Where does Enhanced-search.com come from?
At first glance it seems that Enhanced-search.com is a reliable search engine. It also has an information page at info.enhance-search.com. The website presents you with the Terms of use and removal instructions for Mozilla Firefox, Google Chrome and Internet Explorer. However, it is obvious that these instructions are of no use, because Enhanced-search.com does not want to leave your computer that easily.
Some users may confuse Enhanced-search.com with Enhanced Search toolbar which is developed by Conduit. However, the two applications have nothing in common (except for their name). In fact, Enhanced-search.com is not related to Conduit at all. Based on our security research, it is associated with Qone8 and Sweet-page browser hijackers.
What does Enhanced-search.com do?
Enhanced-search.com is usually bundled with freeware. It might come with fake Java or media player installers. Thus, whenever you see a random pop-up that offers you to download a new media player or a Java plug-in update, you should NOT click the Install button, because such pop-ups usually promote adware and browser hijacker infections.
Once this browser hijacker enters your system, it changes your default homepage and search engine to info.enhance-search.com. It also changes Target line in browser settings which makes regular removal instructions useless. What is more, Enhanced-search.com displays a lot of commercial advertisements with third party content that could be potentially harmful. The browser hijacker connects to ams1.ib.adnxs.com adware server to generate the commercial content, and you can never be sure whether the content displayed is perfectly safe.
