Searchgle.com is the name of a browser hijacker, that takes the place of the homepage of every web browser installed in your computer (we have been able to verify that this program can affect either Chrome, Firefox or Internet Explorer).
This unwanted program is usually set in place in your computer, when you install programs you have downloaded from the net. If you add some new program to your PC it’s important that you always remember to customize the install process to stop any adware from infecting your system.
Some programs and websites like download.com earn a commission every time Searchgle.com is successfully installed in a user’s web browser, which explains the discrete manner of its installation.
Besides being installed in your computer without your explicit approval, Searchgle.com‘s creators will also make money through you by inserting sponsored links among the search results it will show you: each visit to their website makes money for them.
Searchgle.com attempts to imitate Google’s visual look to trick users into trust the search engine. Make no mistakes, the only similarity resides on looks.
Searchgle.com is also used to show a fake security alert about some made-up urgent issue. This message contains a link towards a commercial website where they will offer you an alleged anti-spyware software that will fix the issue. Usually this seller is no other than Searchgle.com’s developer, and thus it makes even more money through users it has deceived.
