Searchbrowsing.com Redirect

Also Known As: Searchbrowsing Virus
Damage level: Medium

What is Searchbrowsing.com?

The Searchbrowsing.com website presents users with a customized Yahoo search engine. This website is promoted using free software, toolbars, and browser add-ons, which computer users download from the Internet. This method of promotion is deemed deceptive, since computer users often inadvertently install the browser add-ons without their consent.

To avoid these situations, users should use caution when installing free software. Check each installation window carefully for any suggestion that your Internet browser homepage or default search engine may be changed. Redirects to searchbrowsing.com are related to the Search Core Systems company and associated software.

Searchbrowsing.com redirect

To eliminate redirects to this website, computer users should uninstall software associated with this vendor.

Using Searchbrowsing.com for your daily Internet searches does not provide any genuine benefit, and on the downside, the customized Yahoo search engine displays a larger font for sponsored search results, thus encouraging computer users to click them.

Furthermore, unlike Google, Yahoo does not enforce strict policies regarding sponsored search results, thus potentially leading to inadvertent installation of unwanted software or additional browser add-ons.

Redirects to searchbrowsing.com are a consequence of installing software developed by Search Core Systems. If your Internet browser redirects you to this website, use the removal guide provided to eliminate these redirect problems.
