Posted: March 9, 2020

Vitosc.xyz is a basic search engine that appears to provide results by using the search services offered by QIP.RU. There is nothing shady about this, considering that QIP is one of the most popular search aggregators in Russia. However, a quick Web search about Vitosc.xyz reveals multiple complaints from users who state that they see this website whenever they use their Web browser, even though they had never visited it before. This is likely to be owed to the fact that Vitosc.xyz is being promoted with the help of Potentially Unwanted Programs (PUPs) that are installed as add-ons for your favorite Web browser. These add-ons do not serve any helpful purpose and, instead, they are meant to set Vitosc.xyz as your default new tab page or search engine, therefore ensuring that you will generate a lot of traffic for this website.

If you get redirected to Vitosc.xyz whenever you load a new tab in your Web browser, then we advise you to try to find the source of the problem as soon as you can. While such behavior is not a security concern, it may make your Web browsing sessions less enjoyable. The easiest way to identify and remove the PUP that brought Vitosc.xyz to your attention is to run an up-to-date PC security utility.
