The Super-search.org and Mysupersearch.net are associated with the Super Search browser add-on that may be distributed to users via freeware bundles. The Super Search browser add-on works with Super-search.org and Mysupersearch.net to deliver search results that are said to be spot on and rival services like Google and Yahoo.

Additionally, Super-search.org and Mysupersearch.net do not offer information regarding their governing company and a feedback option.

The Super Search browser hijacker may redirect users to Super-search.org and Mysupersearch.net when they begin an online session, open a new tab and input keywords on the Omnibox, URL bar and search bar. The aim of the Super Search browser hijacker is to generate pay-per-visit revenue for its developers regardless of the low-quality services provided at Super-search.org and Mysupersearch.net. Compared to Google and Yahoo, the sites Super-search.org and Mysupersearch.net do not include adequate search results filters and access to cached versions of the pages listed on your screen.
