How does Baysearch.co work?
There are two different versions of Baysearch.co. The first one is baysearch.co/index.html?from=@, and that is the home page that represents the BaySearch Video NnewTab extension. Ironically, the Download button does not work, and you cannot actually install the add-on. Nonetheless, it can be spread using third-party installers along with malware, and it is also available at chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/baysearch-video-newtab/pjkoaegmlnboldcpgflibpaejmpeknia. Since the Chrome web store is trusted, many users might download the extension without even suspecting a threat. After all, the extension should provide you with access to entertainment sites, as well as a search tool, and it does not look like it could be risky. Well, it can be. The other version is baysearch.co/ext/index.html, and that is the search engine that takes over the New Tab or homepage on your Chrome browser. If you use this tool, you might be exposed to links promoting advertisements, coupons, discounts, scams, and installers. We suggest you act cautiously with the search results. Better yet, remove the hijacker and set a search tool you can trust.
Although you might be convinced that Baysearch.co offers great services, this browser hijacker is too unpredictable to trust, and that is why we suggest getting rid of it. Well, what about the extension? BaySearch Video NnewTab does not offer anything besides access to the hijacker. Of course, the interface of Baysearch.co provides links to Netflix, Hulu, Dailymotion, Xfinity, and IMDB websites, but that does not make it useful. If you enjoy having links to all of these websites in one place, we advise creating bookmarks. If you do that, you will be able to access these website at any point, regardless of whether you are on your homepage, your New Tab page, or any website. Just make sure that your bookmarks bar is shown, which you can adjust directly from your browser (access the chrome://settings/ menu and select “Show bookmarks bar”). As for Baysearch.co, we are sure that you can find something better and more useful, and so we recommend that you delete it at once.

Anti-Spyware-101.com malware experts recommend installing anti-malware software regardless of whether or not other threats are found.
