Seekdns.com

Although Seekdns.com may seem like a useful site for web searches, Seekdns.com's real purpose isn't so benign – unlike actual search engines, Seekdns.com is coded to show you irrelevant, advertisement-filled spam sites that offer money to Seekdns.com for the exposure. Because Seekdns.com doesn't use the safety regulations that normal search engines are known for, contact with Seekdns.com or sites that Seekdns.com recommends can harm your PC. The prime form of damage that SpywareRemove.com malware researchers have noted in contact with Seekdns.com is its preference for utilizing browser-hijacking Trojans. These hijack attacks can redirect your web browser to Seekdns.com in a number of ways and should be considered a sign that your PC is seriously-infected. However, as long as you remove the browser hijacker with a competent PC security program and avoid future contact with Seekdns.com, your computer shouldn't be permanently-harmed by the experience.

Seekdns.com: the Search Engine with Only Rotten Links to Sell

Seekdns.com (also known as SeekDNS) has no visible differences from a real search engine, until you attempt to use Seekdns.com, at which point you'll find that Seekdns.com isn't giving you results that match your search query at all.
