HoistSearch

HoistSearch is a browser hijacker that may enter a computer when the PC user downloads a third-party freeware. Various novice PC users do not read the freeware's EULA and unknowingly allow the installation of this kind of app. Once installed, HoistSearch modifies the browser settings to redirect it to its website, hoistsearch.com, or to associated websites. The main objective of HoistSearch is to increase its traffic and display advertisements. If you are experiencing unsolicited redirects to hoistsearch.com, it is a clear sign that your machine has been affected by HoistSearch. To stop these annoying symptoms, you should use an anti-malware program to remove HoistSearch from your computer.
