Searchbee.net demonstrates tendencies that are typical for browser hijackers to possess. The search engine is proclaimed to be an extremely powerful platform that requires minimum waiting time until users are pleased to see the results. Elegant style and relevant URLs are also proclaimed as one of the pros of this search engine. As we have already examined this search engine, we do know that it the generated outcomes are severely different from the painted picture of efficiency.
Overview of this questionable searching platform
According to the victim’s reports, Piz7ohhujogi.com was one of the websites that managed to redirect them to Searchbee.net. Its popularity is quite high in South Korea and 23,91% of total visitors are from this country. It is also quite visited in Brazil, United States, Morocco and India. Since it has been created in December of 2014, it has managed to gain some prevalence. 13.17% of traffic is from display of advertisements. We are not convinced that all of these promotions will be genuinely looking for potential clients and not merely distributing malware or endorsing visitation to misleading websites.
WhoIs Guard Protected is once again applied to the information which is available about the website owners. Since we have managed to gather a relatively small amount of information when it comes to the possible controllers of this service, we have to emphasize that people are discouraged from utilizing the latter search engine due to its deceptive nature. This website does not indicate its owners and has not composed nor an EULA nor a Privacy Policy. Without these forms, we cannot recommend people to utilize search engine.
We ran several queries to determine whether this searching tool works. Instead of being introduced to links, associated with our entered keywords, we were left with a blank page. Even though the engine is so highly praised by its developers, its actual functionality is almost non-existent as visitors cannot possibly find anything on the Internet via this service. None of the promoted features were found during the investigation of Searchbee.net.
Our team of researchers feels glad to be able to warn people about another browser hijacker. This one does not appear to have any significant differences from the rest of hijackware. Maybe just that its interface looks more well-made, but the appearance does not tell the whole story.
For your own safety, we are are recommending that you would not keep this search engine as your preference. This hijacker will invade your browsers’ settings: home pages, default search providers and new tab pages. They all will direct you to the questionable search platforms, until you will apply stronger resources for elimination. Stop automatic redirection, bothersome flow of advertisements by examining your operating system with an anti-malware tool. We recommend you to exploit the possibilities of Spyhunter or Malwarebytes.
If manual removal is more to your taste, we are introducing you to the instructions at the end of this article. Repeat every step and you should be able to have the control over your settings back. You have to do every step correctly if you wish to get rid of the malware parasite for good. However, this strategy won’t work if your device has more malware present: this means that you should consider the first option better.
How should a malware infection be avoided?
There are several steps that should be completed if you do not want to be tricked into installing a malware parasite. First of all, try to always download software and updates for it from respectable sources. Various pop-ups, websites that belong to unknown third-parties should not be tempting you to install an upgrade for your application. In addition to this, please remember to select advanced/custom modes for installation processes.
