How does Searchparrot.world work?

Searchparrot.world looks like a search hijacker

You might have noticed your browser opening Searchparrot.world and other sites. Searchparrot.world might appear in your new tab page, your home page, or it might take over when you type a search query in your address bar.

Searchparrot.world appears to be a search hijacker. It appears very similar to Searchsnow.com, Search-fine.com, Searchitnow.info, as well as Searchgoose.com, Searchbaron.com and Searchmarquis.com.

Some of these sites, especially the last two, are pretty infamous. They’re asked about often by people frustrated that their browsers suddenly open these strange sites for no apparent reason.

Searchparrot.world doesn’t offer any features to make it worth using. It has no identity or branding – as if it wants to stay invisible. There’s not even a company name in Searchparrot.world’s Terms of Service or Privacy Policy.

It opens Ask.com and other sites

When Searchparrot.world hijacks search queries, it itself doesn’t show the results. Instead, it opens other sites, like Searchmonsoon.com and Ask.com. If Searchparrot.world hijacked your search, then you might see all kinds of unfamiliar URLs appear in your address bar.

There’s nothing wrong with Ask.com (although, ten years ago, it was quite infamous for its unwanted and very persistent toolbars). But it’s a problem if you’re forced to visit the site when you don’t want to. The same problem exists for Bing.com and Yahoo.com, even though these sites are also perfectly safe and legitimate. Some bad browser extensions and similar programs force users to visit these sites and that’s not okay.

What causes Searchparrot.world redirects?

Searchparrot.world and other adware infections spread in a few ways:

• They’re bundled with free programs. Tools like InstallCore allow installers to offer additional software during setup. Often, these offers are presented as part of the installation workflow. This leads to people allowing the offered software in unintentionally.
• They are advertised deceptively online. Fake software updates (Flash Player‘s name is used often) are used to spread malware.
• Safe browser extensions may start acting deceptively. They are occasionally turned into adware when they’re sold by their owners to marketing companies.

It’s most likely that an adware infection is causing your browser to open this site. You can stop Searchparrot.world from appearing in your browser by finding and deleting that infection.

How to stop Searchparrot.world redirects

Find and uninstall malicious and potentially unwanted programs and browser extensions.

Verify that the Searchparrot.world redirects are being caused by a program or a browser extension: start your computer in safe mode (Windows, macOS) and see if the Searchparrot.world stop. Safe mode stops unnecessary programs.

You can find them by thoroughly reviewing your recently installed programs and browser add-ons.

For instance, you can disable your browser add-ons one by one and see what effect that has on your browser.

You can also use antivirus tools, such as Spyhunter for Windows, Spyhunter for Mac, Combo Cleaner for macOS, and others. They can help you find suspicious apps that you might miss when searching manually.

Uninstall, remove, and delete those items that are causing problems. Finally, review the search and new tab settings in your browsers and set them to be the way that’s best for you.
