websearch.homesearch-hub.info is a webpage directly related to websearch.lookforithere.info and websearch.searchrocket.info. It is a search engine that provides customized search service and at first glance it seems that there is nothing wrong with it, but quite often this website is considered to be a part of a browser hijacker infection.

Therefore, do not hesitate to remove websearch.homesearch-hub.info immediately.

This website does not make use of Trojans or other computer infections to enter a new system.

However, almost any third party can embed ads into websearch.homesearch-hub.info and it can present security issues as cyber criminals could embed ads with outgoing links to malicious websites that host malware.
