What is Viceice.com?

In most cases, you can at least research a Privacy Policy, End User License Agreement, or some other document. In this case, you are provided with a contact form, but this is not enough.

How does Viceice.com work?
Anti-Spyware-101.com researchers have found that Viceice.com is very similar to Surfvox.com. Both of these search tools are very unpredictable and mysterious, and both of them use Google Custom Search. Even though this search provider is supported by Google, you must keep in mind that the parties employing it can customize it. Unfortunately, the search results might be modified, and this could be very dangerous. For example, you could be exposed to unreliable sponsored links that could route you to unreliable sites. In the best case scenario, you will be shown harmless or even useful offers, but there is also a scenario where these ads injected are misleading and dangerous. Hopefully, you will consider this before you decide that the suspicious search tool is trustworthy and beneficial.
It is surprising that computer users put up with Viceice.com. After all, this search tool is just a less reliable version of Google Search, which is a free search tool that anyone can use. Sure, the suspicious Viceice.com provides links to Youtube, Gmail, Facebook, and other useful services, but you can access them via the Google Apps menu that is shown on google.com. In fact, most users do not actually choose to install this search tool knowing what it offers. In most cases, it comes as a free addition along with third-party programs, some of which could be much more malicious. Regardless of how this search tool accessed your browsers, Anti-Spyware-101.com researchers recommend getting rid of it.
