Search.searchws.com

If your browsers’ settings have been changed and, as a consequence, you see Search.searchws.com set as your new homepage and default search tool on Internet Explorer, Mozilla Firefox, and Google Chrome, it is an indication that a browser hijacker has infiltrated your system.

(you can read about them on our website too), so specialists have found out quickly that it is another untrustworthy page pretending to be a legitimate search provider. Yes, it does look trustworthy, but analysis carried out by experienced specialists working at anti-spyware-101.com has clearly shown that it is far from a reputable search tool because it might show some untrustworthy search results that, in the worst-case scenario, might expose users to potential threats. If you have a different opinion about it, we are sure you will change it if you continue reading this article and read it till the end. Read more »
