Best-Found.com

Best-Found.com is a suspicious search engine which has been noticed to redirect its users to Google and Yahoo supported searches. Even though the search tool provides links to Mail, Maps, Images, Calendar, Storage, Videos and Shopping, you should not expect it to present you original or authentic links. In fact, instead of presenting regular search results, it will open new tabs routing you to search.google.com, images.yahoo.com and similar pages. Even though these links are not considered to be malicious, Anti-Spyware-101.com researchers recommend staying extra careful about the way the dubious search engine works. If you do not know how to remove Best-Found.com from the browsers, we recommend that you continue reading the report. Read more »
