Seekmix.com is a search engine that most of you probably have not heard of. This is not surprising considering that most people prefer to use the services of popular search engines like Google, Yahoo and Bing. Unfortunately, low-quality search engines like Seekmix.com may use shady techniques to attract more visitors. The shady methods that Seekmix.com uses may trick users into accepting to replace their favorite search engine and homepage with Seekmix.com unknowingly. One of the ways that the website's authors can achieve this is with the help of a browser hijacker – a small application whose sole purpose is to manipulate a Web browser's configuration, so that it takes users to a particular website.

The Seekmix.com browser hijacker may reconfigure any popular Web browser so that it redirects users to Seekmix.com instantly. These redirects aren't threatening because Seekmix.com isn't known to distribute any harmful applications or Potentially Unwanted Programs. However, this website may be used to promote affiliate services and products, as well as offer users to visit other low-quality websites that may be used to host dubious content.

If the Seekmix.com Web page appears in your browser suddenly, then it's very likely that the reason for this is the installation of the browser hijacker in question. Manual removal of the Seekmix.com browser hijacker may be a difficult task to accomplish, and that's why we advise affected users to solve the issue with the help of a trustworthy and potent anti-malware scanner.
