The Websearch.helpmefindyour.info website imitates the minimalist look of Google. However, its main page already includes a nasty link to malware. In fact, that is the main reason why websites like Websearch.helpmefindyour.info are often blacklisted by security software. Although the low quality search engines themselves are not particularly malicious, they often link to a content that can expose the computer to malware. For example, the Websearch.helpmefindyour.info website itself contains a fake video below the search box. This video displays a message claiming that the 'codec to view this video was not found.' This is a well known scam. By downloading the supposed video codec, it actually infects your computer with malware. If you are been redirected to Websearch.helpmefindyour.info repeatedly without asking for it, this is a sign that your computer has become infected with a browser hijacker. Failure to remove Websearch.helpmefindyour.info can expose your computer to malware that is more dangerous and destructive.
