What is Buscador-solidario.org?
Buscador-solidario.org is supposedly a domain related to a Spanish organization that unites families with children who have autism. Unfortunately, we would like to recommend against using this domain because it happens to be a browser hijacker that only makes use of the name. If you see this domain on your browser, it means your system has been breached by malicious application that has modified your browser settings. It is in your best interest to remove Buscador-solidario.org from your computer immediately, as the browser hijacker may inadvertently redirect you to malware-related websites, and eventually, you could end up getting an infection with severe computer security threats.
Where does Buscador-solidario.org come from?
This browser hijacker definitely does not come from the Fundacion Aucavi. Although there is no official website that would be distributing this infection, some of the information in the Privacy Policy section says that the “program is a project of AD CROWN BUSINESS SOLUTIONS, SL.” Needless to say, this does not provide us with completely reliable information, nor does it say how Buscador-solidario.org managed to slither into your system.
However, keeping in mind that this program is a browser hijacker, we can assume that it came bundled with freeware and adware. For example, it would not be surprising if you got infected with the hijacker when you downloaded a program from a file-sharing website. Also, software packages with potentially harmful programs are often hiding behind fake download buttons on torrent and p2p websites, so you have to be very careful about what you click on.
What does Buscador-solidario.org do?
This browser hijacker supports Google Chrome, Mozilla Firefox, and Internet Explorer. It does not seem to work on the Edge browser. When the program enters the target system, it modifies default homepage and search engine settings by setting Buscador-solidario.org as your main search provider. All of your search queries get redirected to the custom version of the Google search engine. Take note that your image search will be rerouted via Yahoo.com.
This does not mean that Yahoo! Search and Google have anything to do with the infection. Simply, Buscador-solidario.org makes use of the established search engine to make its task of redirecting you to affiliated websites easier. If you are not careful, you may end up on a website that distributes malware, and then you would have an entire bunch of malicious programs to remove.
How do I remove Buscador-solidario.org?
Before any of that happens, you should get rid of this browser hijacker. Just like best-found.com, this hijacker can be removed by restoring your browser settings to default. There is no application to remove via Control Panel that would be directly associated with Buscador-solidario.org. However, you may have programs that have come along with this application.
Therefore, scan your PC with the SpyHunter free scanner to locate all the potential threats and then delete them automatically using a powerful antispyware tool. If you need any recommendation or assistance with browser hijacker removal, do not hesitate to contact us.
The most important thing is the prevention. Stay away from unfamiliar websites that could be part of malware distribution network. Also, keep your antispyware application up-to-date, so that it could protect you from similar infections in the future.
