What is Search.results-hub.com?

Search.results-hub.com can show up in your browser if you have installed some free software lately and the package contained a browser hijacker among other malware threats. That is why its presence can mean that your operating system is under attack by several infections. If you let these malware programs run amok on your PC, they may turn it upside down before long. This search engine has proved to be unreliable on several fronts. If you want to learn about the potential risks you may be facing and how you can remove Search.results-hub.com from your computer, please read our full report.

Where does Search.results-hub.com come from?

Unfortunately, this malware infection mostly travels in free software packages that may pack a number of malware infections together with an authentic free program. These bundles are rather misleading and can cause a lot of problems for unsuspecting computer users. This browser hijacker seems to come with Results Hub software, which mainly uses bundling as an easy and quick way to spread on the web.

If you have searched for freeware recently or even installed one, chances are you ended up on a questionable shareware site at one point. It is easy to be misled on such pages and, for example, click on fake download buttons. That is how most users get infected with these malicious bundles. So, if you have this browser hijacker on your computer, it is quite possible that there are more threats to worry about. Since deleting Search.results-hub.com will not be enough for you to feel totally safe in your virtual world, we advise you to remove all other related infections as well.

What does Search.results-hub.com do?

This is a completely useless tool in your browser since it uses redirection to Yahoo! search results instead of showing its own results page, which, by the way, “says hello” for a quick moment, but it gets abruptly overwritten by the Yahoo! page. Since this hijacker is capable of altering these results, you cannot trust them for a second. We do not advise you to click on any of the links for this reason.

It is also possible that this search engine will start showing you different types of third-party ads, including banners, pop-ups, and interstitials. These might hold potential risks for your virtual security since no one can guarantee the reliability of the websites you might land on. For example, you might be exposed to questionable websites that host unsafe third-party ads that may also be disguised as buttons or something useful to you. Clicking on those can cause more infections and more exposure to cyber criminals. Therefore, your only solution is to remove Search.results-hub.com if you would like to keep your PC secure.
