What is Maxdatafeed.com?
Maxdatafeed.com is a search engine which has been developed by Gracery and which supposedly can provide you with reliable and useful search results. Unfortunately, it has been discovered that the suspicious application can be employed to act as a browser hijacker. Anti-Spyware-101.com researchers warn that if you have noticed unauthorized web browser changes or unauthorized rerouting to this page, it is likely that your computer has been corrupted by dangerous malware. Cyber criminals often use authentic software and browser extensions to get closer to Windows users and then perform malignant actions without any warnings or symptoms. Despite all this, you can fight the misleading browser hijacker. Please continue reading to find out how you can remove Maxdatafeed.com from your Internet Explorer, Mozilla Firefox and Google Chrome browsers.
How does Maxdatafeed.com act?
If the suspicious Maxdatafeed.com has been set as your home page, you probably have used it as a search engine. Have you faced the strange notification ‘Not satisfied with your results? Try Google’? The dubious application does not work as a regular search engine, primarily because it is advertisement supported. This means that the search results may be presented accordingly to which company has paid more for the promotion, instead of the entered keywords. The I Feel Lucky search engine does not give you options to browse Images or Videos, and only allows you to view the Privacy Policy, Contact and Terms and Conditions of Use. Here is an important excerpt you should be aware of:
