Although it might look like an ordinary search engine offering web, image, video, news and shopping search options, you should be aware that the results it displays are not the same as those of Google or Yahoo!. Usually browser hijackers like searchalgo.com tend to mix advertised links among top search results without distinguishing them in any way. This trick ensures a computer user will click on an advertised link and generate money for the company. Searchalgo.com is known to promote third party sites, such as specialsavings.com causing pop-up ads to be displayed.

It is quite common that a computer user does not know how his home page and default search engine suddenly changed to searchalgo.com, zooms.searchalgo.com, movix.searchalgo.com or tv.searchalgo.com. When he tries to reset it via browser settings, it appears that this is not enough for unwanted redirections to be eliminated. Due to these signs many think searchalgo.com is a virus but the truth is it does not cause any direct harm to your computer besides being very annoying. Yet it is recommended to remove the files causing redirections, first of all because having ads displayed increases a risk of getting your system infected with malware and Trojans by accidentally clicking on a malicious link.
