Isearch123.com Removal

What is Isearch123.com?

Isearch123.com is a browser hijacker that enters your computer with the help of free third party software. It alters your browser settings such as home page and default search provider. It may also add an extension to your browsers that will bombard you with commercial data. Because of this data your surfing speed will considerably decrease. Other symptoms that you may notice include constant redirects to unfamiliar websites and slower PC performance. If you want to get rid of these symptoms, you will have to terminate Isearch123.com.

How does Isearch123.com work?

The main webpage of the hijacker is Isearch123.com. It appears on your screen as soon as the hijacker takes over and contains a search box, search parameters, and links to Terms, Privacy, About, and Uninstall. If you click on About, you will be presented with a text, which states that the goal of Isearch123.com is to be a “leading supplier of search technology solutions.” In reality, however, if you enter a query into the search box provided on the page, it will simply redirect you to Search.yahoo.com.

We do not recommend clicking on these or any other advertisements that are brought to you by the hijacker. It would be best to eliminate this data altogether. The only way to do that is to delete Isearch123.com from your browsers.
