FoxSearch.me

The site on hxxp://foxsearch[.]me was mentioned in reports of browser hijacking from the first week of December 2017. The FoxSearch.me site is associated with free programs that may modify the browser's settings and make FoxSearch.me the default new tab and start page in Web clients like Google Chrome, Internet Explorer, Edge and Firefox. Web surfers who are surprised to see FoxSearch.me when loading the browser and opening a new tab page may think that the site is related to the Mozilla Foundation, which develops and maintains the Firefox project. However, FoxSearch.me has nothing to do with the Mozilla Foundation and the site functions as a redirect-gateway to the legitimate version of Google.com. PC users who may have installed the FoxSearch.me browser hijacker are likely to notice that using the search bar on FoxSearch.me redirects them to hxxp://google.com/search?q=[search term]&gws_rd=cr&dcr=0&ei=lzYlWtjdLsS1UcCclJgM.

The FoxSearch.me browser redirects may not be appreciated by power users and the majority of regular Web users. A quick look at FoxSearch.me should reveal that the site does not deliver optimizations to your Google searches. Additionally, the FoxSearch.me new tab does not include quick links to popular sites and the most frequently visited pages. If you are offered to install a browser add-on by FoxSearch.me make sure to read the Terms of Use and Privacy Policy published on foxsearch.me/privacy.php and foxsearch.me/terms.php first. If you are not sure which browser add-on has altered your browser settings and made FoxSearch.me handle your new tab and search — you may be interested in using a credible anti-spyware scanner that can remove unwanted extensions and programs associated with FoxSearch.me safely.
