What causes Landdays.xyz redirects
I first noticed Landdays.xyz when looking at an old website, Cheetasearch.com. It’s a new tab replacer – a website that helps hijack web browsers and their internet traffic. These sites are used by malicious actors and dishonest advertisers to spy on people, force them to visit affiliated websites, and show them ads.
Landdays.xyz might also be displayed by Playbar.biz, as well as Secure-finder.org, Securesurf.biz, Web-start.org, etc. These sites might all be considered to be browser hijackers:
- The way they spread is dishonest and can result in accidental or unintentional installations.
- Their features are often lacking.
- They track user data and display ads. This seems to be their main purpose.
The websites that lead to Landdays.xyz are usually associated with a browser add-on or an application. For instance, you might install a browser extension to help you watch movies online – and suddenly find that your home page looks different. Too many apps and add-ons use deceptive advertisements to sneak on PCs.
Landdays.xyz serves as the stop between these hijacker sites and Mybrowser-search.com. It opens Mybrowser-search.com, which then displays web search results.
Problems caused by browser hijackers
Landdays.xyz manipulates your internet search results. It redirects to Mybrowser-search.com now, but that could change at any time. For instance, Landdays.xyz could check your search query and open a relevant advertisement. It can do whatever its operators want. It having this sort of power over your internet browsing experience is potentialy dangerous.
There’s also a problem with privacy. If Landdays.xyz participates in your web searches, it might be able to see your search queries. Search queries can include a lot of private information, so it’s good to keep the number of sites that can see it to a minimum. Normally, only I and my search engine (Google, Bing, etc.) can see what I search for. But with Landdays.xyz, it’s it, Mybrowser-search.com, and your home page – all controlled by companies that are shadier than Google or Microsoft.
How to stop Landdays.xyz redirects

If you know the date on which your internet searches started behaving strangely and when Landdays.xyz started popping up, focus on that date. See what files you have downloaded and what apps you have installed at around that time. Remove suspicious programs and browser extensions. if you aren’t sure about an add-on, you can disable it and see if that makes the Landdays.xyz redirects stop.
You might find anti-malware programs helpful. Use Spyhunter for Windows, Combo Cleaner for macOS, or other programs to scan your computer and see if any potentially unwanted or even malicious programs are found.
Finally, review the settings of your web browsers – make sure that your default search engine, new tab page, and home page settings are all the way you want them to be.
