Searchwesearch.com
Searchwesearch.com is a term that's used both for a browser hijacker and a fake search engine site that fails to provide helpful (or safe) results. Although Searchwesearch.com has the look and feel of a real search engine, Searchwesearch.com prefers to provide results that drive affiliate revenue back to itself, instead of giving you results that are relevant to your searches. More dangerously than its time-wasting links, however, is Searchwesearch.com's browser-hijacking Trojans, which SpywareRemove.com malware experts note may be installed via browser-based vulnerabilities without your consent. Browser redirect attacks can occur in multiple types of web browsers and are a serious indication that your PC has already been infected by Searchwesearch.com's software. In such circumstances, the safest thing for your PC is to remove Searchwesearch.com's browser hijacker with an efficient anti-malware scanner to insure that no other harm comes to your Hosts file, Registry file or other Windows components.
The Iron Beneath Searchwesearch.com's Velvet Glove
Although Searchwesearch.com's distinctive lack of real search engine features is both irritating and potentially-dangerous, the most straightforward threat against your PC from Searchwesearch.com lies in its usage of browser-hijacking Trojans. Browser hijackers can be installed even if you only visit Searchwesearch.com or another hostile site without downloading anything intentionally, and SpywareRemove.com malware experts have noted the following probable symptoms in Searchwesearch.com-affiliated ones:
- Redirects to Searchwesearch.com or an affiliate site when you try to use a popular search engine, including Google, Yahoo, MSN or Bing.
- Having your homepage or default new tab page set to Searchwesearch.com.
- Redirects to Searchwesearch.com at random moments while browsing non-search engine sites.
- The appearance of unusual pop-up windows and/or toolbars.
Because Searchwesearch.com browser hijackers are designed to attack the Windows Hosts file, making web browser changes will not do anything to harm the browser hijacker itself. Major web browsers like Internet Explorer, Firefox, and Chrome are all vulnerable to Searchwesearch.com redirect attacks, although non-Windows computers are safe from all types of currently-known Searchwesearch.com browser hijackers.
A Few More Examples of Searchwesearch.com's Poor Netiquette
Since even brief exposure to Searchwesearch.com or affiliated websites can harm your PC by contact with drive-by-download scripts, phishing attacks and malicious software, it goes without saying that prolonged exposure via browser redirects isn't something that you should tolerate. SpywareRemove.com malware experts discourage any attempts at communication with Searchwesearch.com's web masters or attempts to treat Searchwesearch.com like a normal search engine site, since Searchwesearch.com doesn't operate like a trustworthy business and has zero interest in anything except profiting via malicious programs.
Safe Mode or rebooting Windows from USB drive (or another portable drive device, such as a CD) will bypass many of the Registry entries that Searchwesearch.com infections can use to trigger themselves. This temporary solution can be used to put your PC into a position to delete Searchwesearch.com's browser hijacker with the anti-malware program of your choice. As long as the program itself is adequately-competent, full threat definition updates have been installed, and you use the most complete in-depth system scan options that are available, your PC should be cleaned of the Searchwesearch.com redirect scourge without any side effects.
