Computer users that explore the Internet via search results may be interested in installing the Spot-Search browser enhancer. The Spot-Search browser enhancer may claim to improve your search capabilities, but it is a browser hijacker that might use the Spot-Search.com redirect-portal to send users to the custom shopping engine on Search-smartshopping.com. The Spot-Search browser hijackers may change your homepage to Spot-Search.com and your search aggregator to Smart-shopping.com. Also, the Spot-Search browser hijacker may show pop-up windows and banners loaded with news and promotional materials from Smart-shopping.com. The Spot-Search.com redirect-portal is designed to look like the original Google Web page to claim credibility, but its search bar is only a function to send users to Smart-shopping.com.
The Spot-Search browser hijacker may be listed as a browser toolbar in your 'Programs and Features' list of the 'Control Panel.' The Spot-Search browser hijacker is created by Babylon Ltd. that released the Delta Chrome adware and should not be mistaken with Babylon Software Ltd. that maintains the Babylon Translation Platform. Additionally, Babylon Ltd. is known for the Holasearch.com and Opti-page.com browser hijackers, and it is not wise to rely on the search results provided by Search-smartshopping.com. The search engine on Search-smartshopping.com is programmed to provide users with results related to coupons, discounts, premium offers, and limited-time promotions to generate affiliate marketing revenue for its developers. The Spot-Search.com browser hijacker may redirect users to harmful domains and crash your Internet browser. Computer users are advised to install a trusted anti-spyware tool to delete the Spot-Search.com browser hijacker and prevent security issues.
