Posted: October 14, 2013

Websearch.searchere.info is a search-redirecting website that uses Bing to power its search results without providing any kind of original content. While searching the Web with Websearch.searchere.info is no more threatening than searching it with Microsoft's Bing, malware analysts have found some evidence of search engine-hijacking PC threats promoting Websearch.searchere.info by unsafe browser modifications. These modifications, which force Websearch.searchere.info to load without your permission, always should be considered potential security risks, and it's suggested that you use anti-malware applications to remove Websearch.searchere.info hijackers whenever their attacks are spotted.

'Ere You Go to Websearch... Again and Again

There have been numerous cases of 'Websearch' sites for a wide range of domains used as generalized search-redirecting portals to other search sites, with Websearch.searchere.info as one of the latest examples for the family. Websearch sites, including Websearch.searchere.info, don't redirect you to unreliable content intentionally, but sometimes may promote search engines that aren't necessarily strict about filtering potentially harmful sites. Currently, Websearch.searchere.info redirects to Bing, although other sites of this family have been known to promote everything from Google to Localmoxie.com.

What malware researchers are most interested in with respect to Websearch.searchere.info and its fellow sites is their tendency to be promoted by search-hijacking attacks. Search engine hijackers may be bundled with other applications, installed by Trojans or distributed as fake software updates, and often are a hallmark of potentially harmful browser toolbars. These browser hijackers change your browser to redirect to Websearch.searchere.info from your default search engine and, based on all current evidence, are more than happy to ignore your real search settings to do so.

Searching Where You Want Instead of Where Websearch.searchere.info's Hijacker Wants

Websearch.searchere.info, Websearch.searchthere.info, Websearch.oversearch.info, Websearch.simplesearches.info, Websearch.searchesplace.info, Websearch.pu-result.info, Websearch.greatresults.info and all similar 'Websearch' sites usually are not very significant security hazards. On the other hand, neither is there any reason to visit them, and SpywareRemove.com malware researchers recommend treating any PC threat that redirects you to the above sites as a suspicious program to be deleted without any hesitation.

Since Websearch.searchere.info hijackers tend to be installed without your permission and attempt to keep their files concealed to prevent you from deleting them, removing Websearch.searchere.info hijackers always should use anti-malware equipment when such software is available. Anti-malware products that are updated and competent enough to delete all components of a Websearch.searchere.info hijacker also should be able to remove all symptoms of redirects caused by these PC threats.

Malware experts also remind readers that your brand of Web browser isn't a protection against Websearch.searchere.info hijackers and other Websearch-based PC threats, which have been observed attacking several types of browsers with equal gay abandon. By default, popular browsers like Firefox, Internet Explorer and Chrome should be considered especially likely to be targeted by Websearch.searchere.info hijacks.
