The Findsmartresults.com website may create the impression that it exists to help users achieve better and more accurate results when searching the Web. However, after analyzing it, researchers discovered that the page belongs to a dubious search engine that delivers low-quality results, which may include numerous sponsored advertisements. The included promoted links may not even be relevant to the terms of the user's search query. Findsmartresults.com appears to be almost completely identical to another similarly shady search engine known as Smartanswersoinline.com.
Search engines of this type are often promoted via questionable methods, including intrusive browser hijacker apps. Findsmartresults.com is not an exception. The related application modifies browsers' settings (homepage, new tab page and default search engine) and sets them to now open the sponsored page. As a consequence, users will be redirected to the unfamiliar search engine every time they launch the affected browser, open a new tab or attempt to conduct a search via the URL bar.
Unfortunately, having a PUP active on the computer or device may lead to additional risks. These annoying applications may establish persistence mechanisms, making their manual removal far more difficult. They also could prevent users from changing the affected browser settings back to their original state. PUPs are also infamous for often possessing data-tracking capabilities. They may monitor users' browsing activities, harvest device details, or attempt to extract account credentials and banking/payment information from browsers' autofill data.
