Problems with Yourbestsearching.com

Yourbestsearching.com is a website that accepts search queries and forwards you to a site that displays relevant search results. instead of searching the web itself, it sends the query to other sites and had them display the results. At first glance, it looks very useless and unnecessary. But it’s not really meant to be useful.

Yourbestsearching.com is similar to Search.searchutilities.co, Cybersearch.xyz, and other search hijackers. To normal users, these sites are completely useless. But to their creators, these sites help advertise and collect valuable data.

Privacy problems

Rather than provide a useful function to the people who use it, Yourbestsearching.com is meant to collect data on its users and forward them to affiliate sites. It serves as spyware and it controls the search results of those who use it.

Based on Yourbestsearching.com’s privacy policy, it collects a lot of user data and may use it for commercial purposes.

Your IP and location are logged, of course. Your browsing history might be, along with the content of the pages that you visit. Yourbestsearching.com wants to know what ads you see, which ones you click on, and when you do all this. And of course, it also logs search queries.

Your browsing and search data might contain a lot of your personal information and it’s not unheard of for browser add-ons to share such data with big data companies.

Unwanted changes to your browser

Browser extensions can access a lot more of your data than websites. They are also able to influence your browsing. They can change your default search engine and your new tab page. Even without changing your default search engine, they can intercept and redirect links. At worst, extensions can inject ads into webpages.

The extension responsible for the Yourbestsearching.com redirects is probably less dangerous. It might have set Yourbestsearching.com  or another site as your default search engine. Or it might work by detecting when you open Google, Bing, or another search engine, and then replacing that tab with Yourbestsearching.com.

Installed without permission

Of course, since Yourbestsearching.com lacks any useful features, people don’t choose to use it voluntarily. Instead, it gets installed without the user’s permission.

Here are some ways in which adware infects web browsers:

• Malicious browser extensions get deceptively advertised online, tricking people into installing them.
• They get embedded into the installers of other programs.
• Safe browser extensions are turned into malicious adware by an update (often after being sold to new owners).

How to remove Yourbestsearching.com

Scan your computer with antivirus or anti-malware programs, such as Spyhunter for Windows or Combo Cleaner for macOS. Anti-malware programs should detect adware infections, bundlers, wrappers, and other potentially unwanted items. They might also detect the browser add-on that’s responsible for the Yourbestsearching.com redirects.

However, anti-malware apps often fail to detect search-hijacking browser extensions. So, you might need to find and remove them yourself.

First, remove or disable all the extensions that you don’t use. Then, experiment with disabling the rest of your extensions until the Yourbestsearching.com redirects stop happening. once you’ve discovered which extension was causing the redirects, remove it.

To remove and enable/disable extensions, follow the instructions below.
