Securesearch.co

Posted: April 21, 2016

Securesearch.co is an untrustworthy search provider that has been created to generate consistent incoming Web traffic towards partner Web pages. This questionable platform is associated with a rather aggressive browser hijacker that may change the settings of Google Chrome, Mozilla Firefox and Internet Explorer automatically. If you get infected with Securesearch.co, it may become your homepage automatically. Securesearch.co also may replace your default search provider, which means that whenever you initiate a search by typing your terms in the address bar, the results will come from Securesearch.co. The suspicious extension may rely on various stealthy methods to enter. Most commonly, you may load the browser hijacker when you install freeware bundles and click on the 'I agree' button without reading the details. Luckily, if you perform the setup operation via the 'Advanced' or 'Custom' menu, you can prevent the loading of all unwanted components of the software bundle easily. The browser hijacker also may be installed in silence by another cyber threat. The developers of Securesearch.co have found a valid HTTPS certificate, but you should still think twice before using their engine. Securesearch.co itself is not threatening. The problem is that nothing can guarantee that all of its partner sites also are safe. In some cases, the sponsored links may open potentially harmful domains. You may find yourself on Web pages that contain threatening software or try to take money from their visitors via various online tactics. The irony here is that the administrators of Securesearch.co promise to guarantee your safety in the cyberspace. You should download a professional security application and use it to delete the browser hijacker that may cause the redirections to this suspicious search platform.
