Toolbars&Hijackers

Search.tablicious.com is a dubious domain that can be promoted by some unwanted extension or program installed on your PC. Software that changes browser settings to install new search engines, tabs, homepages, and other modifications is usually categorized as browser hijackers. In most cases, search engines promoted by hijackers are fake and unable to generate their own results. Instead, they are used as intermediary pages and eventually lead to legitimate search portals like Yahoo, Bing, Google, or others. search.tablicious.com is no different - it has shown to redirect users to Bing. Such redirection schemes are designed to help cybercriminals generate fake traffic and earn commissioned money on it.

DockMode is an unwanted app that belongs to the AdLoad malware family, which is notorious for developing a number of similar-functioning adware infections. DockMode is one of them as it modifies browser settings to promote intrusive advertisements, which will appear in vast amounts on various pages that users visit. Such ads often contain redirects to scam pages, adult websites, malicious pages distributing malware, and other dubious/dangerous resources as well. In addition, software like DockMode can hijack browser settings to install new search engines and run data surveillance (e.g., history, geolocation, IP addresses, passwords, credit card credentials, etc.) while users browse the web. Thus, DockMode's presence may lead to privacy threats, financial losses, and other kinds of risks for users infected by it and hence it needs to be removed. Learn the complete and trace-free removal process to get rid of the unwanted program in our instructions below.

SearchResultsDelivery falls under the category of browser hijackers - a type of software (usually extension) that installs unwanted changes in browser settings without users' permission. Once installed, the homepage will change and all search queries will get redirected through the searchresultsdelivery.com domain and possibly other dubious intermediary pages. Unlike the majority of hijackers, SearchResultsDelivery can generate its own results, which may create a false sense of being useful. In fact, the displayed results should not be trusted as they can be linked with unwanted or even malicious pages. Keep in mind that developers of browser hijackers often pursue financial goals - by promoting affiliated content, generating fake traffic, and illegally collecting/selling browser-related information (e.g., browser history, IP-addresses, geolocations, cookies, etc.). Thus, it is highly advised to stay away from such unknown and unwanted software that may put your privacy and user experience at risk. Browser hijackers tend to install additional entries in the system to make traditional removal methods ineffective. If you are struggling to delete the unwanted extension (or program) on your own, follow our detailed guide to do it correctly - with specialized tools and step-by-step guidelines.

Having your search entries redirected through m.gsearch.co is a sign of an unwanted extension or program that might be installed in your system. Software that alters the user's default search engine, homepage, and other related settings is often referred to as browser hijackers. Results generated by M.gsearch.co or any other hijacker that appeared without users' consent should not be trusted - some of them may cause redirects to unwanted or even malicious pages putting users' safety at risk. Furthermore, while entering search queries into the search field, a user may also be randomly redirected through/to other doubtful domains. In addition, by controlling browser settings, cybercriminals can also gather browser-related data (e.g., passwords, IP addresses, geolocations, etc.) and sell it to third-party figures. Thus, we advise you to delete M.gsearch.co and the software responsible for its promotion, especially if it appeared without your consent. Follow our guide below to do it and get additional tips on protecting yourself against such threats in the future.

Advanced Web Search is an unwanted extension that can get installed in a browser without your consent (see how it could infiltrate your system here). Both Mac and Windows users reported its presence in Google Chrome with the following symptoms - modified default search engine, homepage appearance, and random redirects to third-party pages. When Advanced Web Search is installed, users are likely to see their search queries getting redirected through a suspicious search engine and then ending up shown by a legitimate portal like Yahoo, Google, or Bing. In addition, it is also possible that you may see an increased amount of ads generated on various pages. Many browser hijackers use the technology of "virtual layers" to display hovering ads over websites you visit. Such ads are usually affiliated with unwanted content selling low-quality/fake software or even distributing malware - thus, you should avoid clicking on them. Unwanted extensions may also be able to gather some browser information (e.g., IP addresses, geolocations, cookies, web history, etc.) and sell it to third-party figures. Browser hijackers can also install the "Managed by your organization" feature, which will negate traditional ways of removing extensions. If you got infected by Advanced Web Search and struggle to remove it yourself, use our guide to do it correctly and without traces.

Searchesmia.com is a suspicious domain promoted by an unwanted extension. It has been reported that this address redirects users to fake search engines (e.g., gosearches.gg, goodsearchez.com, privatesearches.org) and display search results from them. The displayed results may therefore contain links to unwanted or even malicious pages (phishing sites, scam affairs, websites promoting fake software, adult pages, and so forth). The fake Google Docs extension is one of the applications that was spotted in promoting such changes. Shady software that changes browser settings is classified as browser hijackers and can also enable data-tracking abilities to let cybercriminals collect sensitive data. Similarly to other browser hijackers, the one promoting Searchesmia.com may also install the "Managed by your organization" feature to complicate its removal process. If you see Searchesmia.com as your default URL address and/or experience other unwanted changes, follow our guide below to remove it and restore your browser settings.

Gosearches.gg is classified as browser hijacker, as it installs without users' consent and provides low-quality or ad-filled search results. It can infect Google Chrome, Mozilla Firefox, Safari or Edge browsers on Windows, Mac, Android or iOS. Hijacker is usually accompanied by GoSearch extension, that hiddenly installs in browsers and starts controlling the settings of the default search and homepage. Those settings cannot be altered unless malicious add-on is removed. Sometimes, when you got infected with Gosearches.gg, you will see "Managed by your organization" label in Google Chrome settings, which blocks the possibility to change search and homepage options. We recommend you to remove Gosearches.gg as soon as possible, because it replaces default Google, Yahoo or Bing search of your main browser and starts displaying its own search results. These results may lead to phishing, advertising or just virulent web pages and usually not relevant. Please, follow instructions on the page carefully to get rid of annoying hijacker and prevent future infections.

Microsearch.me is considered an unwanted search engine that is promoted by browser hijackers. As a rule, it is caused by Google Chrome extension called Micro Search. Browser hijackers are a piece of software (either extension or program) that gets installed without users' consent and alters certain browser settings. Such changes often imply replacements in the default homepage, search engine, and other similar segments. Making users browse through unwanted search engines (like microsearch.me) lets cybercriminals generate traffic and earn money on it. The displayed search results may be untrustworthy and contain redirects to potentially dangerous websites. In addition, they can also promote ads to sponsored/affiliated content. As a result, users can end up on various scam pages, adult websites, fake software download domains, malware-hosting websites, and other potentially suspicious or dangerous ones. If microsearch.me appeared without your consent, we strongly advise you to remove it from your system. Use our guide below to do so and read how browser hijackers could infect your system.
