50searchengines.com

50searchengines.com is a fake search engine site that uses browser hijackers to inflate its traffic and force victims to peruse 50searchengines.com search results. Although 50searchengines.com claims to use dozens of different search engines to power its results, all of 50searchengines.com's results are inaccurate at best, and may even contain a fraudulent or malicious code that can attack your PC as soon as you click a link. SpywareRemove.com malware researchers note that 50searchengines.com browser hijackers are also capable of interfering with the programs that they don't hijack and should be removed as soon as possible. To delete 50searchengines.com infections from your PC, be prepared to use a fully-updated and powerful anti-malware scanner, preferably after you've rebooted into Safe Mode.

50searchengines.com: The Power of Fifty (Fraudulent) Search Engines at Your Fingertips

Unlike other browser hijackers that SpywareRemove.com malware analysts have dissected (such as Seeearch.com, Partner12.mydomainadvisor.com/search.php, startsear.ch, search-fever.com or find-fast-answers.com), 50searchengines.com browser hijackers tend to refrain from blocking your homepage or default start page. Instead of doing this, most 50searchengines.com browser hijackers will cause a second 50searchengines.com tab to open whenever you launch your web browser.

SpywareRemove.com malware research team strongly discourages you from using these supposed fifty search engines that 50searchengines.com pretends to offer, since 50searchengines.com search results may be a source of infection or exposure to other types of harmful sites (such as phishing websites that steal private login information by pretending to be legitimate website login forms). Other symptoms of a 50searchengines.com infection may also manifest themselves over time, such as the following:

• Blocked access to other types of web browsers that 50searchengines.com has failed to hijack, such as Mozilla Firefox. By default, a 50searchengines.com browser hijacker will always try to hijack Internet Explorer.
• Redirected searches that cause your browser to switch to 50searchengines.com after you've tried to use another search engine.
• Random system reboots, especially if they occur while you try to use anti-malware programs to delete 50searchengines.com.
• Downloads that cancel themselves or fail with unusual error messages. This attack may also target software updates and patches.

Denying All Fifty of 50searchengines.com's Fake Search Results from Your PC

Because 50searchengines.com makes many of its changes from components of Windows that aren't directly attached to your browser, trying to make changes to Internet Explorer isn't the appropriate way to solve a 50searchengines.com infection. Rather than doing that, SpywareRemove.com malware researchers suggest that you go straight to the source of infection by scanning your hard drive with an anti-malware program, to find all of 50searchengines.com's files and Registry entries.

Because this scan may be ineffective, unless your security program has been updated for recent malware threat definitions, you should reboot Windows into 'Safe Mode with Networking', before you try a scan with your preferred anti-spyware program. The 'Safe Mode with Networking' option will let you access the Internet and download malware definition updates for your anti-spyware program to remove malware associated with 50searchengines.com.
