What is Mysupersearch.net?
It is quite easy to end up with a questionable search engine like Mysupersearch.net in your browsers after you click on unreliable web content or install a freeware bundle. Since this search engine mostly uses questionable methods to spread on the web, it is quite likely that you do not even recall installing it. This search engine looks very simple so you may not even realize that the home page setting has changed in your browsers. The problem is that this would mean frequent exposure to the potentially unreliable third-party content this search engine page may display if you use it for web search. Leaving such a potential threat on your system could soon cause virtual security issues for you. That is why we suggest that you remove Mysupersearch.net as soon as possible. For more details about this risky search engine, please continue reading our report.
Where does Mysupersearch.net come from?
Whenever you find a new home page, such as a search website, in your browsers, it usually means that you visited suspicious websites, you clicked on unsafe third-party ads or search result links, you downloaded free software from shady sites, or your computer is infected with malware (e.g., adware and browser hijackers). But all these options really come down to one single click that launches the avalanche. It is vital that you try to avoid suspicious websites and not only when you want to download free stuff (audio or video files, programs, and books); there are websites that tend to host several unsafe third-party ads, including dating, gaming, gambling, and porn-related pages.
It is possible that while you are browsing a pop-up window appears that claims, for example, that you must update your Flash driver or else you will not see a certain video or other type of content. This could also be a flashing banner notification but the main thing is that your attention is drawn to it and if you are an inexperienced user, chances are you will click on this ad right away because you just do not know better. However, apart from simply being redirected to this search engine page, you may also drop a bundle of malware infections and potentially unwanted programs onto your computer if you are not careful.
This is how a lot of users infect their system with adware programs, browser hijackers, fake warnings, keyloggers, Trojans, and so on. Imagine having such threats on your system at the same time. Do you think they could cause some system security problems? Well, we do not want you to wait and see what happens. Instead, we recommend that you delete Mysupersearch.net and scan your computer with a trustworthy online malware scanner to detect all other possibly harmful programs and threats as well. Of course, once you have the results, you need to handle this situation because a scanner will not clean your system.
How does Mysupersearch.net work?
This search engine is supposed to provide you with web search results that can be filtered, as a matter of fact. For example, if you try to search anything related to porn or adult content, you may see an empty results page returned. Of course, this is not why we recommend that you remove Mysupersearch.net. This search engine may gather data about your online activities, such as what kind of sites you visit, how much time you spend there, what types of ads you tend to click on, your IP address and other personally non-identifiable information. Based on this, customized web content can be sent to your screen. So when you run a web search, you may find that the results page is filled with ads, sponsored pages, and links that actually match your interests, and sometimes it may even feel like that this search engine can read your mind. This is how you may see, for example, an ad about a product you have been wanted to buy and now it seems to be sold for an amazing price. Do you think you would click on this ad right away? It is possible, right? Well, this is how you may end up on a fake online shop site and share your credit card details with cyber criminals, and get robbed. We do not want to say that this can happen every time you search the web with this search engine, but it is certainly a possibility. This is why it would be the safest for you to remove Mysupersearch.net from your browsers.
