Search.searchbenny.com is a low-level search engine developed by the SearchBenny Software. Novice computer users may be fooled by the Search.searchbenny.com's appearance because, at the first glance Search.searchbenny.com is very similar to a regular search engine since its presented search results come from Yahoo. However, you will notice that your Web browser was replaced by Search.searchbenny.com automatically, and any unrequested change usually means the action of ill-intended third parties. It is the case of Search.searchbenny.com. Search.searchbenny.com will add some hyperlinks to the search results it gets from Yahoo, which can direct you to suspicious and even corrupted websites. Search.searchbenny.com targets Macs users particularly, but the major Web browsers, such as Internet Explorer, Google Chrome and Mozilla Firefox also may become affected by Search.searchbenny.com. Computer users can allow the entrance of browser hijacker such as Search.searchbenny.com while downloading freeware unknowingly. Another negative aspect of Search.searchbenny.com is that it may collect the computer user's browsing habits and release the information to third parties to be used for marketing purposes. You should use an anti-malware tool to eliminate the Search.searchbenny.com browser hijacker.
