About Search.searchsolod.com browser hijacker

It operates as browser add-on that can be added to all most common web browsers, including Mozilla Firefox, Google Chrome, Internet Explorer, Microsoft Edge or even Safari. That means apple users can get infected as well.

Once inside of a computer Search.searchsolod.com will change some settings on all of those web browsers, such as homepage or default search engine. It will be set to www.search.searchsolod.com so every time you open a web browser, this website will appear instead of your regular homepage.

Search.searchsolod.com is trying to create an image of legitimate and advanced search engine that provide users with the ability to search the web faster and more efficiently. However, it is not true and you should not believe that.

If you search for something using Search.searchsolod.com you will notice a lot of sponsored results. The problem is that those results usually are not relevant to your search queries so you will waste your time this way. In addition to that, we do not recommend to click on any of them.

If it happens so that you click on a sponsored result on Search.searchsolod.com you will be redirected to other websites that might be owned by various cyber criminals, such as hackers or scammers. This way your computer can get infected with other viruses or if you attempt to purchase something there you can even get scammed and lose your hard earned money.

It appears that Search.searchsolod.com also has some attributes of adware infection as well. It will flood your web browsers with ads of various forms, such as pop-up, pop-under, in-text, banner or contextual advertisements. New tab or even window with ads on it can be opened at any time as well.

Search.searchsolod.com might also collect your personal information, such as browsing history, search queries, most visited sites or even your IP and email addresses. They adjust those ads according to collected data and make them even more relevant and attractive to you this way, so chances that you will click on one of them rise. And that’s the main goal of Search.searchsolod.com because they get paid for every click you make.
