Searchpig.net

If you want to avoid any computer malware problem, stay away from Searchpig.net. It may seem that this website provides sufficient search engine service, but the truth is that it is nothing else but a browser hijacker. For example, if you type "Mother's Day" into the website's search box, instead of providing you with relevant websites, your search results will be full of random online shopping sites, some of which do not even load. Such behavior is definitely very suspicious, and you should close Searchpig.net immediately, because there is a high possibility that this website is being exploited by cyber criminals for malware distribution.

What is more, if Searchpig.net is set as your home page and your default search engine, then you definitely have an infection on your computer, that changes your browser settings without your permission. With Searchpig.net set as your home page address, you are exposed to a number of redirections to suspicious and highly questionable websites. Not to mention that this search engine could also be responsible for displaying a number of pop-up advertisements that contain embedded links to possible corrupted websites. To put it simply - if you allow Searchpig.net to stay on your PC, you will end up being infected with serious computer threats sooner or later.

Your first step towards Searchpig.net removal should be a full system scan. Use SpyHunter free scanner to scan your computer for possible malware infections. If you detect any, then acquire a reliable antimalware tool immediately and remove Searchpig.net along with malware programs automatically. Do not try to remove dangerous infections manually unless you are a computer expert. In case your home page is still set as Searchpig.net even after the removal, then do the follow to restore default browser settings.
