What is Search.searchbuscar.com?
Was Search.searchbuscar.com set as your homepage without your permission? That is unlikely to happen, but if your homepage was hijacked illegally, the first thing you need to do is recognize that you have faced a threat. If your homepage was changed with your notice, are you confident that you know everything about this suspicious search tool that Anti-Spyware-101.com malware analysts classify as a browser hijacker? If you knew everything about this suspicious threat, it is unlikely that you would have allowed its installation. We have thoroughly researched this hijacker in our internal lab, and we have prepared information that might change your mind about it; that is if you believe it to be harmless. If you already know about the risks associated with keeping this hijacker installed, you might want to remove this infection right away. If that is the case, read the last section of the report to learn more about the options you have when it comes to deleting Search.searchbuscar.com. Also note that the comments section below can be used to initiate discussions about anything regarding this threat.
How does Search.searchbuscar.com work?
Did you know that Search.searchbuscar.com is associated with a company that is linked to hundreds of other browser hijackers? This company is Polarity Technologies Ltd, and it is also responsible for the suspicious Search.searcheazel.com and Search.searchsolod.com hijackers, both of which are identical to the threat we are discussing right now. All of these hijackers promote links to the same websites, and they all have the “Descargar” tag in the right-top corner of the home page. In the past, this tag was used to represent the names of extensions that the hijackers are associated with, but we have not found an add-on by the name “Descargar” that would be linked to Search.searchbuscar.com. In fact, we do not know if this add-on exists at all. If the hijacker was introduced to you via the add-on, you might have to remove it to get rid of the hijacker itself. Of course, other pieces of software could be involved as well. If you are not exactly sure which threats you are dealing with, we advise scanning your operating system with an up-to-date malware scanner. If any infections are active, you will find out right away.
Although the distribution of Search.searchbuscar.com could be a reason to delete it, there are more concrete reasons for that. First of all, this hijacker redirects you to Yahoo Search, and it does not even matter that this search engine is considered reliable. The creator of the hijacker wants you to trust the information that is provided to you via this engine because sponsored links are likely to be fed via it. The second reason for removing Search.searchbuscar.com is that it can leak personal information to unknown parties, which, of course, can be exceptionally dangerous. Even if that is not the intention of the creator of the threat, private information can be recorded if you enter it in while using the hijacker. Do you want to put your virtual security at risk for relatively useless services provided to you by a suspicious search tool? We are sure that you do not want that.
