At first sight, Search.browsersearch.net looks like a completely normal search engine because it shows a search field, and it seemingly provides you with the option to browse the web using Google Search and Bing Search tools. Unfortunately, it seems that this tool simply hides behind well-known search providers to conceal its true nature, which is to show sponsored links. There is nothing wrong with sponsored links – ignoring the fact that they can be extremely annoying – unless the parties standing behind them are malicious. Unfortunately, Anti-Spyware-101.com research ream cannot guarantee that the parties working with AirFind Corp. (the developer of the search engine) are trustworthy. Do we recommend using this search tool? Of course, we do not. On the contrary, we believe that it is a browser hijacker that deserves immediate removal. Hopefully, you do not need to erase any other threats, and you can delete Search.browsersearch.net using the instructions below. If other infections exist, you might need to take a different route.

Mobisearch.co, as its name suggests, is a search engine that is mainly developed for mobile phones; however, it has caught our malware experts' attention since it may not be as innocent as it looks at first sight. In fact, this search engine is an identical clone of Search.myportal.us and Websrch.net, which have also emerged recently on the web. Since the developer company, Airfind Corp, claims to be a content monetizer, you can imagine that this search engine was not designed with the goal of providing you the best and most relevant search results in the quickest possible way, but, instead, the main purpose is to serve advertisers and other mobile-related companies to provide promotional surface. This is why any third-party content coming from this search engine might be risky to click on. By using this search engine, you could be exposed to questionable third-party advertisements and modified search results that can pose a threat to your virtual security. This is why we recommend that you remove Mobisearch.co from your computer or mobile device as soon as possible. Read more »

Search.myportal.us is a new search engine page you cannot trust and one that is not even new in the sense that our malware experts at anti-spyware-101.com have already tested its identical twin called Websrch.net.

Engaging with such content is always risky and can result in dropping further infections onto your system or getting redirected to fake websites operated by cyber criminals where you could be scammed and lose money from your bank account. All in all, we recommend that you remove Search.myportal.us as soon as possible because you could only make things worse if you kept this search engine in your browsers. Please carry on reading our article to learn more about this threat and how you may be able to avoid similar ones in the future. Read more »
