How does Hoistsearch.com work?
Anti-Spyware-101.com researchers have tested Hoistsearch.com after learning that, in some cases, it can hijack web browsers without permission. It was found that this search provider is usually introduced by Searchbloc, LLC as the helpful Hoist Search Enhancer. If you were introduced to this installer, but you did not un-check boxes indicating that you want to change your homepage and search provider settings, you cannot call Hoistsearch.com a hijacker. In either case, this “search enhancer” is a completely useless and unreliable tool that does not deserve your trust, regardless of how it has entered your operating system. Our research has revealed that this search tool was created to serve in two ways, neither of which benefits you. First of all, this search provider tracks your virtual activity and possibly sells the information collected to unknown advertisers. Secondly, it shows ads instead of authentic search results.
“Ads by Hoist Search” are the sponsored links that you will encounter if you enter keywords into the search box provided by Hoistsearch.com. In fact, it is unlikely that you will see unbiased search results, which is a great problem. The ads shown to you are unlikely to help you find the most useful or accurate information, considering that they are most likely used to boost traffic to sites that are selling something. We cannot say that all sites promoted via Hoistsearch.com will be unreliable, but there is a huge risk of interacting with unreliable links. Our recommendation for you is to stop trusting this search tool at once.
