's behavior might change soon.

If you see Search.startbrowser.io whenever you start your browser or open a new tab regularly, then it is almost certain that you have installed a browser hijacker that caused this annoying issue recently. The good news is that this situation is relatively easy to resolve – you just need to run a trustworthy PC security scanner that will identify and remove the browser hijacker's files automatically. Once this is done, your browser's settings should be reverted to normal.
