Despite the fact that Searchonme.com looks like a generic search engine, Searchonme.com is actually associated with various dangerous browser hijackers. Browser hijackers are the main danger associated with Searchonme.com and can quickly make it irritating to use your computer effectively. If your web browser is redirecting you to visit Searchonme.com against your will, it is probable that it has been infected with a browser hijacker.

Most of the people that visit Searchonme.com do so because their computer is infected with malware. A malware threat known as a browser hijacker is used to take over the infected computer's web browser in order to direct it to the Searchonme.com website repeatedly. Since the advertisements and sponsored links found on the Searchonme.com website do not distinguish between computer users that visit Searchonme.com voluntarily and those that are forced to do so, browser hijackers can allow the criminals responsible for Searchonme.com to generate a considerable, illegal profit.

Browser hijackers, despite their name, are not linked to any particular web browser (at least those associated with Searchonme.com). Rather, these malware infections change how your computer connects to the Internet by making alterations to your computer's settings and replacing or changing important system files (such as the HOSTS file, which determines which DNS servers your computer connects to when establishing a connection to the Internet). Because of this, uninstalling your web browser will have no effect on Searchonme.com redirects, and these will occur on various web browsers. Searchonme.com-related malware can cause redirects to this website, the appearance of this website in pop-up windows and other symptoms (such as changing your homepage and default search engine to Searchonme.com or negatively affecting your computer's performance).
