The Search.chunckapp.com site is presented to Web surfers in twenty-four languages as a search service. Search.chunckapp.com resembles Google in many ways including the presence of a drawing on the main page and a layout that reminds of Google.com back in 2010. Search.chunckapp.com is not perceived as a very popular search service because its video and news search are not working at all. The top section of the results page is occupied by five paragraphs of paid advertisements, which surfers have no way of customizing to their tastes. Content on Search.chunckapp.com was detected by Web filters to feature links to harmful software, and the search service is related to cases of browser hijacking. Understandably, many users may not be willing to use Search.chunckapp.com as their default search provider and start page.

You might want to know that Search.chunckapp.com is registered to the 213.199.133.147 IP address by Resoft Ltd. that is a company affiliated with InfoSpace LLC. Both companies are associated with riskware and dubious search engines. The results page at Search.chunckapp.com is a clone of the one presented with Snap.do, which is operated by Resoft Ltd. and flagged as unreliable service. Search queries made via Search.chunckapp.com are routed through the servers at Css.infospace.com that is owned by InfoSpace LLC. The behavior of the Search.chunckapp.com search engine and those at Splintersearch.com and Search.tagadin.com are identical and aim to drive traffic to Snap.do. All portals mentioned before are related directly and indirectly to cases of browser hijacking and suspicious activity. PC security experts note that redirect-gateways may generate pop-up windows that include potentially harmful software and unsolicited marketing materials related to pornography. Search.chunckapp.com is not deemed as a family-friendly search engine that many users would like to set as their primary search aggregator. If you are infected with a browser hijacker that loads Search.chunckapp.com, it might be a good idea to use a credible anti-spyware scanner to clean your PC.
