What is Searchvzcc.com?
If your all browsers load a new website Searchvzcc.com when you launch them, it means that they have all been hijacked. Some users do not find the changes applied to their browsers a huge problem because they do not really care which search tool to use. We are sure they would care if they knew that Searchvzcc.com is a browser hijacker which might cause a bunch of problems to them. The fact that it does not need permission to replace a default homepage immediately makes this search tool untrustworthy. Second, it has been noticed that it might perform other undesirable activities.

What does Searchvzcc.com do?
Searchvzcc.com is one of those websites promoted as legitimate search providers. It is similar to other search tools developed by the same company, Polarity Technologies Ltd, for example, Search.yourclassifiedscenter.com, Search.searcheasyra.com, and Search.searchctp.com, so it is not surprising that it acts just like these listed search tools. As you already know, it is capable of changing users’ web browsers settings without permission. In most cases, users find it set in the place of their homepages. Second, it is similar to other search tools developed by this company in a sense that it might provide users with the modified search results. These search results might cause you problems. Since they are shown to users for advertising purposes, they contain links opening third-party websites. Users are taken straight to these websites if they click on a modified search result. Unfortunately, not all these third-party websites are decent. Theoretically, some of them might even be administered by cyber criminals - Searchvzcc.com does not care about the users’ safety at all, so users might be presented with dangerous links too. Of course, since people do not know that the search tool they use is untrustworthy, they do not know that untrustworthy search results might be displayed for them either, so there is a very huge possibility that they will eventually click on those modified search results. You might be one of them if you do not remove Searchvzcc.com from browsers today.

If it continues performing this activity on your computer, issues related to your online privacy will definitely emerge sooner or later because Searchvzcc.com might disclose the gathered data to third parties.
