How to remove To find result browser hijacker
Written by Tomas Meskauskas on (updated)
What kind of application is To find result?
We have discovered the To find result application on a shady website encouraging us to add an unspecified browser extension. After adding To find result to a browser, we have noticed that it changed its settings - it hijacked a browser to promote togosearching.com (a fake search engine).
To find result browser hijacker in detail
Our team has found that To find result hijacks a web browser by changing the default search engine, homepage, and new tab page to togosearching.com. We have tested togosearching.com and learned that it shows results generated by Google, Bing, and possibly other search engines. It redirects to bing.com via my-search.com and trafficjunction.com (a couple of shady addresses).
Fake search engines can promote untrustworthy websites (include their addresses in results) and show results generated by other shady search engines. Thus, it is never recommended to use fake search engines to browse the Internet.

Browser hijackers in general
We have examined plenty of browser hijackers (and fake search engines) and found that sometimes they collect browsing-related and even sensitive data. Gathered data can be misused for malicious purposes. A couple examples of other browser-hijacking apps are multisearch.live, Film Links Now | Default Search, ConvertersCoolSearch.
How did To find result install on my computer?
The installer for To find result browser hijacker is distributed via deceptive website. A browser gets hijacked after the installation. In other cases, apps of this type are distributed using shady ads designed to run certain scripts and downloaders/installers for other software.
Downloaders/installers containing browser hijackers have "Advanced", "Custom", or similar settings (or ticked checkboxes). A browser gets hijacked after installing software bundled with a browser hijacker without changing the aforementioned settings.
How to avoid installation of unwanted applications?
Download applications from legitimate sources (official websites, direct links). Do not trust downloads from other sources (P2P networks, third-party downloaders, shady websites, etc.). Also, do not click on fake buttons and ads displayed by dubious web pages. Deselect optional downloads/installations before downloading/installing software.
If your computer is already infected with To find result, we recommend running a scan with Combo Cleaner Antivirus for Windows to automatically eliminate this browser hijacker.
