Search.tagadin.com is registered as a site dedicated to business and economy. However, Search.tagadin.com appears to host a search service and resemble Google.com in many ways. The Search.tagadin.com site features what is known as 'doodles ' on Google.com, which is a 500x200 pixel image that may appear hand-drawn and is usually related to an important event during the day. The design of Search.tagadin.com has similarities with the layout of Google back from 2010 when we had a black bar at the top and quick links to video, news, and images. Search.tagadin.com is owned by Resoft Ltd. that you may know for the TappyTop browser and the Safe Finder extension that are classified as riskware. Also, Resoft Ltd. operates the Snap.do search portal that is associated with more than a few cases of browser hijacking.

Search.tagadin.com may look a stand-alone search service, but it is a gateway to Snap.do. Moreover, users reported being redirected to Search.tagadin.com automatically. Cyber security experts revealed that Search.tagadin.com works the same way as Splintersearch.com, which is another gateway to Snap.do.

Search.tagadin.com is not deemed as a reliable search portal by experts and may include links to compromised pages.

The address bar may say Search.tagadin.com, but users may wish to look at the top right corner where they will find the logo of Snap.do. The content on your screen may seem generated by Search.tagadin.com, but your search requests are rerouted to Snap.do. The Search.tagadin.com browser hijacker may collect information like your browser type, IP address, browsing history, a list of cookies, names of installed certificates and bookmarks.
