What is Lovesearchweb.com?
If you are not sure how Lovesearchweb.com got in, it is possible that it has hijacked your browser illegally. If this is the situation, you must need no explanation as to why this threat is classified as a threat. Now, if you have installed it yourself, the chances are that you have been tricked into thinking that this tool is useful, or you might have decided that it is better than your regular homepage. In any case, the infection is most likely to be spread via bundled installers because an official installer does not exist, and it does not appear to be linked to any app that has an official installer. Obviously, if malicious infections have managed to slither into your operating system along with the hijacker, you need to remove them as soon as possible. Since these infections could be much more dangerous, we suggest scanning your operating system before you continue reading this report. If the scanner finds critical threats, you will need to get rid of them before you shift your focus on deleting Lovesearchweb.com.
How does Lovesearchweb.com work?
Lovesearchweb.com is part of the ELEX family of hijackers, and so it is similar to MyBeginning123.com, MyLuckySearching.com, and other infamous hijackers in some ways. For one, they usually use third-party search engines to deliver search results. First of all, do you really think that a search tool that uses a third-party tool to show results is useful? We are sure you do not. Second, were you aware of the redirecting before you installed the search tool – if you installed it yourself – or before you entered your search keywords? If you were not, the hijacker must have redirected you illegally, and that is not a good sign. Unfortunately, Lovesearchweb.com redirects to Google Search, which, of course, many users trust and enjoy. Well, even if you are familiar with google.com, you should not interact with the search results that are shown after you get redirected to this engine. Why? That is because the hijacker could modify the search results to include sponsored links, interacting with which could be dangerous. Needless to say, that is the primary reason for you to remove this hijacker ASAP.
Another thing that confuses users is the interface of Lovesearchweb.com, which, by the way, can change because it has already done that. The latest version of this hijacker showcases links to popular sites (e.g., facebook.com and instagram.com), displays the time and date, and provides you with access to online games. Although it appears that all links are legitimate, you should be cautious when interacting with them because you never know how the hijacker could be modified. You also need to be cautious about tracking cookies. Though the Privacy Policy representing Lovesearchweb.com suggests that the cookies used by this hijacker do not record personal information, we cannot guarantee that third-party cookies capable of tracking personal data will not be installed when you interact with sponsored content, the online games, and other links represented via the hijacker. If you are worried that intrusive cookies might have been placed, open the browser, tap Ctrl+Shift+Delete, and remove the cookies.
