Tasearch.com

Tasearch.com is associated with a PUP (Potentially Unwanted Application) that installs as a low-level search engine provider, pretending to enhance users' browsing experience. Typically, unwanted applications are known to invade computers without users' notice as they often come bundled with other free programs or shareware in a pay-per-install based bundle. Once installed, PUPs start altering main browser settings. For example, when infected with a PUP associated with Tasearch.com users may notice that their homepage has changed, new tabs might open suddenly, and their default search engine is switched to Tasearch.com. Low-level search engines such as Tasearch.com are capable of displaying manipulated search results and thus redirect users to possibly infected websites that might attract more infections. Moreover, PUPs such as Tasearch.com may cause the display of many unwanted commercial ads that also might lead to potentially harmful domains.
