Searchwebway3.com

Posted: June 4, 2012

Searchwebway3.com Screenshot 1Just another one of many dime-a-dozen search engines, Searchwebway3.com offers you the same online-searching capabilities that you would expect from any similar website. What sets Searchwebway3.com apart from popular search engines is its popularity amongst browser hijackers that force your searches to go through Searchwebway3.com even if you'd rather they not do so. Searchwebway3.com shows no signs of overt hostility in its content, but still recommend deleting Searchwebway3.com-related browser hijackers quickly, since such PC threats can also be responsible for other attacks against your computer – up to and including theft of bank account information or the promotion of rogue security programs.

Why the Searchwebway3.com Site Can Become Your One Way to Search the Web

Searchwebway3.com isn't guaranteed to have the same types of exhaustive website-sorting and security features that popular search engines are known for using, but, as of the time of this writing, contact with Searchwebway3.com has been rated to be more or less safe for your PC. However, the browser hijacks that promote Searchwebway3.com via separate PC threats should always be considered a sign of hazardous software on your computer, and can be identified by symptoms such as:

  • Having your browser load Searchwebway3.com when you attempt to use a completely different type of search engine. SpywareRemove.com malware research team reminds that this includes both initial attempts to navigate to a site (such as Google) and attempts to follow-through on searches by clicking the links within your search results.
  • Having your homepage or default new tab page set to Searchwebway3.com.
  • Non-redirect forms of browser-hijacking attacks such as pop-up advertisements or e-commerce links that are placed in text content in the form of unwanted links.

Even though Searchwebway3.com isn't likely to cause harm to your computer, hostile software that uses redirect attacks to promote Searchwebway3.com should always be considered a serious risk to your PC's safety. SpywareRemove.com malware experts discourage attempts to remove a Searchwebway3.com-affiliated browser hijacker without appropriate security software or help from a PC security professional, since many browser hijackers change operating system settings that can damage your OS if they're removed improperly.

Ousting Your Redirect Virus in the Contention Between Searchwebway3.com and Your Browser

Browser hijackers or search engine redirect viruses that promote Searchwebway3.com and similar sites often, but not always include other attacks that may cause extra forms of harm to your PC. Some other attacks that may be going on behind the scenes of a series of Searchwebway3.com redirects include attempts to steal personal information, attempts to disable your security software or attempts to install other types of PC threats. Quick action to scan your PC is, therefore, always recommended if you begin to see redirects to Searchwebway3.com or other sites that trigger without an obvious and safely-explainable cause.

Depending on the variant of Searchwebway3.com-promoting browser hijacker that infects your PC, you may find that redirects to Searchwebway3.com trigger in all browsers or just a particular type of browser. The former case should be considered slightly more urgent given that SpywareRemove.com malware researchers have often found such attacks to modify Windows files, while the latter typically limits its structure to that of a simple add-on or toolbar that is relatively self-contained. However, all types of browser hijackers should always be removed quickly and thoroughly, regardless of their exact structure.
