Home.SearchPile.com is an untrustworthy search platform that displays manipulated results from Google. You should not use Home.SearchPile.com because it may redirect you to pages that may be threatening. The developers of this engine use Home.SearchPile.com to get referral commissions by transferring the PC user to partner domains. Home.SearchPile.com doesn't appear as the homepage for no reason. If you didn't set Home.SearchPile.com as the starting site manually, then you may have some possibly unwanted programs on your PC. Home.SearchPile.com is closely associated with various suspicious applications like StreamingWhereTV, TVStreamSurfer and Utilitab Secure. These unreliable programs may enter in the background when the person installs freeware bundles. This tactic is very efficient against less experienced PC users for one simple motive – the commonly selected 'Quick' menu may not display details about bundled elements. As a result, you may receive no clue whatsoever that you are about to load something besides the main program. If you want to decide for yourself what to install, you should use the more detailed 'Advanced' menu, which sometimes goes by the name 'Custom.'

The listed applications may offer some reliable functions, but they also may possess a browser hijacking module. They may create an add-on in the present Web clients. The unwanted extension may be compatible with Google Chrome, Mozilla Firefox and Internet Explorer. This browser hijacker may cause a lot of changes automatically. Home.SearchPile.com may become your default search provider. Nothing in the design of this site provides clues that Home.SearchPile.com may be unreliable. You may notice an ordinary search field and a colorful logo above it. However, if you initiate a search, you may encounter dozens of sponsored links in the first page. Some of them may lack any slogan that suggests they were included artificially. It is not recommended to visit the promoted sites. Some of them may host threatening software while others may be totally irrelevant to your query. To stop automatic redirections to Home.SearchPile.com, you should delete the corresponding browser hijacker with a credible security program.
