What is SearchBrowsing.com?
SearchBrowsing.com belongs to a browser hijacker which changes your browser’s home page and default search engine to searchbrowsing.com. Once installed, all searches conducted via browser’s search bar will be directed through this website, which displays more advertisements than most regular search engines. Also, the search phrases may be gathered and tracked by fishy companies which may use the data to display even more advertisements according to your browsing behavior.
Although SearchBrowsing may have its uninstaller app in Windows Control Panel, not all files will be removed by it, not to mention fixing your browser to prior state. We highly suggest that you follow our guide to get rid of this hijacker, either by using an antispyware app to take care of the removal process for you, or by manually removing files and registry keys to completely erase the infection.
