Posted: September 13, 2017

Websrch.net (also seen as Websearch.live) is a search engine, which might appear in your Web browser's settings even if you did not add it manually. This weird event may happen with the help of 3rd-party software that might be classified as a browser hijacker.However, browser hijackers are not threatening, and their sole purpose is to boost the traffic that certain websites receive. While these actions are not harmful, many users would consider them annoying certainly since it forces them to use a 3rd-party search engine, which they might not be used to.

The good news is that if you opt to use Websrch.net, you will not be that disappointed with the results you receive. By default, Websrch.net displays results exfiltrated from Google Search, but it also can be configured to display results provided by Bing.com. Regardless of the option you choose, you should keep in mind that the Websrch.net's functionality may change at any point, and the quality of the search results may decline suddenly if the owners opt to use a different, less reputable search provider. Some other clones of Websrch.net are:

Websearch.live/search, M.gsearch.io/search, Gosrch.co/search, M.ibrowser.io/search, Mysrch.net/search, Myportal.us/search, Iexplore.co/search, Mobisearch.co/search, Mbrowser.us/search, M.browsersearch.net/search, Portal.websrch.co/search

If you find out that your Web browser has been changed to redirect you to Websrch.net suddenly, then you might want to consider trying to identify and uninstall the browser add-on that caused the problem. Carrying out this task manually might not work out every time so that it is recommended to use a suitable cyber security application.
