What is Indiasearch-results.com?
Indiasearch-results.com, according to Anti-Spyware-101.com research, is a browser hijacker that could potentially corrupt such browsers as Google Chrome, Mozilla Firefox, or Internet Explorer. The interface of this hijacker might remind you of a regular search engine, but it does not function like one; at least, not at this moment. Right now, if you enter keywords into the provided search engine, you are routed to a page that shows this message: “We apologize for the inconvenience, but we weren't able to find results for this query.” It does not matter which keywords you enter; the search tool simply does not work. Of course, if it did, we would not recommend trusting it anyway. So, whether you installed this hijacker yourself or it corrupted your browser without your permission, we recommend deleting it without hesitation. Continue reading to learn more and find a guide that shows how to remove Indiasearch-results.com manually.
How does Indiasearch-results.com work?
It appears that the suspicious Indiasearch-results.com comes from the same family as other browser hijackers, including Boxedsearch.com and Bonzersearch.com. All three of these threats do not work at the moment, but it looks like they are operated by the same party. While the home pages of all of these hijackers are unique, the Privacy Policy, Terms and Conditions, About, and Contact information is identical (if you ignore the font and the font size used). There is nothing too shocking or surprising in the Privacy Policy and Terms and Conditions statements, but they disclose that cookies are used to record some information about the users and their activity. Cookies are not malicious unless they record personally identifiable information and then share with undisclosed third parties. If you ever face a program that uses intrusive tracking cookies, you should delete it immediately. The Privacy Policy representing Indiasearch-results.com also informs that third-party links are represented via the hijacker. Since it is meant to work as a search engine – in which case, it is normal to have third-party links represented via it – sponsored content unrelated to the search queries could be displayed.
There is very little information about Indiasearch-results.com, and since it does not work right now, it is hard to say whether or not the search results shown by it could be trusted. Unfortunately, if it worked, there is a great possibility that it would showcase sponsored content. This content could be shown to you along with third-party links, and you could end up interacting with it without realizing it. What could happen if you clicked on the third-party links? It is possible that nothing would happen because there are plenty of unreliable advertisers who are paid to promote harmless services and websites. On the other hand, there are plenty of unreliable hijackers who work with malicious parties and schemers, and the content shown by them could be used to scam users and expose them to misleading offers and notifications. Of course, we cannot guarantee that this is how Indiasearch-results.com operates, but if this hijacker has corrupted your browser, and the search tool offered by it works, you have to be cautious about the potentially unreliable search results. This could be a reason to delete the hijacker.
How to remove Indiasearch-results.com
Indiasearch-results.com is an incredibly suspicious threat that we recommend removing from your operating system. Now, when it comes to the removal, there is a possibility that you will need to delete third-party malware to get rid of the hijacker. Was it introduced to you along with a suspicious extension or an application? If it was, the chances are that you will have Indiasearch-results.com deleted only if you get rid of this extension/application. On the other hand, if this hijacker stands on its own, resetting the corrupted browser might be the best option. Of course, because there is a possibility that third-party malware is involved, we strongly recommend scanning your PC before you do anything. If you can get rid of the infection using the guides below, great, but if more serious threats are running wild, consider utilizing real and trustworthy anti-malware software.
