Q.search-simple.com is a search engine that isn't very popular. Maybe that's why its authors opted to change this by using a browser hijacker to redirect thousands of users to Q.search-simple.com as soon as they start their Web browser. Q.search-simple.com isn't an unsafe Web destination, and there is no evidence that this website may be associated with harmful or disturbing content. However, it is certain that Q.search-simple.com may use a browser hijacker to boost its traffic statistics significantly by redirecting random Internet users to this website forcefully.
The Q.search-simple.com hijacker may modify your Web browser's configuration automatically so that it includes 'Q.search-simple.com' as your default homepage, search engine and new tab page. These changes aren't threatening, but they may disrupt your regular browsing habits. Furthermore, the search algorithm that Q.search-simple.com uses may provide different search results compared to the search engine you used until now. That's why we advise users who notice Q.search-simple.com in their Web browser to take the necessary actions to revert these changes and remove the Q.search-simple.com hijacker from their computers immediately.
The removal of Q.search-simple.com browser hijacker should be executed in a swift manner by using a reputable anti-malware utility. Keep in mind that anti-malware software may not be able to revert your Web browser's settings, so you may have to restore your default homepage, search engine, and new tab page manually.
