WebWebWeb.com Redirect

What is search.webwebweb.com?

The WebWebWeb.com browser hijacker infiltrates Internet browsers (Google Chrome and Mozilla Firefox) through free software downloads. At time of testing, this website was promoted via an application called 'video downloader professional'.

Developers of this browser settings-changing adware (LINK64 GmbH) employ a deceptive software marketing method called 'bundling', and thus, most computer users install this plug-in inadvertently without their consent. After successful infiltration, this browser hijacker assigns the browser homepage and default search engine fields to webwebweb.com

At time of research, this site redirected users to Google, a legitimate Internet search engine, however, the developers of this deceptive browser plug-in are able to redirect webwebweb.com to other malicious websites at any time.

Therefore, it is dangerous to have this browser hijacker installed on your Internet browsers. As well as causing unwanted browser redirects to the webwebweb.com website, this plug-in tracks users' Internet browsing activity by recording web pages visited, impressions, information from social media websites, clicks, and search terms.

The presence of this browser settings-changing adware on your system can lead to serious malware infections and privacy issues, and therefore, you are advised to remove this browser hijacker from your Internet browser/s.

The WebWebWeb.com browser hijacker is similar to other browser settings-changing adware including, for example, searchsun.info, Tika-search.com, and SnapDo.com. To avoid installation of browser settings-changing adware such as this, be attentive when downloading free software.

Today, most freeware download websites use 'download clients' and various 'installers' to monetize their free services, and thus, not paying close enough attention when downloading or installing free software can lead to adware infections.

When downloading free software, decline installation of any advertised browser plugins, and when installing downloaded freeware, use the 'Advanced' or 'Custom' installation options - this will reveal any bundled adware listed for installation. To remove the webwebweb.com browser hijacker, use the removal guide provided.
