Burstsearch.com

Burstsearch.com is the domain name of a basic search aggregator that does not appear to pose a threat to its users' data or safety. However, this basic search engine is not likely to provide you with the high-quality service that established search aggregators like Google, Yahoo and Bing can.

Despite the fact that the Burstsearch.com search engine is not unsafe in any way, it is associated with multiple PUPs (Potentially Unwanted Programs). These PUPs would pose as useful tools that would enhance users' browsing quality, but their only goal is to promote the Burstsearch.com search engine. Usually, when the user installs a PUP of this type, the application would tamper with the user's settings and set up the Burstsearch.com website as their default new tab page to boost its traffic.

If you are being redirected to the Burstsearch.com website every time you open a new tab page, you should consider installing a trustworthy anti-malware utility and using it to scan your system. The security tool would be able to detect and eliminate any PUP that may be present on your computer.
