Googlesearch.me

The Googlesearch.me site is not a domain under the control of Google Inc. The Googlesearch.me Web portal is operated by a third-party entity that did not add contact info on Googlesearch.me apart from the 'bestaddon@gmail.com' email account, which does not appear to relate to any company. The Googlesearch.me site is presented to visitors as a search services provider that includes a social feed from a Google's account at Plus.google.com/+google. The site owner appears to be trying to confuse users that Googlesearch.me is an official domain that offers content related to technologies by Google. Browser tabs loaded with Googlesearch.me feature the title 'Google search' and the official Google logo.

However, search operations performed on Googlesearch.me trigger a series of browser redirects via yhseach.club/812.html?q=[keyword] to goto.maxdealz.com/v1/hostedsearch?keyword=[keyword] and you arrive at us.search.yahoo.com. The site is closely associated with a browser hijacker that might be installed on computers thanks to free software bundles. The Googlesearch.me browser hijacker is observed to affect browsers like Google Chrome, Internet Explorer and Mozilla Firefox. Web surfers who are compromised and click on content at Googlesearch.me may be shown pop-up and pop-under windows with promotional materials like banners, video commercials, discounts and recommended software.
