What is Awesomehp?

If you are concerned about Awesomehp, or Awesomehp.com, it implies that your browsers are hijacked. Awesomehp is a search engine which belongs to Tomoon, Inc, and which provides computer users with the search results retrieved from Yahoo. The browser hijacker promoting this search engine works on Internet Explorer, Google Chrome and Mozilla Firefox. Once installed, it modifies the shortcuts of the browsers in order to prevent manual changes. It appends a link to Awesomehp to the Target line, which means that after reseting the settings of the browsers, you will be again provided with Awesomehp.com, which may make you think that it is impossible to remove Awesomehp from the browsers. The truth is that is possible to do it, so continue reading to find out how you get rid of this browser hijacker.

How does Awesomehp work?

Awesomehp monitors you every time you access it; i.e., it records your search terms, IP address, the date and time of your search queries and your clicks. The information is said to be collected for a variety of purposes, including marketing and advertising. In order to collect relevant information, one or more cookies and/or web beacons are used to identify your preferences. test test test test

Awesomehp is not a static product because it is constantly changing. Some time ago, its startup page contained no advertisements; however, now you may find some ads. It is no secret that Awesomehp can provide its users with links to other websites, because this is openly declared in the license agreement of the search engine. It is important to note that Awesomehp is not liable for the accuracy, authenticity or completeness of the information that is provided to the users. Hence, it means that you interact with the Awesomehp advertisements at your own risk.

Awesomehp should be removed from the browsers because it has been found that its source code contains links to other search engine promoted by browser hijackers. For example, aartemis.com, nationzoom.com, 22find.com and some other are present in the source code.
