Digstar Search is a browser hijacker, which is promoted via other freeware (video recording/streaming, download-managers or PDF creators) downloads that had packaged into their installation this Digstar Search. When installed on a PC, Digstar Search may modify the default homepage and default search engine with Digstar.com, and install the Digstar Toolbar. Digstar Search will show irritating pop-up advertisements and sponsored links in compromised search results of any genuine search engine and may gather search phrases from a PC user's search queries.

Digstar Search is also packaged within the custom installer on many download websites such as CNET, Brothersoft or Softonic, so if the PC user has downloaded an application from these websites, the PC user might have also installed Digstar Search during the program setup process.
