What is Bestqualitysearch.com?
Bestqualitysearch.com is yet another useless search page in your browsers that does not even work. Most likely you did not install it knowingly or on purpose. This infection could have slithered onto your system in a suspicious way; therefore, you may not remember how you let it in. Our malware researchers have classified this threat as a browser hijacker. Such infections usually come as a surprise even if the browser setting changes are usually indicated during the installation; even though this “indication” could be a bit tricky or difficult to see. Schemers can make misleading installers to try to make sure that impatient and unsuspecting computer users would not spot such setting changes and would let the promoted hijacker on board. Since there is a good chance that this infection has entered your system with a company of other malware threats, we suggest that you remove Bestqualitysearch.com right away.
Where does Bestqualitysearch.com come from?
Infection with a browser hijacker always starts with a click. This click is usually on a questionable third-party advertisement, such as a banner and pop-up, or a link on a modified search result page. You may already know that such third-party ads can be displayed by adware programs hiding on your system or suspicious file-sharing and gambling websites you may land on while browsing. However, you may not be aware that browser hijackers, such as this one, can alter search results to include promoted third parties’ ads and links. But as you can see, these can be unreliable, too. One click, and you may install this browser hijacker directly.
We believe that it is more likely that you install Bestqualitysearch.com via freeware bundles containing several malicious software installers. Many users may not know that installing bundles is not without risks. As a matter of fact, a lot of people choose to do the quick install option instead of going for the custom or advanced option. Unfortunately, this is why they may not realize that they let such a browser hijacker on board, not to mention other malware infections, such as Trojans, adware programs, browser hijackers, and potentially unwanted programs as well. However, if you pay close attention to the installation wizard, you may notice the designated checkboxes to untick if you do not want certain changes or components to be installed. If there is a chance that this is how you got infected, we highly recommend that you delete Bestqualitysearch.com and scan your system with a proper malware scanner to find every single threat hiding on your PC.
How does Bestqualitysearch.com work?
As we have already mentioned, this search engine does not seem to work at all. In fact, our malware researchers have found that there are a number of other very similar search engine pages residing on the same server, including lookupopinion.com, opinionfind.com, and searchbent.com. This search engine page offers you an opportunity to change your browser window background by clicking on one of five small thumbnail images below the search field. This function at least works, but we cannot say the same about the search itself. If you type in any keywords, you will be redirected to an error page that says that there are no matches for your query. This is highly impossible when you try to run a web search on “Google” for instance. Do you think any reputable or working search engines would come up with a “no match found” page for that keyword? Well, Bestqualitysearch.com certainly does.
We believe that it is likely that the creators of these seemingly out of order search engines are simply waiting till their hijackers spread widely enough looking all harmless and then they will switch on full throttle. But it is also possible that nothing will ever happen and they are just practicing even though it does not make any sense. Nevertheless, this browser hijacker was most likely created with the very same intention as all its peers: To make money for its creators. This is only possible through manipulated search results. However, if you click on such results and you are unlucky, you may end up on a fake website run by cyber criminals who may scam you in all kinds of ways. If you do not want to lose your banking or personal details, you should not hesitate to remove Bestqualitysearch.com from your browsers.
