Anasayfa.im Redirect

What is anasayfa.im?

anasayfa.im is another fake Internet search engine that falsely claims to improve users' Internet browsing experience by generating the most relevant search results.

These claims often trick users into believing that anasayfa.im is a legitimate website, however, this site continually monitors Internet browsing activity. In addition, anasayfa.im is promoted using deceptive software downloaders and installers that hijack web browsers and stealthily modify various options.

Download/installation set-ups hijack Internet Explorer, Google Chrome, and Mozilla Firefox, assigning the new tab URL, homepage, and default search engine options to anasayfa.im. In addition, set-ups modify the targets of browser shortcuts by appending this same URL.

Therefore, users continually encounter unwanted redirects to anasayfa.im, significantly diminishing the web browsing experience. Furthermore, users are unable to revert these changes, since set-ups install a number of "helper objects" (third party applications and/or browser plug-ins) that reassign settings when attempts are made to change them.

Therefore, rolling back changes by downloaders/installers becomes impossible. Helper objects and anasayfa.im continually record IP addresses, website URLs visited, search queries, pages viewed, and other similar data relating to web browsing activity.

This information might contain private details that developers share with cooperating third parties (potentially, cyber criminals). Research shows that these people often misuse private information to generate revenue. Data tracking can lead to serious privacy issues or even identity theft.

If you continually encounter unwanted browser redirects to anasayfa.im, uninstall all recently-installed applications and never visit this website again.

There are hundreds of fake Internet search engines that have characteristics similar to anasayfa.im including webhome-page.com, wzscnet.com, and searchitdown.com - these are just some examples from many. Be aware that all fake search engines are designed only to generate revenue for the developers.

By claiming to provide 'useful features', they attempt to give the impression of legitimacy. In fact, fake search engines are useless for regular users.

They cause unwanted browser redirects, collect private data, and deliver intrusive online ads. Some also generate results leading to malicious websites. Therefore, using a fake search engine can lead to high-risk computer infections.

How did anasayfa.im install on my computer?

anasayfa.im is promoted using a deceptive marketing method called "bundling". Developers know that users often rush the download/installation processes and skip most/all steps. Therefore, all browser settings modification details are hidden within the "Custom/Advanced" settings.

By skipping this section, users inadvertently grant set-ups permission to modify various settings, expose their systems to risk of various infections, and compromise their privacy.

How to avoid installation of potentially unwanted applications?

There are two steps you should take to prevent this situation. Firstly, never rush when downloading and installing software - select the "Custom" or "Advanced" settings and closely analyze each step. Secondly, opt-out of all third party apps, decline all offers to download/install them, and never allow set-ups modify options irrelevant to the installation.
