EmailDefendSearch.com or Search.EmailDefendSearch.com are url addresses whose installation is due to the presence of a browser hijacker on your system. A browser hijacker is a program whose main goal is to modify all your browser’s settings. They go mainly after your homepage and your default search engine, that’s the case at least with EmailDefendSearch.com, although other browser hijackers could also modify the new tab welcome page, the 404 page and won’t mind adding many links on your favorites tab.
Why would they have any interest in changing so many of your browser’s settings? Simply to force users to use EmailDefendSearch.com as search engine instead of using Google. First of all, most browser hijackers will try their best to imitate Google’s visual look so they can trick inexperienced users into staying with the modified settings. You turn into a money machine for EmailDefendSearch.com’s creators every time you use their search engine, specially with all the sponsored links that will disguise themselves as search results, but that’s not the only way. EmailDefendSearch.com‘s developers put themselves in the best position to know everything there’s to know about your browsing activity through a hidden task or process that will also make sure EmailDefendSearch.com stays installed as long as possible.
