About this extension

E-Searches.com is a dubious website, promoted by a browser hijacker. If you find that the site is set as your homepage/new tabs, you likely have a hijacker on your hands. It’s not a serious infection, more an annoyance than anything, but it still is not recommended to keep it installed. Hijackers tend to redirect users to sponsored websites, some of which may end up being malicious.

E-Searches

This is done so that owners of those sites could earn more revenue from increased traffic. The users usually get nothing useful from this. Redirects usually happen via search engines that those questionable websites promote, so users should refrain from using them. And if they do, they need to avoid sponsored sites as carelessness could lead to a serious malware infection. It would not only be harder to get rid of, but it could also do serious damage to your computer. You should also start paying closer attention to how you install program in the future if you want to avoid unwanted programs, such as hijacker or adware. Those unwanted items come together with freeware, and you need to deselect them, which you will not be able to do if you rush installations. If you don’t remember setting the site as your homepage, you need to remove E-Searches.com.

How does it spread?

Browser hijackers are attached to freeware as extra offers, and you need to deselect them. This is easily done but you need to pay attention to freeware installation processes to do it, which is not what many users do. Read the information that is presented to you during program installation and always opt for Advanced or Custom settings when possible. They will make added offers visible, and you will be offered to deselect them. After you uncheck all the offers, you can proceed to install the program. Using Default settings is not recommended because added offers will not be visible. You generally cannot get serious infections this way but hijackers, adware and other unwanted programs can be very annoying not only to deal with but to get rid of as well.

Why delete E-Searches.com?

Hijackers are usually very noticeable infections because they change browser’s settings so that instead of the user’s set homepage, the hijacker’s promoted site loads. The changes are very evident because you will encounter them every time you open your browser, be it Internet Explorer, Google Chrome or Mozilla Firefox. Many users try to undo the changes as soon as they notice them, but they are prevented from doing so by the hijacker. So until you get rid of the infection, you will be unable to change the settings back. The advertised website looks pretty basic and it only has a search box on it. If you search for something using it, you may encounter sponsored content inserted into the results. Like we mentioned earlier, hijackers help site owners make more revenue, which is why it’s trying to redirect you. Those results may have little do with what you were actually looking for, so you should be able to avoid them. You should also know that not all of those sites will be secure. Some could lead to serious malware infections. In addition, the hijacker could be following your browsing, collecting information about what you search for and what ads would interest you. While it should not collect personal information, if you are concerned about your privacy, you should stop the PUP from knowing anything about you.
