How does Chromesearch.club work?
According to our research, when Chromesearch.club hijacks the default search provider, it might set i-searchresults.com. This search tool displays original search results, and it seems that all of them correspond to the original queries. If you choose to surf the web via Chromesearch.club, you will be redirected to Google Search. Although the results are not modified, and you should find the content you want, the fact that the hijacker can randomly redirect you without your permission is quite disconcerting. Even though you might be familiar with Google Search, and you might consider this to be the best search tool available, you need to think carefully if a hijacker redirecting you to it illegally should be involved at all. At the end of the day, the hijacker does not offer anything beneficial, and that is the perfect reason to delete it from your browser. Sure, it provides you with easy-access links to plus.google.com (Me+), google.com/gmail (Gmail), images.google.com (Images), and google.com/videohp (Video), but you will have access to these sites and many others if you just set Google Search as your default search provider. First, of course, you need to delete the hijacker.
