Istartpageing.com is an unreliable search page, which you should not use when you need information. The cyberspace is now overwhelmed with similar low-quality search providers, but it is a rare occurrence to see a page that resembles Google so much. Istartpageing.com has copied the design of the search field as well as the popular 'Web,' 'Images,' 'Videos' and 'News' tabs literally. Virtually, the only difference is the absence of the Google logo, possibly for fear of prosecution due to copyright infringement. Thanks to these similarities, some people may not understand in time that they are not on the site of a legitimate search provider. Rarely do the visitors of istartpageing.com type its URL intentionally. It may appear as their start page automatically. This action can only be explained by the presence of a browser hijacker. These tools may attach to the installed web clients as plugins, and take control of them. The hijacker behind istartpageing.com may have gained access to your PC while you installed some third-party freeware. To avoid loading such highly questionable applications, you should perform the setup process through the 'Advanced' menu and uncheck additional components. If you conduct a search on istartpageing.com, you may notice that the results come from the Yahoo engine. If you repeat the same search directly on the Yahoo site, however, you may notice some differences in the results. It happens because istartpageing.com manipulates the actual results – this site may place links to its partners at the best positions. As a consequence, you may waste a lot of time until you find what you need. Don't forget that some of the affiliate pages of istartpageing.com may not be safe, so you should be extremely careful. If you want to delete the questionable add-on that keep istartpageing.com as the homepage, you need to scan your PC.
