Searchbijen.com is a browser hijacker, a term that encloses programs that hijack your own web browser settings to replace them with their own. Any modifications done will be performed without your knowledge and might include your default homepage, 404 page and search engine; all this is done in order to force the user to use pages he/she never chose.
The program behind Searchbijen.com is the one in charge of quietly changing several web browser settings, as said before including the default homepage among others that will be of use in achieving the goal of forcing the user upon different websites from the ones previously chosen.
This unwanted program is usually installed on your system without your knowledge along with some free program you found online.
Certain programs or websites like softonic get paid for every single successful Searchbijen.com install, which is why they make an effort to keep this install as quiet as possible, although we must remember that if there’s not at least one tiny mention of Searchbijen.com being installed, such execution becomes illegal.
Most browser hijackers, including Searchbijen.com are built to include necessary measures to stop you from rolling back any changes this program has made. They can include ways to reestablish Searchbijen.com every time the system is restarted, or add links within the web browser and in some cases they might have their own Windows services working around the clock for them.
