Monsear.xyz is a dubious search engine linked to an aggressive browser hijacker that can replace a Web browser's default homepage, search engine and new tab page with Monsear.xyz automatically. The hijacker responsible for these changes may be distributed with the help of software bundles that may trick users into agreeing to install the Monsear.xyz hijacker unknowingly. The browser hijacker may often be advertised as a useful browser extension that can help users find relevant content, as well as provide them with more accurate search results. However, you can rest assured that Monsear.xyz isn't a better search engine than Google, Bing, Yahoo and other popular search engines. Also, Monsear.xyz may display marketing content, sponsored search results, and other irrelevant information or links.
Monsear.xyz doesn't seem to promote unsafe content or potentially threatening websites. However, this doesn't mean that its search features are reliable, and we advise users to stick to using reputable and popular search engines such as Google, Bing or Yahoo. Due to the Monsear.xyz hijacker's behavior, users might not be able to restore their browser's configuration without removing the browser hijacker responsible for the issue. The Monsear.xyz browser hijacker may be installed as a Web browser extension or, in the case of Internet Explorer, as a Browser Helper Object (BHO). This may make manual removal a viable option, but we advise users to dispose of the Monsear.xyz browser hijacker by using a potent anti-malware scanner that can scan and remove all of the hijacker's files and Registry entries from the affected computer swiftly and efficiently.
