About Iesearch.com

Iesearch.comis a browser hijacker that is responsible for the changes made to your browser. Before you start worrying, we can say that it is a rather low-level infection that will not damage to your computer directly. However, that does not mean you should not delete Iesearch.com as soon as it appears on your computer. While, not common, it could expose you to malware-ridden page and some kind of malicious software could download onto your computer without you even noticing. In general, it may try to redirect you to sponsored pages. This is why we strongly suggest you remove Iesearch.com. In case you are wondering how it managed to enter your computer, we can assure you that you allowed it yourself. It uses a sneaky method known as bundling to enter and that means that it was attached to freeware as an extra item.

How does Iesearch.com spread?

Browser hijackers use the bundling method to infect computers because not many users pay attention to how they install programs. In order to prevent attached items from installing alongside the freeware, use Advanced or Custom settings during installation. In those settings you will see what has been added and you will also be given the option of deselecting what has been those items. Rushing in Default settings will not take less time because all you have to do is uncheck a couple of boxes. You might even save time because you will not have to uninstall Iesearch.com or similar later on.

You might not even remember granting authorization for those modifications and you would not be the only one. Seeing as it does it without your permission, there is no reason you should put up with it.
