Where does Sucheentdeckung.com come from?

The developers of this particular search engine have supposedly tailored it for the German-speaking audience. However, apart from the address name there is nothing German about it. Sucheentdeckung.com looks identical to previously released browser hijackers, such as Searchapprove.com, Livesmartsearch.com, and Searchonlinenow.net, among others. All of these browser hijackers come from the same developer that still continues to roll out new browser hijackers. According to Sucheentdeckung.com, “Suche Entdeckung is a privately owned company based in ASIA and serving customers globally.” That is all of the information provided about this secretive developer, so we think it tells a lot about this search engine’s reliability.

Our malware researchers at Anti-spyware-101.com have found that Sucheentdeckung.com is currently distributed using malicious software bundles that are bound to contain potentially unwanted programs, adware, and bad toolbars. This browser hijacker does not come with its dedicated program or browser extension. Sucheentdeckung.com is set as the browser homepage during the installation of a malicious software bundle. Therefore, there are no obstructions to its deletion as you will see at the end of this description.

How does Sucheentdeckung.com work?

For the most part, Sucheentdeckung.com works just like any other search engine. However, our researchers are very concerned with the fact that this browser hijacker is prone to include promotional links of questionable legitimacy inside its search results. So Sucheentdeckung.com may include promotions of potentially unwanted programs that have various security issues of their own. Of course it may also promote completely legitimate software and other content as well. However, we want to point out that not all of its promotions can be trusted as this search engine’s main purpose is to generate advertising revenue. Its privacy policy states: “Please be aware that these external sites are developed by people over whom we have no control, and we are not responsible for their privacy practices.” So there you have it. It is obvious that the developers do not want to take responsibility for potentially malicious content. Therefore, we recommend that you delete this browser hijacker.
