Malicious Quickneasysearch.com add-on

As most of other browser hijackers such as search50.co or search.securysearch.com, Quickneasysearch.com virus is based on a browser add-on. That means in order to effectively infect your computer, it needs to be added to your web browser. You need to understand that not the website itself is malicious – it’s this add-on which will cost you a headache.

Even though it is described as a service that will allow you to search the web faster and easier, it is not true. In fact, it is completely useless because search engine of this website is not working at all. Just take a look at the image below, where we treid to find something about our website on Quickneasysearch.com:

That’s right, just a blank page. Regardless of what you are searching, you will never get any results back. So it is nothing more than a waste of time – your homepage website has 1 prime function and this function is not working.

Then you might ask – what’s the point of infecting computer and placing a website with no ads or other links on a homepage? Well, there are several reasons to do that and one of them is to collect information about you. You see, every time you fill-in some kind of search query into Quickneasysearch.com, it is recorded. It is even more dangerous if this search query happens to be your private or very sensitive information.

This way developers of this infection are making money. They sell collected information to other parties. Speaking of developers of Quickneasysearch.com, it is not clear who they are. Legal information about this website is strictly protected. All we know – it’s some kind of company in Asia, trying to reach audience globally.

This add-on can be also used to distribute other malware. If it is added to your web browser, you might get some suggestions to add additional tools from time to time. We recomend to decline those offers because you can never trust malware providers.
