The Exploretoday.co website belongs to a dubious search engine. Although it is capable of providing search results generated on its own, users will quickly discover that the shown results are of low quality and will typically contain various sponsored advertisements. In short, using Exploretoday.co to find relevant destinations across the Internet is neither efficient nor convenient.
Naturally, users are very unlikely intentionally to decide to make engines such as Exploretoday.co their main way to conduct Web searches. Instead, these dubious or outright fake engines are commonly promoted via intrusive PUPs (Potentially Unwanted Programs) equipped with browser hijacker capabilities. After being installed on the device, these annoying applications will take over the user's browser and change several important settings, such as the homepage, new tab page and the default search engine. In most cases, users will not be able to revert the changes while the PUP is still present on the system.
At the same, the user's browsing activities could be monitored and collected by both the PUP, as well as the dubious search engine itself. Information, such as the entire browsing history, search history, and clicked URLs could be continuously transmitted to a remote server. Users should be warned that many PUPs go after additional information, as well. These applications may try to harvest various device details or even information extracted from browsers' autofill data. This feature is usually used as a way to automatically fill in account credentials, banking details, payment information and other confidential and sensitive details.
