Search.oursafesearch.com is a low-quality search engine that may replace your Web browser's default homepage, search engine and new tab page unexpectedly. This usually happens with the assistance of a small piece of software that anti-virus product vendors identify as a browser hijacker. The Search.oursafesearch.com browser hijacker isn't something you should be afraid of because it is incapable of causing any damage to your computer, exposing your data or performing any other malicious actions. However, the browser hijacker may hijack your Web browser's configuration and force the browser to send you to Search.oursafesearch.com automatically whenever you attempt to browse the Web.

Using Search.oursafesearch.com isn't unsafe, but you should keep in mind that this search engine isn't reputable, and it may provide manipulated or sponsored search results. If you want to be certain that your Web browsing habits will not be changed in a negative way, then we recommend that you avoid using Search.oursafesearch.com. Keep in mind that the Search.oursafesearch.com browser hijacker may perform checks continuously to see if the Web browser's configuration has been changed. By doing so, it may prevent users from restoring their original settings and removing Search.oursafesearch.com. To deal with this issue, you should remove the browser hijacker with the help of a reliable anti-malware scanner. Keep in mind that removing the Search.oursafesearch.com browser hijacker solves only the first part of the problem, and you will still need to restore your Web browser's settings manually once the hijacker has been removed.
