Mysearchresults.com Redirect

What is Mysearchresults.com?

The Mysearchresults.com website is promoted through browser add-ons and toolbars. This website presents users with a search bar, which uses a customized Google search engine. The main purpose of creating this website is to monetize incoming web traffic.

Each time a computer user clicks on sponsored search results presented by the website, revenue is shared between Google and the creators of Mysearchresults.com

In fact, there are no real benefits to using this website, and moreover, the sponsored results are often unrelated to users' original search queries. Commonly, redirects to mysearchresults.com are forced by the Default Tab Internet browser plug-in. Browser add-ons such as these are promoted using various websites.

For example, Softonic (a popular website specializing in software distribution), suggests users install its 'download client' in order to download software from their website. This download client also installs the Default Tab plug-in to users' Internet browsers, thus causing redirects to mysearchresults.com

Whilst mysearchresults.com is not related to malware or viruses, this website is promoted using dubious methods. Computer users should express caution when installing free software downloaded from the Internet, since free software developers often bundle their products with third party browser plug-ins for monetization purposes.

Redirects to Mysearchresults.com are a consequence of installing third party plug-ins to your Internet browser (Default Tab).

To avoid these redirects, computer users should carefully check each installation window of any free software they install on their systems. Uncheck any options related to changing the Internet browser homepage or default search engine. To remove redirects to Mysearchresults.com, use the removal instructions provided.
