Queryrouter Search Removal

What is Queryrouter Search?

Queryrouter Search is a browser hijacker that comes bundled with free applications to be able to appear on computers unnoticed. Once this infection is inside the system, it changes settings on all popular browsers by setting itself as a homepage and search engine. It makes those changes to make sure that users see it every day and use it as a tool for searching the web. It is not advisable to use Queryrouter Search to search the web, not to mention let it stay on browsers. All search tools that are set on browsers without permission are considered unreliable and should not be trusted by any means.

What does Queryrouter Search do?

As has already been mentioned, users discover Queryrouter Search set on their browsers without permission, so this website is called a browser hijacker rather than a reputable search provider. It cannot be called trustworthy due to a number of different commercial advertisements located on its search results page. As has been found, redirections to bad websites might occur if this search tool is kept and its search feature is used by a user, i.e. it is used as a default search provider. Nothing bad will happen if users do not click on these advertisements, but, unfortunately, it is hardly possible to avoid them because they look like other search results. It is quite dangerous to use Queryrouter Search as a tool for searching the web because it might itself perform one bad activity. No, we are not talking about these ads users are provided with. It has also been found that it might seek to gather various personal details that can personally identify users. This information might even be sold or simply sent to partners, i.e. third parties. There is only one solution to the problem – go to uninstall Queryrouter Search immediately.
