Searchtigo.com is Closely Associated with Dangerous Browser Hijackers

Most computer users that have come in contact with the Searchtigo.com website will find that their Internet browser continually directs them to this malicious website. However, this problem cannot be remedied by clearing out your Internet browser's cache, cookies or browsing history. In fact, removing and reinstalling your Internet browser will do nothing to solve the problem of unwanted redirects to Searchtigo.com. This is because the problem will usually not reside on your Internet browser, but in the deepest levels of your computer system.

Redirects to the Searchtigo.com website are caused by a dangerous browser-hijacking Trojan. This malware infection changes the way in which your computer system fundamentally connects to the Internet, monitors your online activity, and forces you to visit Searchtigo.com after carrying out certain tasks (such as carrying out an online search on a popular search engine). One of the most dangerous aspects of malware associated with Searchtigo.com is that Searchtigo.com will usually be accompanied with a rootkit or bootkit which is designed to do various things. These include hiding the presence of any browser hijackers on your computer system, launching malware even before the operating system is loaded and preventing legitimate anti-malware software from operating correctly. The presence of these kinds of dangerous infections will usually require special anti-rootkit tools or a particularly strong and reliable anti-malware application. If your Internet browser is being redirect to Searchtigo.com constantly, seek help immediately.
