Websearch.searchtheglobe.info

Websearch.searchtheglobe.info is a browser hijacker that computer users usually find on their IE, Firefox, and Chrome browsers. Even though the search engine is unlikely to be installed without your consent, our malware researchers have discovered that computer users often install the search tool without realizing it. If you download software offered on torrent sites, you could initiate bundled installers, and, as you know, software bundles can be used to promote all kinds of applications, some of which might even require removal. We believe that you should remove Websearch.searchtheglobe.info as well.

According to the recent researcher conducted by our malware experts, Websearch.searchtheglobe.info is usually spread with the help of Installrex installers. You might be familiar with this name if you take your time to read our security news reports. Installrex installers are usually employed for the distribution of Justplugit apps, YoutubeAdBlocker, EZDownloader, Optimizer Pro, and various other unreliable programs that we recommend removing. Note that you might have to delete undesirable programs after installing Websearch.searchtheglobe.info, because it is unlikely that this program will travel alone. Unfortunately, it is most likely that the programs installed with what we call a hijacker are unreliable and deserve removal.

According to our researchers, Websearch.youwillfind.info, Websearch.simplespeedy.info, and Websearch.a-searchpage.info are the clones of Websearch.searchtheglobe.info. In fact, it is impossible to count how many clones there are, but we are certain of one thing – all clones work in the same way. If you postpone the removal of Websearch.searchtheglobe.info or other clones, you will have to deal with the tracking cookies spying on you, the random banner advertisements that potentially could route you to unreliable sites, and the sponsored search results that could promote unreliable offers. All in all, we recommend deleting Websearch.searchtheglobe.info because this search tool is not as beneficial as you might think. In fact, we consider this search tool to be a security threat that must be removed as soon as possible.
