Even though the search results which you will see if you use the search box placed on the main page of Safe-web.tk do not contain sponsored links and advertisements, you might still see advertisements on the start page of Safe-web.tk. They will be based on the information about your activities on the web (e.g. search queries you enter, items you look at online stores, links you click on, etc.), so you might find them appealing and want to click on them. As experts at anti-spyware-101.com have managed to find out, these ads might redirect to unreliable web pages despite their good looks, so it would be best to ignore them all.
