Why Mysearchresults.com Is Dangerous

It can look like a regular search engine at first, but you will soon learn that it is a clearly unwanted program and you should not keep it installed on your system. First of all, Mysearchresults.com is being distributed using various deceptive methods and usually comes as a surprise.

Then, it changes various personal settings without even informing users about that. As a consequence, you will be forced to use their website on a daily basis. Since it is presented as an effective, advanced web search tool that can also provide you safer online search, you are probably going to search the web through it.

That’s what we do not recommend to do. There are several reasons why you should not use it:

• displayed results are irrelevant, you will waste your time;
• promoted and not relevant results are displayed in top positions;
• you will experience various additional advertisements;
• you might get redirected to other unreliable websites.

In conclusion, you put yourself in danger to be infected with other malware or even lose your personal information just by using this website. Also, all search queries submitted to Mysearchresults.com will be collected, so if some of your sensitive information is revealed there, it can be leaked too and that’s extremely dangerous.

You should always go for Custom installation and check if there are any additional components like Mysearchresults.com toolbar and deselect this option.
