Fetchsearch.com Removal Guide

Fetchsearch.com is known to be a browser hijacker, so do not be surprised if it appears on your browsers without permission one day. In most cases, it changes homepages and search providers without permission, so it is very similar to gotsearch.co.uk and asiasearch.co hijackers. At first sight, it might really seem that Fetchsearch.com is a good search engine that will enable you to search for the information in the following categories: web, images, videos, news, and shopping; however, the truth is that it is not so reliable and it might even cause harm to your system. According to the researchers at 411-spyware.com, there is also a small possibility that Fetchsearch.com will collect information about your browsing activities, and it does not matter whether you use Internet Explorer, Google Chrome, or Mozilla Firefox.

Even though Fetchsearch.com looks like a normal search provider, it differs from Google, Yahoo!, and other trustworthy search engines because it can provide users with the modified search results after they enter something into the search box and want to find out the information associated with the entered keyword on the web. These “modified search results” are comprised of sponsored links and third-party advertisements. Unfortunately, they might lead to untrustworthy web pages if you click on them, so, in our opinion, it would be best if you simply ignore them all now and start using another search engine. Furthermore, research carried out by our team of specialists has shown that Fetchsearch.com might record some information about users. Most probably, it will gather data associated with users’ browsing activities. These details are non-personally identifiable; however, you should still be cautious because it is likely that Fetchsearch.com might collect confidential info too, according to our specialists.
