Trackpackagehome.com is supposed to be useful and free tool which can provide you with the ability to search the web and track packages more convenient. However, while functionality of this infection is highly questionable, it has some side effects that you should be aware of.

First of all, Trackpackagehome will change some settings on your web browsers. Both homepage and default search engine will be set to www.trackpackagehome.com so from now on, every time you open a web browser, this website will appear.

We do not recommend to use it, because if you try to search for something via this fake search engine, a lot of sponsored results will appear. They might be not even relevant to your search queries, therefore you will waste your time this way. Moreover, it is dangerous to click on the, so you should avoid it.

TrackpackageHome provides 2 searches : One, main is to search web using sponsored search engines. They will get money for the searches you make. Second box is for tracking packages, which just parses the package number and redirects to one of 3 postage companies. This search is to hide the fact that there is almost no difference from countless other search hijackers.

Additionally, this website tries to hide ownership of the page in many ways. The entity responsible for page content is nowhere provided. Just a postage address. The main reason is that the owners are in fact ashamed about what they are doing or do not want lawsuits for the hijacks.

If it happens so that you click on the sponsored link on Trackpackagehome.com you will be immediately redirected to other websites that might be owned by various cyber criminals, such as hackers or scammers. This way your computer can get infected with other viruses or if you attempt to purchase something there you can even et scammed and lose your hard earned money.
