If you have already done that or it has shown up on your Internet Explorer/Mozilla Firefox/Google Chrome web browsers out of the blue, go to remove it today. Search.gsearch.io cannot be considered a trustworthy search provider, specialists at 411-spyware.com say, so if you let it stay, its presence will only bring problems. This search tool has even been classified as a browser hijacker because it can show up on all users’ web browsers without permission, but it seems that it is only one of several drawbacks this browser hijacker has. Researchers suspect that this search tool might also display the modified search results to users. Last but not least, it is very likely that it will collect information about you trying to find more about your interests each time you use it to perform web searches. You are the one who can decide what to do with this dubious search provider, but we suggest that you do not make a final decision until you read this article till the end because the information you will find here might change your opinion about Search.gsearch.io dramatically.

If you have already discovered Search.gsearch.io set as a homepage on your browsers, it means that all of them have already been hijacked. At first glance, the website set might look like an ordinary search provider, but you should know that it is not. It has been observed that some of the search results it shows to users are the modified search results. It might seem that they do not differ at all from ordinary search results, but it is not true. If you use Search.gsearch.io and click on them all fearlessly, you might one day end up on an untrustworthy page promoting a bunch of bad applications. It might be enough to visit this page or click a bad link located on it once to allow those unreliable programs to enter the system. You also have a right to know how Search.gsearch.io treats your privacy. Specialists at 411-spyware.com have inspected the Privacy Policy document of this search tool thoroughly, so now they know what to expect from it. It has turned out that it should not gather any personal details, but its author might “receive Personally Identifiable Information about you from third parties.” Additionally, it has become clear what types of non-personally identifiable information it records automatically: cookies information, location data, device identifiers, and more. All these recorded details should not identify you personally, but it does not mean that you should allow an untrustworthy search provider to track you. It will not record details about you anymore only if you erase it, so take action today.

Search.gsearch.io does not differ from other browser hijackers previously analyzed by our specialists in a sense that it also enters computers illegally in most cases. In other words, users do not set Search.gsearch.io voluntarily on their web browsers. Research has clearly shown that this infection usually arrives on their PCs bundled with software promoted on such file-sharing websites as filewon.com, filewin.com, and descargar.es. If you have recently installed a new application downloaded from the web, there is no doubt that the Search.gsearch.io browser hijacker has arrived on your computer together with it. To be honest, it does not really matter which one of the distribution methods was used because you still cannot keep this dubious search tool set on any of your browsers.
