SearchQuick.net
SearchQuick.net Image
SearchQuick.net is a fairly generic-looking website with various links and a stock photo of a model occupying quite a lot of space in its main page. It is fairly obvious that the creators of SearchQuick.net did not spend too much time to improve the quality of SearchQuick.net. This is because the main point of SearchQuick.net is not the website itself, which is fairly innocuous, but a browser hijacker that is designed to force computer users to visit SearchQuick.net repeatedly. SearchQuick.net is a website designed to display nothing but advertisements and spam forcing computer users to visit SearchQuick.net repeatedly. The SearchQuick.net web page has a dark color scheme and is divided into several compartments. These will usually claim to display 'related searches' to the topic the computer user was searching for. In the bottom right corner is a fake link cloud. These links all lead to websites that are made up of nothing but advertisements or to unwanted websites.
The main danger associated with the SearchQuick.net web page is its link to dangerous browser hijackers. These are usually Trojan infections that take over the victim's computer and change the way it connects to the Internet. By doing this, browser hijackers can cause the victim's web browsers to visit SearchQuick.net repeatedly as well as change the victim's homepage to SearchQuick.net. A computer infected with a browser hijacker will often display other signs. The most usual symptom is a drastic lowering in the quality of the computer's connection to the Internet, often taking minutes to load a single web page. Frequent pop-up messages, crashes and changes to the computer's web browser settings are other symptoms associated with browser hijackers.
