What is Quick-Seeker.com?

Quick-Seeker.com is a website related to the Quick Seeker browser hijacker. Once infected, the internet browser (Internet Explorer, Google Chrome or Mozilla Firefox) will display quick-seeker.com upon each launch, and all your searches will be performed on quick-seeker.com, instead of your prefered search engine (i.e. Google.com).

The hijacker is known to display additional advertisements while browsing the web, thus slowing down your browser application. In addition, your browsing habits may be reported to and gathered by third party companies, as it is very common among such infections.

If you see Quick-Seeker.com on your browser, your computer is most likely infected with the hijacker. Usually many free programs are bundled with adware such as Quick Seeker, which is installed by default, unless you uncheck certain checkboxes during the installation process.
