Zwiiky.com is a search site that may not have a positive reputation. It looks just like the Ask-based search engines, but the results that it displays may not be accurate. The purpose of this platform is to make you visit sponsored pages. The experts perceive this activity as an unrequested advertising process that may have adverse consequences. When you know that zwiiky.com may not show the most accurate results, it would not be a mistake to assume that the majority of PC users would never type its URL voluntarily in the address bar. The developers of this suspicious platform may 'force' people to use it by placing it as their homepage. This process may happen automatically because zwiiky.com is associated with a browser hijacker. If this term speaks nothing to you, browser hijackers are threatening Web add-ons that may change the functionality of Google Chrome, Mozilla Firefox and Internet Explorer. The imposed modifications benefit third parties and may cause various problems for the user.
The unreliable plugin behind zwiiky.com may find a way to the systems bundled with other applications with a free license. If you miss the fact that the hijacker is about to enter, you may start witnessing zwiiky.com all the time. The main reason not to use this engine when you need some information is that it may transfer you to sites that you should avoid. If the people responsible for the activity of zwiiky.com don't check the legitimacy of their partners properly, you may sometimes end up on deceptive or corrupted sites. Even if you are lucky enough not to find yourself in such domains, zwiiky.com may suggest you sites that may not offer what you need. As a result, you may waste your time. To delete the hijacker behind zwiiky.com and prevent annoying redirections, you should use a dedicated anti-malware solution.
