What is Verti-search.com?

Verti-search.com redirects searches

Verti-search.com is a website by Imali Media. This is the same company that made Funsafetabsearch.com, Socialnewpagessearch.com, Funsocialtabsearch.com, Mediatvtabsearch.com, Tabitab.com, and many other browser extensions and new tab replacers.

If you visit Verti-search.com, you can see that it has a search box in the middle of the page. If you type a search query into that search box, Verti-search.com opens Lisumanagerine.club which then goes to Bing.com, Nearbyme.io, or another website.

Verti-search.com -> Lisumanagerine.club -> Bing.com/Nearbyme.io/etc.

So, Verti-search.com isn’t really a search engine. It’s just a page that takes your search terms and then sends them off to whatever site it wants.

Verti-search.com collects user data

Even though Verti-search.com doesn’t deliver any search results, it does still get to handle people’s search queries. And its privacy policy implies that the site does log search data. It also logs ad impressions and clicks.

This data can help Verti-search.com make money off of advertising. If not by using the collected data to target ads, then by directing people to a related website that displays ads.

Data collection and advertising is why many browser hijackers and search hijackers exist in the first place. Some of them, like Dailyfeastrecipe.com, are even made by advertising companies.

Why do browsers show Verti-search.com?

But if Verti-search.com is so useless, why would anyone use it at all?

Sites like Verti-search.com often don’t ask for permission to be installed:

• Instead, they come bundled with freeware installers.
• Or they are advertised deceptively, in a way that tricks people into installing them.
• In some cases, browser add-ons are sold to advertisers or updated by their developers to start redirecting searches.

If your browser started opening Verti-search.com and other unfamiliar sites, you might not be sure what caused that. A new browser extension, installed without your knowledge? Or an old extension whose author decided to cash out?

By the way, Verti-search.com also asks visitors for permission to send notifications. Those who click “Allow” on Verti-search.com’s prompt may start seeing little pop-ups from the site on their screens. Verti-search.com can use notifications to deliver ads, as do many notification spammers (Press allow to continue) and even legitimate websites.

How to stop Verti-search.com redirects

Review the extensions that are installed on your browser. Remove those that are suspicious, that you don’t use, that you didn’t install. If you aren’t sure about an extension, just temporarily disable it (disabled extensions can be quickly re-enabled.) and see if that makes the Verti-search.com redirects stop.

In general, browser extensions are not good for privacy, so it’s best to be careful about what you install.

If a site like Linkvertise forces you to install an add-on on your browser, then remove it as soon as you are able.

You can use an anti-malware app (Spyhunter for Mac, Combo Cleaner for Mac, Spyhunter for PC, etc.) to help you find malicious browser add-ons and other files and apps.

If Verti-search.com is sending you notification pop-ups, stop them by going into your browser settings.
