The Search.ueep.com website is associated with a Web browser hijacker that causes computer users to visit Search.ueep.com repeatedly as well as a variety of other symptoms. When an affected computer is used to go online, this browser hijacker repeatedly takes the computer user to Search.ueep.com. Most computer users will first be made aware of the problem on their computer after detecting that their homepage has been changed to Search.ueep.com. This is one of the most visible symptoms of the browser hijacker associated with Search.ueep.com. If your computer is causing browser hijacker symptoms, what is recommended by ESG security researchers is the usage of a trusted anti-malware program to remove this and other threats.
Criminals use browser hijackers for two tasks: to deliver advertisements to the victim's computer and to force the computer user to visit certain websites repeatedly. These are usually part of an online advertising tactic that involves monetizing certain websites and affiliate marketing links, forcing computer users to view advertisements which generate revenue for the creators of these kinds of unwanted applications. It is important to note that Search.ueep.com itself will not attack your computer directly. However, this website, disguised as a search engine, has several indirect associations with PC infections. The first of these is that a browser hijacker is used to force computer users to visit Search.ueep.com repeatedly; the second is that search results of any search carried out on Search.ueep.com are unreliable and may often lead to questionable online content.
