Search.searchinsocial.com is a questionable search provider that may appear as your homepage if you are infected with a browser hijacker. This engine has no database of its own. Search.searchinsocial.com copies most of the displayed results from Yahoo. The problem is that this shady site includes a lot of sponsored links without marking them properly. The purpose of this activity is to bring unsuspecting computer users to sponsored third-party pages. This way, the administrators of Search.searchinsocial.com may collect certain commissions for the provided Web traffic to its partners. Unfortunately, the experts cannot verify that all of the affiliated domains are safe. In some cases, Search.searchinsocial.com may redirect you to fraudulent or harmful platforms. It is advisable not to install any software offered by them because it may be threatening. Keep in mind that the administrators of corrupted sites may deceive the visitors that their Java/Adobe is outdated. This way, they can sneak Potentially Unwanted Programs (PUPs) or threats in the system.
It is certain that Search.searchinsocial.com will not show more relevant results than Google, Yahoo or Bing, so it is not advisable to use it. However, as long as the browser hijacker associated with this site remains in your system, you may notice the dubious search provider whenever you go online. Search.searchinsocial.com may become your default search engine as well. The suspicious extension may cause additional issues with the Web clients too. You may encounter many vouchers and discount codes. Their loading may cause a drop in the performance of Google Chrome, Mozilla Firefox and Internet Explorer. The browser hijacker might have come alongside third-party freeware. If you haven't installed any new application in recent past, then the questionable extension might have taken advantage of some system vulnerabilities. The suggested course of action is to perform a full scan of your PC with a leading security application.
