Search.worthut.com Virus - How to remove

Search.worthut.com is a recent PUP – a potentially unwanted program – classified as a browser hijacker. Hijackware distinguishes itself as deceptive applications, involved in malvertising (illegitimate advertising) business and potentially viral in a sense of inviting virus to one computer’s system. Search.worthut.com hijacker is specifically designed for Mac operating system.

About Search.worthut.com Browser Hijacker

Just like hijackers Search.mybestmediatabsearch.com, Search.viewsearch.net or Greenet.xyz, etc., Search.worthut.com redirects to search.yahoo.com, whatever search term you enter in the search box of this fake search engine. If you clicked on the News shortcut on the upper toolbar at the top left corner of its main search page, you will be rerouted to news.google.co.il. And so it gives an impression that this rogue search provider cannot offer any authentic (of its own) search rendering function. This deeply questions the trustworthiness of the Search.worthut.com program. And not without a reason.

Once your computer gets infected with Search.worthut.com app, your default homepage, search engine and a new tab page, all are traded for the rogue search engine under the URL of search.worthut.com. This exchange is baleful for the user. And there is a number of reasons which answer the question ‘‘why?’’. Well, first of all, the search results you are rendered are of much lower quality in comparison with those you received when you had a legitimate search provider set on your browser, taking into account the fact that Search.worthut.com extension sponsors 3rd party scam advertising websites. Even the authentic web pages displayed by Yahoo! Search will have 3rd party scam advertisements embedded. All this prevents you from accessing quality content and, above all, jeopardizes the safety of your computer’s system and the data you have on it stored.

How has Search.worthut.com Browser Hijacker Gotten on Your Computer?

The developers of Search.worthut.com hijacker are not stupid, they know that hardly any user would be interested in downloading and installing the actual program if it was offered straightforwardly without any deception. Thus, they employ the ‘‘bundling’’ method to spread this PUP as wide as it is possible. This method refers to the silent installation of unwanted programs which is made possible with the help of free popular apps used as carriers. However, there is a way to sidestep this installation crack. You will only need to enter the Advanced/Custom mode and kick the PUPs out of the installer.
