Webdigger.net

Webdigger.net is a website which hosts a simple search engine, and a 'Contact' page which reveals that this domain belongs to Green Line LTD, a company that does not appear to have an official website or other products directly linked to it. Considering the company's unknown reputation and the fact that Webdigger.net is not a popular page should mean that this website doesn't get much traffic, but it appears that its owners are relying on dubious methods in order to lure more users to this page. They achieve this by using browser hijacking software whose purpose is to inject Webdigger.net in the settings of popular web browsers, therefore setting it as the default search aggregator, homepage, or new tab page. While these changes are not dangerous, there are certainly annoying and most users would like to revert them as soon as possible. What makes it even more annoying is the fact that Webdigger.net does not work properly, and its search feature does not deliver any results.

The installation of the Webdigger.net hijacker might occur without the user's knowledge since it is likely that the dubious application might be bundled with 3rd-party software which will use basic social engineering tricks to get users to authorize the hijacker's installation.

If you regularly see Webdigger.net in your browser you and you did not intentionally add this domain to your browser's configuration, then you are probably looking for a way to resolve this issue. Since the Webdigger.net hijacker might use various names to disguise itself, the best way to dispose of it is to use a credible PC security product that will scan the system and eradicate intrusive software.
