The Search.aquatoria.net site is presented to Web surfers as an alternative to search services like Google, Yahoo, Bing and DuckDuckGo. The Search.aquatoria.net site is perceived as an unreliable search aggregator that is a customized version of Google. Search.aquatoria.net is powered by a heavily modified Google engine that you can find at Cse.google.com/cse/home?cx=partner-pub-6762814118689665:1887625237, which features the name '147.' When you input keywords on Search.aquatoria.net, there are no suggestions in a drop-down menu as it is the case with the original version of Google. Additionally, Search.aquatoria.net offers only text-based results. Web surfers are provided with links to resources at Cse.google.com/cse/home?cx=partner-pub-6762814118689665:1887625237, which lacks quick access to services like Gmail, YouTube, Google Drive and Keep.

Computer users are not advised to visit Search.aquatoria.net and use it as their primary source of search results. Search.aquatoria.net may be enhanced by Google, but the site is associated with a browser hijacker that may force users to load Search.aquatoria.net as their new tab page, start page and search provider. The Search.aquatoria.net browser hijacker may be promoted as a search enhancer from Aquatoria.net that is a news site dedicated to political events in Ukraine and Russia. The management team behind Search.aquatoria.net does not provide a Privacy Policy Agreement to users, but you will find a link on Search.aquatoria.net that says Search.aquatoria.net/private.html. There is no document uploaded to Search.aquatoria.net/private.html, and the browser hijacker at hand may access information like your IP address, search terms on Google, bookmarks and downloads log. The Search.aquatoria.net browser hijacker is designed to reroute users to Search.aquatoria.net and help its owners claim pay-per-view and pay-per-click revenue from legitimate advertising platforms. A quick look at the code on Search.aquatoria.net and its networks connection reveal that the owners of Search.aquatoria.net may abuse the Yandex.Advertising and Google's DoubleClick platforms to make money from users infected with a browser hijacker.

It is not recommended to set Search.aquatoria.net as your primary search provider considering that it is linked to a browser hijacker and does not provide adequate ownership and management information. The Search.aquatoria.net browser hijacker may affect Google Chrome, Internet Explorer, Opera and Mozilla Firefox. Cyber security experts advise users to run a reliable anti-malware shield that can block connections to sites like Search.aquatoria.net and remove potentially unsafe applications that can affect your online experience.
