Isearch.glarysoft.com is a search engine that is associated with browser hijackers and with a potentially unwanted application in the form of a web browser toolbar. ESG security analysts warn computer users that criminals can use browser hijackers to take over a computer and force it to visit Isearch.glarysoft.com repeatedly. While the Isearch.glarysoft.com website does not seem to be dangerous in itself, ESG security researchers still consider contact with this website to expose your computer to malware potentially. This is because the content in Isearch.glarysoft.com can lead to websites containing known online scams or malware and browser redirects leading computer users to Isearch.glarysoft.com are usually caused by dangerous malware infections. This means that computer users that have visited Isearch.glarysoft.com, voluntarily or against their will, will probably have been exposed to malware in the form of a browser hijacker or in the form of websites containing malicious content stemming from search results of searches carried out using Isearch.glarysoft.com's search engine component.

Browser hijackers, as their name seems to imply, are malware infections that take control of the victim's web browser. This is done in order to force a computer user to visit a particular website or to cause the infected web browser to display a particular set of symptoms (such as displaying pop-up windows or inserting links into simple text content). Browser hijackers are often associated with a Trojan infection commonly referred to as the 'Google Redirect Virus' because its browser redirects will typically occur after carrying out a Google search (although they can occur after using any of the most popular search engines). These kinds of browser redirects are particularly effective at scamming inexperienced computer users since these are much more likely than advanced computer users to follow through after being redirected to Isearch.glarysoft.com, clicking on links contained in this website or using this website to carry out their searches.

Search results on Isearch.glarysoft.com are unreliable at best. These will often be sponsored, meaning that many of the search results will often be entirely unrelated to the search that was carried out. A hijacked browser is an opportunity for cybercriminals to profit by taking over your browser and redirecting you to unwanted websites with sponsored links. Fortunately, you can thwart their plans by using a genuine anti-malware tool to protect your machine.
