Where does Searchvvay.com come from?
This hijacker seems to be spreading through middle-eastern countries and it mostly infects the following countries: Qatar (35.2%), Algeria (11.6%), India (9.6%), and Poland (6.4%). This however does not stop this browser hijacker to emerge anywhere in the world. The reason behind its flexibility to spread all over the place is that it mostly travels in malicious bundles. This means that this infection can be found promoted on shady websites that host a lot of unsafe third-party advertisements. Clicking on such ads can drop a bundle of malicious software installers onto your machine. Therefore, it is vital that you avoid such pages and clicking on ads if you want to prevent malware infections from entering your PC.
It is possible that such a bundle contains a couple of browser hijackers, adware applications, and potentially unwanted programs.

What many users do not know is that they have an opportunity usually to opt out of the installation of unwanted browser changes and tools. However, inexperienced users may simply overlook this major step during the installation process and they practically allow these malware infections on board. If this may have happened to you, too, we suggest that you remove Searchvvay.com and run a full-system malware scan to see how many other threats are endangering the performance and security of your PC.
How does Searchvvay.com work?
This browser hijacker is not different from most of its peers. Our malware researchers at anti-spyware-101.com say that you should stick with a preferred and reputable search engine, such as Google, Bing, and Yahoo. This questionable search engine may expose you to modified search results. It may collect information about you in order to be able to target you with customized third-party ads and sponsored links, which are integrated into the third-party search engine page it redirects your queries to. In this case, Searchvvay.com reroutes your searches to a possibly altered Google results page that loads into a new tab. This is a typical misleading technique browser hijackers tend to use to deceive users. Landing on a Google search results page may make you believe that you can trust all the content on that page. However, this time it could be risky because this page may hide corrupt links to malicious websites. Since this hijacker generates income through third-party advertising, you can be sure that there will be a number of potentially unreliable ads and links on this manipulated search results page. If you do not want to end up in the center of an online scam or infect your computer with more threats, you should delete Searchvvay.com right now.
