Metacrawler.com is a deceptive website which poses as a legitimate and trustworthy web search service; however, in truth, Metacrawler.com won't provide you any reliable search results you could rely on, except links to dubious or advertising websites. Metacrawler.com's slogan is 'search the search engines' that is used with the purpose to seduce Internet users to use it for online searches. Metacrawler.com states to be powered by Google, Bing and Yahoo but, in reality, it is a lie. Metacrawler.com is associated with browser hijackers that can stealthily install a toolbar to the affected web browser and input some value in the default field of the Search Provider. These malware threats are able to hijack your web browser, change browser settings and search links. So, all search results you choose in Google, Yahoo, Bing and other search engines will redirect you to unwanted websites including Metacrawler.com. You should delete all malware infections related to Metacrawler.com, and thus, stop hits to this fake website.
