Threat Database Adware Easysearch.club

Easysearch.club

Easysearch.club is an annoying application that is spread via questionable distribution methods. As such, many users may not even realize that the application is being installed on their computers or devices. The reliance on underhanded tactics, such as dubious software bundles and fake installers, classifies these applications as PUPs (Potentially Unwanted Programs).

On the other hand, Easysearch.club's capabilities include those of adware and a browser hijacker. This means that once inside the computer, the application will initiate an intrusive ad campaign, while also taking control over the installed Web browsers. Users should be careful when dealing with the advertisements generated by untrustworthy sources. Behind their clickbait and alluring messages, these advertisements could be promoting additional PUPs, leading to unsafe websites, fake giveaways, phishing pages or other suspicious destinations on the Internet.

At the same time, users will notice that their Web browser is acting strangely. Instead of the usual homepage, new tab page, or default search engine, the browser is now opening an unfamiliar address, usually a fake search engine. While the PUP is present on the system, it will most likely prevent the user from making any further modifications to the targeted settings.

Keep in mind that while some fake engines show results taken from legitimate engines, such as Yahoo, Bing, or Google, this is not always the case. The initiated search query also ould be taken to a dubious engine that will return inaccurate results containing sponsored advertisements or links to suspicious websites.
