Searchvvay.com, a questionable search engine, may appear in your browsers as your new home page, when a browser hijacker infiltrates your system. This can happen after you install a free software package you have downloaded from an unreliable file-sharing website or an other shady page. This browser hijacker may expose you to unsafe third-party web content. Therefore, its presence is undesirable to say the least. But this hijacker may only be part of your security issues as several more malware infections may have entered your computer alongside this threat. Now you may be facing multiple virtual security threats that can only get worse if you do not act now. We advise you to remove Searchvvay.com right away. But you should not forget about the rest of the potential risk sources either. Please read on to find out more about this browser hijacker and how it can pose a threat to your system.

Based on user reports and our research, we can tell you that this hijacker mostly spreads on the web in freeware bundles that may contain other malware infections as well. It is a common trend for schemers to pack a number of adware applications, browser hijackers, Trojans as well as potentially unwanted programs together with a legitimate third-party free program. These bundled installers then are spread through questionable gaming, dating, pornographic, torrent, and freeware pages. These sites are visited by hundreds of thousands of people every day. No wonder that these are full of potentially harmful third-party ads as well. Many of these ads are totally misleading or they are downright disguised and unrecognizable. This means that you may think that you are clicking on a Next-page button, but, unfortunately, you are actually clicking on a corrupt ad that drops a malicious bundle onto your computer or opens a malicious page that will do the same job. If you end up with such a package on your PC, you should not hesitate to run a reliable online malware scanner to find out how infected your system is. But before you do that, you can delete Searchvvay.com from your browsers without a second thought if you do not want to end up on more questionable pages.

This browser hijacker seems to be most “popular” in the following countries: Qatar 35.2%, Algeria 11.6%, and India 9.6%. However, this does not mean that it cannot show up in your browsers in the US or any other part of the world. Once this hijacker sneaks onto your computer, it changes your home page settings in all three major browsers: Mozilla Firefox, Google Chrome, and Internet Explorer. This way you are exposed to the potentially unreliable content this search page can introduce you to every time you open any of these browsers. As a matter of fact, this search page does not even use its own engine to display search results for you. Instead, it redirects all your queries to a possibly modified Google search results page on a new tab. Many browser hijackers use this trick in order to deceive inexperienced computer users.

Thinking that you are on a well-known and reputable search engine page, you may regard all content as trustworthy. However, if you come to this Google search page through this browser hijacker, chances are the results are altered and contain potentially harmful third-party ads and sponsored links. This is the only way this hijacker can generate money for its creators. It is all about your clicks on the promoted content, which, by the way, could be completely indistinguishable from the normal results. Clicking on such content could take you to malicious websites, which can end up very badly for you if you are unlucky. Infecting your computer with more malicious programs is only one thing; you may well become the next victim in an online scam as well. If you want to protect yourself and your virtual world from such unfortunate consequences, we advise you to remove Searchvvay.com ASAP.

In order to put an end to the exposure to risky content, you should reset all your browsers. Please follow our instructions below if you are not familiar with this process. It is also important that you make sure that there are no other infections on your computer if you want to use a secure PC. It is possible that you cannot deal with all threats manually; therefore, we suggest that you install a reliable malware removal application that will automatically protect your system from all existing malware infections.
