The Safebrowsing.biz domain is part of a network that may be used to record your search criteria and allow marketers to provide better-suited ads to users. The browser hijacker linked to Safebrowsing.biz has versions that are configured to connect to other domains and redirect users to related pages. Also, the browser hijacker at hand might block the native ads on your favorite pages and load marketing content from sponsors. The Safebrowsing.biz domain is a clone of Esurf.biz which is blacklisted by most Web filters, and we have it added to our database.

ExoClik is a legitimate ad platform that may be abused by adware developers to earn a profit. The browser hijacker linked to Safebrowsing.biz and its clones are not safe programs and may redirect users to untrusted domains. Additionally, browser hijacking applications may recommend users to install adware such as CycloneCover and DealHut. The links on Safebrowsing.biz may lead users to phishing pages that are indistinguishable from the legitimate log-in portal for your social media, banking service and preferred online shop.
