Qseach.com

Like other forms of fake search engines of poor repute, Qseach.com uses the outer appearance of a web search utility, but fails to provide any of the definitive results that a real search engine would offer to its visitors. Along with this general uselessness, Qseach.com also offers a risk of infecting your PC with browser-redirecting Trojans, which use attacks that are similar to those of a ,Google Redirect Virus and, force you to visit Qseach.com, even if that's not your intended destination. Because of all of these malicious traits, SpywareRemove.com malware experts recommend that you keep your browser away from Qseach.com and away from any site that's even vaguely-linked to Qseach.com. If you're seeing signs of Qseach.com-based browser attacks, don't try to change your browser or avoid search engine sites – instead, use a trustworthy anti-malware application to scan your PC and delete Qseach.com's browser hijacker with minimal effort.

The Dangers That Even a Split Second at Qseach.com Holds for Your PC

Qseach.com and its subdomains (search.qseach.com and es.qseach.com) may look very similar to other types of search engines that you've encountered, but hiding underneath their masks lies a level of malignant functionality that you should do everything in your power to avoid. SpywareRemove.com malware analysts have noted that contact with Qseach.com can cause your PC to be infected with browser-redirecting programs, even if you don't install anything deliberately – thanks to exploits based on Flash, Java and other browser vulnerabilities, Qseach.com can install its program without your permission and without showing the process as it occurs.

Although a Qseach.com infection will launch itself without your permission and try to avoid being seen, its symptoms are extremely visible and can include:

• Being redirected to Qseach.com, after you try to use another search engine, either by navigating to its URL or by clicking a search result's link.
• Qseach.com being displayed as the default page when you open your web browser or create a new window.
• Poor browser performance, including slower website loading and slower searches.
• Browser settings that change to bad values whenever you reboot your PC or refuse to be changed at all.

Putting Qseach.com in Its Place and Taking Your Online Searches Back

Even though Qseach.com offers a search bar and supposedly helpful links, all content that Qseach.com directs you to is for Qseach.com's own good, rather than yours. As is the case with fraudulent search engines by other names, Qseach.com can expose you to phishing sites that steal private information, scamware sites that sell fake programs and advertisements that aren't related to your search terms. SpywareRemove.com malware researchers can only advise you to save your time for better sites than Qseach.com, since there's nothing to gain by using Qseach.com and quite a bit to lose.

If you've intentionally or accidentally come into contact with Qseach.com and believe that your PC is infected, you can treat any browser hijackers and related PC threats by using an anti-malware program to scan your PC. However, if you don't take steps to shut down the Qseach.com infection before your scan, even a competent application may be unable to remove the Qseach.com Trojan. In most cases, SpywareRemove.com malware experts have found that selecting Safe Mode from the advanced startup menu is adequate for stopping Qseach.com-based browser hijackers.
