What is Enhanced-Search.com?

Enhanced-Search.com is a browser hijacker which is commonly found in the installers of various freeware utilities or games. It is usually installed without user’s consent. Enhanced-Search.com affects modern browsers, such as Internet Explorer, Google Chrome and Mozilla Firefox.

What makes Enhanced-Search.com an unwanted browser add-on, is that it serves you with additional advertisements while you browse the web. Like in the screenshot above, the advertisements may be misleading, forcing the user to think one has outdated codecs or plug-ins. In this particular advertisement, you would be directed to the site of some anti-spyware application. What is more, the hijacker modifies your browser’s settings to load its’ website on start-up, and changes the default search engine as well. Enhanced-Search.com should immediately be removed as any searches that you make in this website may be tracked and reported to advertising companies to serve you with more ads and pop-ups.
